what questions should I ask job interviewers?

Name: Anonymous 2006-04-28 14:21

Well 4chan, I've just graduated university and when I move up North I'm going to be looking for a job.

I'm one of those slackers who never bothered getting a job while in college, so I'm going to try to emphasize what I learned rather than the fact I have no references or "real world" experience.  I think I pretty much know what to emphasize and tout.

What I don't know is what to ask the job interviewer.  What sort of things should I look for in a company?  Most of the questions I have are related to a company's morals (stop laughing) -- for example if I have a feeling they'll have me work on DRM or "Trusted" Computing, I'll scratch out that company as one to work for.  Other than that, what other sort of information is good to get out of a job interviewer when I'm a job-newbie/programmer-journeyman?

>>3 >>If you have no experience and want to be picky like that, don't expect to get employed. You can afford to get picky after you've proven yourself capable.

I'm not sure I understand.

I can only prove myself capable if I get a job.

But not having had a job before, I won't get the chance to prove myself capable?

That's always why I've been hesitant to apply for computer science jobs -- pretty much all of the job descriptions say "requires 1-4 years prior experience".  Um... taken literally, how are NEW people going to ever enter the workforce?  I came to the conclusion they just put that there so they have leverage to pay you less when you're new, which I have no problem with, and that I should just go ahead and try to get the job anyway.
