EP #286 Ask these questions in your next interview.
Interviewing for a new role is hard.
Don’t make it harder than it needs to be to stand out. A lot of interview advice is all about preparing great answers.
I’m not opposed to having an idea of how you want to respond to things but there is something that is more important.
It’s the questions you ask. Make no mistake that your questions don’t just seek information, they give it to.
What you ask and the way you ask it says a lot about yourself and shares something unique with and interviewer.
This topic is important when seeking and building generous workplace culture. Listen in and tell me what you think about these questions.
🎄Merry Christmas. Have a generous rest of your week. 😀
