- Job specifics and expectations : * What does a typical day or week look like in this role?
* What are the most immediate projects that need to be addressed?
* What are your expectations for me in this role?
* What's the most important thing I should accomplish in the first 30 days?
- Performance appraisals and development : * How does the company handle performance appraisals?
* What opportunities or challenges facing the department/company?

- Company-specific projects or campaigns : * Can you tell me about any company-specific projects or campaigns I should be aware of?
- Next steps and timing : * What are the next steps in the interview process?
* When can I expect to hear back from you?
