Asking questions...
If after an interview an associate says to call with any additional questions, what are some cogent questions that one could ask to demonstrate enthusiasm for the position? E.g. what are examples of good questions that associates would not construe as a waste of their time. If I call, I want to make a good impression.

The one I always ask...
What do you think are some of my shortcomings?
This lets you achieve the following:
1) Know that you're doing well in your interview (whether or not the interviewer likes what he/she sees)
2) Try to convince them to re-evaluate.
3) You know exactly the things you need to highlight in the next round of interviews.
Associates were my favorite
Associates were my favorite connections in the interview process, because they still deal with the analyst work, but have to have more of a "big picture" viewpoint also...
I'd ask how they chose their specific group, what they like/dislike about the day to day, their thoughts on an MBA...anything thats not "how much do you make" and seems relevant. Honestly, just "sound" enthusiastic, be CONFIDENT (make him or her want to sell the company to you, not vice versa), and make sure to smile (even though it's over the phone - this helps).
