Best advice I ever got was to treat job interviews as 2-way. Ask them why the position in empty. Why did the last person that had your position leave?
Not to be outright combative, but the interview should be so both the company and you can get s feel for each other.
I miss when I would wake up and check the news and nothing particularly crazy was going on. Like you would click on the TV and they are talking about a zoo that recently got a baby giraffe or something.
