This is your moment. Your chance to shine. Your chance to stand out in an interview and make the interviewer sit up and listen. Don't sit like a rabbit in the headlights and ask about benefits or salary, show the interviewer what you're made of, show them you're a critical thinker. Show them you've given real thought to this interview before you showed up.
