Congratulations -- you've made it to the interview stage of the job application process, which means the company that's invited you in clearly thinks you're a viable candidate. Now all you need to do is rock that conversation and convince that business to extend an offer.
In the course of that interview, you'll probably be asked if you have any questions -- and you should most definitely come in with a few. That said, there are certain things you should avoid asking in an interview if you want to increase your chances of getting hired. Here are a few questions to stay away from.

1. What does the job pay?It's natural to want to know what a job pays before getting too excited about it. But a job interview isn't the forum for that question. It's generally considered inappropriate to bring up salary until an actual offer is presented to you, so bite your tongue and hold off on inquiring about money. Along these lines, don't press for details on employee benefits before an offer is made. Asking about health insurance and 401(k) matches means getting way ahead of yourself, which might easily turn your interviewer off.
