Before your interview, make sure you conduct research on the school and thoroughly review the job description for any clarification you may need on the position. Asking intelligent questions demonstrates to the interviewer your level of interest in their position.
Ask questions regarding workplace culture, traits they are looking for in the ideal candidate, and if there is anything not listed in the job description that they would like to share.
Typically, pay is not discussed during first interviews, so avoid asking any compensation related questions if this is an early stage interview.

"From what I understand this is a newly created position, so can you tell me how you identified the need and what types of duties may not be listed in the job description? I would love to further understand a day in the life of an attendance clerk with your school."

Rachelle's Feedback
Good start! When asking, 'What do you need from me' aim to be more specific. Are you speaking in terms of moving forward in the interview process? Or, are you referring to what they need to see from you offered the job?
