Even if it's true, never make negative or opinionated comments about your current or past employers or co-workers. Do you have any questions for me? Ans : Yes, "Could you tell me your name again?" then ull get an answer. Then ask that person a question again : How much vacation time can I expect?" Ask specific questions that show you already know a lot about the company, but want to know more. Do not ask questions that you should already know the answers to, like, "What does your company do?" Also, don't ask salary or vacation-related questions like "When do you give raises?" "How much vacation time can I expect?" Save those questions for after you hear, "We'd like to offer you the job."
