Questions to Ask Employers

http://www.businessinsider.com/6-questions-to-ask-during-your-interview-that-will-make-an-employer-want-to-hire-you-2013-2?goback=.gde_1855043_member_227898007

This article was a homerun!  Asking questions can differentiate a student from the rest of the crowd and show's the student has a genuine interest in joining the company.  I would like to take this one step further however in that while it is a severe mistake to not ask questions, it is potentially an even greater mistake to ask the WRONG questions.  I believe sincerity is important in an interview so therefore if you have a list of the same three questions you ask each and every interviewer you could potentially be coming across as insincere.  I believe it is good practice putting in significant time in what questions to ask.  I also believe that too many students get caught up on the true purpose of asking these questions.  While it is true, asking appropriate questions can make you seem like a better candidate, but above all it gives you a chance to learn more about the company!
