Just think about the times when you had a bad job. What questions would you have asked before you took that job? Asking questions at the interview is your last chance to ensure that you are not making another mistake by accepting this position.
Asking intelligent questions never fails to make a positive impression. The reason for this is somewhat subtle but effective nevertheless. Consciously, someone who answers questions well impress people. Subconsciously, however, they are even more impressed by the wisdom of questions asked. Asking one good question can be said to be the equivalent of providing good answers to three difficult questions.
Watch out for this the next time that you are watching a courtroom drama on television. The lawyer asking the questions always seems knowledgeable and intelligent. To the viewer it is almost always obvious what it is that the lawyer is trying to prove. In an interview situation it won't be obvious why you are asking the questions that you do. This will make you even more intriguing to your interviewers on a subconscious level.
Your asking incisive and thought-provoking questions will immediately elevate your standing in the eyes of your interviewers. If you were proving to be an average candidate thus far in the interview, you will immediately have positioned yourself as a much more memorable interviewee.
