Ask about other job openings or future needs at the company that might be a better fit for your skills and experience. After all, many positions are unadvertised and you may uncover a hidden opportunity just by asking. And don't be shy. The company was interested enough to invite you in and you may find the manager opens up once he's no longer in interview mode.
