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:
1. What is the biggest challenge facing the team today?
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.
2. What does greatness look like in this role?
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.
3. What has your career looked like at this company?
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.
4. Why did the last person who held this job leave their role?
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.
