Re: Interviewing

I always ask why the position is available.  I need to know:
Did the last TW become President?
Did the last TW run screaming from the building?
Is the Dept. expanding?

But be prepared for surprising answers:
In one case, I was told the previous TW died!  (Of course begging the
question:  "Was it work related?"  I was assured it wasn't.)

I also try to ask something that seems "pertinent" to that specific company.
It shows I'm really interested in that company.
