Most people think interviews are just about answering questions correctly.  The truth is, if you ask questions during your interview it may increase your chances of getting the job.

How...?   Well, if you ask questions the employer will like that you have knowledge about the company and a high interest in the position.  This will make you more memorable than applicants that have no questions to ask.  So what kind of questions should you ask??

Ask why the position has become vacant.  Maybe someone was promoted or the company is expanding.  Remember, you are trying to see if this job is a good fit for you too.

Ask about the expectations of the person that holds this position and the goals they have for the new hire.  Try to find out what the goals of the business are, long and short term. 

Ask what the next steps are in the interview process.

It is usually best to have questions ready before you enter your interview.  That way after you are drained from answering all their questions you don't end up being the one to say "no, I think you covered everything"
