Job Advice!

I am to ring later, and wondered what the best sorts of questions are to ask regarding a possible job. The post applied for is an Information Analyst. However as an analyst anyway most job descriptions are vague and pretty similar, what specific questions could be asked to find out a little more about the daily duties and the needs of the role, as I think having the knowledge would help if I get to the interview stage.

You could ask if your role relates to a team, or is it stand alone. If it is a team, how many people and where is this position in relation to others
Who would you be reporting into?
Who would be getting your Analysis reports
What software will you be using
Day to day responsibilities -
Will you have any targets to meet? if so, what
Will you be managing your own workload or will someone else be giving you work to do.

Erm... I will have a think and see if I can think of any others

If you have the time, Jobsite have a career advice section, if you answer some questions, they'll give you tips on what questions to ask at a job interview.

I remember doing it a couple of years ago and found it useful.
