People often forget that in any job search, you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. That means that no matter what your level of desperation is, always keep in mind that you still have the power of choice during your interview and search process. That means that you should feel empowered to ask questions and not just the basic fundamentals like salary and benefits. You should feel entitled to ask your interviewer about their experience at the company, what their concerns are, what consistent problems get brought up to management, and how management addresses those problems. Furthermore, when you find yourself asking those questions, be sure to not just pay attention to whatever potential stock answer you're receiving. Pay attention to body language and hesitations. Pay attention to any element of surprise or confusion they might be exhibiting. It's all important and useful as you make your own decisions.
