what questions should I ask?
meeting with clients.... I love working with clients face to face )
And I have no problem telling them I'm interested in the job.

One last question: How do I answer the question of them checking my last reference? I know from past experience that my last job spoke bad about me to others when they called for references... illegal or not, he did it and no doubt will continue to do so. I would prefer they not contact my last employer. How do I answer no without raising an eyebrow?

Say this - there's a good one - how much face time would you have with potential clients? Why is the position open - did the last person who had it get promoted? How much upward promotability is there? What are the most important abilities for someone in this role -- then show how / why you have them with next week being a short one, how quickly do they anticipate filling the position and when might you know their decision?


Can you just say no, you don't want that particular reference contacted? Short and sweet answer? If you have other, strong references, you might not need that one. Good luck, will you let us know how it goes? Fingers, toes, and paws crossed and prayers too.

Best of luck Kim. Fingers and paws crossed here!

ES - what great tips. I've been out of the work force for several years caring for my parents but I know at some point I will return. I need to remember what you suggested.
