Job Interview Questions

Only after significant mutual interest is established or an actual job offer is in hand should you ask questions about the community where you will be living and working. The precious time of the interview is better spent on establishing mutual interest. There will be ample time to collect this information after the interview.

Of course, the company will have a lot of material promoting the community in which it operates. But also collect independent information from real estate agents, chambers of commerce, and other responsible agencies. The following is a checklist of issues you should be conversant with as you and your family make a decision. Most of these issues deal with cost.
