A recruiter told me to ask at the end of the interview "Is there anything
you can think of that would prevent me from moving forward in this
position?" This accomplishes two things rather nicely:
- it indicates a serious interest in the position and
- identifies potential stumbling blocks *while there is still time to do something about them*
This is my personal favorite. If the interview was positive up to this
point, this question leads the interviewer to a positive response. It keeps
things moving forward.
It's also a way to ask to the job without saying "Gimme da job" and it goes along with what John, Gene, I, and others have said all along.
