1. Why is this position available? It is imperative to recognize if the position is new or if it already existed. Why did the previous person leave? However, if it is a new position, are you going to have some input on how to create the position?
2. Who are you here? Finding out who the interviewer is and how long they have been with the company will give you a great clue on the culture of the company. If they are having troubles offering answers, this might give a red flag for you!
3. What is your biggest problem right now? This is showing the company that you are already thinking of how you are able to contribute. Showing you are invloved already is allowing the hiring person to already see you in the position. Remember, visualization is everything.
4. Where are you in the hiring process? This merely shows the company you are geniunely interested in the job all the while providing the needed information you require.
5. Who's in charge? Just mentioning this explains to the company that you are ambitious and not merely a clock puncher.
