Most candidates fumble the interview in the last 10 minutes…
…by not asking thoughtful questions. This is a red flag 🚩🚩🚩
Why should you come prepared with questions?
Shows you researched and care about the company and position.
Gives the interviewer additional insight into the breadth and depth of your mental models.
Shows you are not afraid to propose new ideas or respectfully challenge status quo / current ways of working.
If your question builds on an earlier topic / conversation, it shows you listen attentively and are responsive.
Ends the interview on a good conversational note with potential follow-up. For example, the interviewer may comment “that is a very interesting idea, I would love to hear more about how you would set this up, here’s my email.”
In other words, asking questions is one of the few controllable inputs candidates have in the interview process. Take advantage of this.
Here are questions to consider:
What's the most exciting project you've worked on recently?
How would your team describe their relationships with one another at work?
How do you measure success on your team?
What slows your team down the most and prevents you from hitting your goals?
What is a common mistake new hires make, and how would you recommend avoiding that mistake?
If I joined the team, what would be my top 2 priorities for the first 30 and 60 days?
Come prepared. It shows.
