Ask about job shadowing. A brief call/email/instant message along the lines of "hey, I think I might be interested in this job you posted, would you mind setting up an hour for me to sit with one of your associates to see what it's about and if I might be a good fit?" If they set up a session and it sucks, you can just politely bow out - "thanks for your time, I'll keep you in mind." Every company's culture is different, but most managers look favorably on people who take this route rather than just blindly apply.

This would be ideal if the job wasn't in a different state... Thanks for the advice!
