How financially sound is this company? What projects and assignments will I be working on? What happened to the person that held this position before? Was he promoted or fired?

3. What are the repsonsibilities of the financial assistant? what is the criteria for awarding a scholarship? how are the scholarhsips funded? Private donations? Endowment funds? Corporate donations? When are the applications reviewed? what is the process? When are the applicants notified?
4. My husband has had to hire a lot of people in his working life and the question he tells our kids to ask at the end of the interview is: After all that I have told you - would do you need to know to know that will convince you that I am right for this job? Or - that you are as convinced as I am that I am right for the job? GOOD LUCK from a fellow Wisconsinite!
