A good question to ask: What's a typical day like in this position? And don't forget a firm handshake...a limp one is an immediate turn-off.

I agree that coming up with questions before you go into the interview is very important. Employers always will ask if you have any questions. On one interview I had to meet with three different people and they each asked me if I had any questions. I asked them all the only question I could think up on the spot and it was very lame. My advice- think of great questions ahead of time because employers get excited about your curiosity.

I always hate the question, "What are your weaknesses?" Definitely plan ahead for that one.

I also think the question "Is there room to grow in this company" is a good one too. It shows that you are motivated in excelling in your position, and will also determine if it's a dead-end job or not.

When do I start is also a great question. hehe.

I work in Human Relations, and we always get people who when we contact, say "sorry, I can't come in that day. I have ______." They should make sure and be there. It shows they want the job.

Honesty
I think it's always best to be on time, and be yourself. You need to let them see you have a great personality, and that you can get the job done. I have gotten caught being dishonest. So I also think it's best to tell the truth. You can exagerate a little bit, but a honest woman has nothing to fear.
