You can immediately tell them how you'll help solve the problem.
Or, take their response with you and send them a follow-up email later with your solution.
My last thread on interviews talked about KILLER questions to ask.
But, I only gave you a few.
Here are 14 GOLDEN interview questions that will give you an advantage:
You can immediately tell them how you'll help solve the problem.
Or, take their response with you and send them a follow-up email later with your solution.
This will give you insight into their expectations.
Also
Use their response and talk about how you've done things in the past that aligns with their definition of greatness.
This accomplishes 2 things -
- You'll see what career progression/opportunity looks like at the company.
AND
- You'll get them to talk about themselves. Dale Carnegie taught us that this will make you more memorable.
I know, this one is pretty direct and slightly uncomfortable.
I would only ask this if you sense a bad work environment.
Their answer will be very telling.
Along the same lines as the last one - If it feels like they expect you to work crazy hours, ask this question.
Some people don't mind 60-hour work weeks.
I refuse to work more than 45, personally.
Family comes first.
By asking this, you're showing a desire to get to work,
AND
You understand what big projects are in flight right now.
After they answer, you can tell them how you've completed similar projects in the past.
If you feel you lack the skills to succeed in the role, you'll need to ask this question.
Even if you have the skills, learning their tools, procedures, etc. will require training.
If they don't have a clear plan, it's a red flag.
I love this question because it tells you EXACTLY what to focus on when you start the job.
They should be able to tell you 3-5 metrics they'll be measuring.
Remember them and make these your top priority when you start the job.
This can be illuminating in 2 ways-
1/If they go on and on about things they love, you'll know it's a great place to be.
2/If they can't answer or struggle to find one thing to say, you probably want to run.
This will tell you what the culture is like and what problems they encounter often.
If you're able to help the company overcome the challenge, now is the time to talk about it!
This will tell you if there's a clear, shared vision for the company.
The interviewer should know what's next for the company and be excited about it.
If they can't answer, RED FLAG.
This is another important one that tells you if this is a good place to work.
If they don't focus on culture, it will be obvious.
Look for team-building, appreciation, work-life balance, and other great benefits.
Remote work has transformed the workplace.
If remote work is important to you, ASK THIS QUESTION.
I look for at least 3 days remote and 2 on-site.
Tell them what you're looking for and confirm it'll work for them.
This is another direct, potentially uncomfortable one.
Maybe they misunderstood one of your answers.
You can clear up their concerns right away if you ask this question at the end of the interview.
You should pick 2-3 to ask at the end of your interview based on what you need from them.
Pick at least 1 to help you prepare for a 2nd interview.
Pick 1-2 to find out more about the company/culture.
Help me get it in front of more people.

Have a great day!
