If you’re lucky enough to have a job interview – don’t blow it by asking the wrong questions...

Will I have to work overtime? That’s one of the questions NOT to ask on that job interview...

It makes you sound inflexible. A better approach is to ask what a typical workday entails. That will give you a good idea of the workload. Here are a few more questions NOT to ask:



• Is it possible to telecommute? If there has been no mention of that in the job description, skip that question. If telecommuting is a big priority for you, stick to jobs labeled as such.
• What kind of daycare do you offer? Not only does it show a lack of research on your part, it also gives the interviewer some potentially negative information.



• Do you give the day after Thanksgiving off? Even if this is a deal-breaker for you, wait until you get the job offer to discuss salary, holidays and time off.
