10 Questions to Ask The Interviewer In Your Job Interview (Interview Prep Tips)

[@shawnawan8716]

Hey man - just wanted to say thank you. Truly! I went from applying to 10 jobs a week and getting zero interviews over a 3 month period. Then, after watching a couple hours of your vids, my resume has gotten raving reviews, I have gotten 7 interviews, and am now in the final rounds of 4 of them; each paying between $140k to $200k. The biggest difference being that one is for director of finance for a fortune 10 firm and the others are directors for start-up/private equity firms. Really, you have made that big of a difference. From writing a stellar resume and preparing for an interview to presenting like an executive and sending thank you emails, recruiters have literally told that these made me stand as a candidate. Appreciate all that you do!

[@ryannmahajan698]

Is presenting like an executive a skill he teaches as well? Or is it more cos you're a director?

1. Why is this position open? 2. What is your vision for this role? (Ask it early on for pro-tips.) 3. What's this department's biggest weakness? 4. How do you see this role contributing to solve/improve upon these weaknesses and strengths? 5. How do you measure success in the first 30/60/90 days? (Make sure there are easonable expectations.) 6. What is it about [a previously successful person] that made them successful in this role? (Pro-tips.) 7. What is the long-term vision for this role? (Avoid a dead-end position.) 8. What is your leadership style? (Check your boss.) OR If I were to ask some of your directors and employees how they would describe you as a leader, what do you think they would say? (Is the manager self-aware?) 9. What is the strategy of your organization for longevity and stability of the mission? (Know the company's competitors.) 10. If you have one concern about the department or company that keeps you up at night? (A look behind the scenes.) For the people. For the animate interbeings. ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾✊🏻

[@hymnhallelujahtuhaven6975]

I asked the interviewer the "how do you measure success in the first 30/60/90 days" question, and he was visibly upset at the question. Proceeded to answer in the first 30 days you should be able to do your job because i gave you the job just paraphrasing here.. he short answered at 60 days you should be efficient able to do everything from this to that. Didn't really have a clear indication at this point of "how he measured success", and so I asked for some clarification on it. briefly reiterated the same message pretty much and it was at that point I was pretty sure I wouldn't be hired there. I had a good deal of experience in the field i was applying with them as well but only got 2 questions in and he just had the attitude of "you should be grateful I'm even interviewing you" or something like it.

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

Looks like the question was quite effective then. You learned everything you need to know about them.

[@pey7777]

My favorite question to ask is one I got from Kevin O'leary: "Is there anything you can recommend that I could start doing now to be as prepared as possible to succeed in this position?"

[@bethiciaprasek9415]

@@raulsantandertirado4400 I had an interview like that once when I desperately needed a job. Even though I wanted the job, I knew there were unreasonable expectations regarding the challenges. I spent much of the interview trying to tell them I knew I didn't have the experience to achieve what they expected. "No worries, we'll provide needed technical help." They called me for a second interview, but by that time I had another job. They couldn't find a person to fill the position who they were satisfied with so one of the people who interviewed me stepped into the position. Not only did he discover how difficult the task was, but he went to the company I had been hired at in order to get training. I later worked for him at the original company, but expectations were more reasonable by then. 😀 I asked him later if he remembered interviewing me the first time. "Yes. You were unforgettable."

[@ryanrester]

One of my favorites is to ask what the process is for requisitioning office supplies. Just the immediate reflex reaction to that question usually tells me if it’s a place I want to be or not. I’ve had people start the answer off with an annoyed sigh, and that was practically the end of the interview as far as I was concerned.

[@izamalcadosa2951]

I had an interview on 09/08/2022 and I did everything Bryan said to do and I asked 4 out of these 10 questions. The young female interviewer couldn't answer any of my questions in a satisfactory manner and I received a rejection letter on 09/12/2022. I guess they didn't like my probing questions because I might find out some skeletons within that company.

[@sherriianiro747]

I had the same situation without the letter, but I like the fact these questions do weed out problems ahead of time so that you know what you would be getting yourself into. A good company is more than willing to engage information about themselves.

[@Sirie7206]

I asked some of these questions today and it really puts them on the spot. The interview is just as much yours as theirs.

[@danielfred16]

Recently had an interview in which i believe candidates from within had the biggest chance of getting the job. I simply asked these questions and the hiring personnel thought i was the most involved and active candidate and selected me for the position and with the 20% pay raise (from what I'm currently making) that i asked for no need to negotiate. Thanks for helping me become a much better interviewer.

Interviewee*

[@HungerSTR1KE]

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you. I did a TON of research about this job I applied for. I over-researched it. But I watched your video and jotted down some super smart questions. I was only able to use 4 of them in the interview because we only had 30 minutes and the hiring manager chewed up a lot of the time questioning me. But the 4 I did get to ask really signaled her that I did my research on her, the job, the market, and the industry. At the end she thanked me for how well I'd prepared and how well I'd thought out my questions. I don't think I've ever had a hiring manager thank me for doing my research. It left me with a great feeling that she respects me. We'll see if I progress to the next round (next week). At a minimum I feel seen, respected and fully considered and that's all I can ask.

[@JUMALATION1]

A question that gets employers flustered is "describe a typical workday". (This applies best to office jobs, for more practical jobs it is of course a bit more clear.) Two years ago I asked this question during an interview and I was able to base the rest of my responses on this. I got that job. (I'm currently unemployed again but that is not my fault, it was a contract job 😅)

[@spunkyb5249]

I always get a positive response when I ask the hiring manager about what my first year will be like. What are their expectations for my first year? What are my objectives? These aren't fluff questions, and it's nice to know this information before you start working, so you can focus on being successful and deliver the expected goods. Your first yearly review won't end up being a surprise.

[@hansfritzmiller1846]

I felt more comfortable about some of these questions once you pointed out that I could interject my questions during the interview, and not necessarily wait until I was asked if I had any questions.

[@lynnszen]

Sometimes, you are vetted by an HR person who can only answer some of these questions. Thank you for putting these questions out for others to use. As a Senior software developer, I have about the same number of questions to ask the hiring manager during the interviewing process.

Perfect! Congrats on the new position!

[@Bolpat]

To encourage questions from the potentially new employee, I'd call it “hiring dialogue” instead of “hiring interview” because for most people, an interview has clear roles for who's asking and who's answering.

[@alanpeterson6768]

I am a retired hiring manager. You provide excellent advice to job candidates, though I am concerned about one question that you suggest. If tell you, or you otherwise know, that the previous person was terminated, don't ask me why. For legal and liability reasons, I won't answer the question and I will be uncomfortable that you put me in that spot. How that person failed is not relevant. Let's talk about how you can succeed.

[@asadb1990]

can always ask why you are hiring? now how you answer is up to you. many will tell a simple answer like the current guy is leaving or left, was not a good fit (could be a red flag that employer has unrealistic expectations), or "part ways".

[@spannerturnerMWO]

In a recent interview, I asked the hiring Manager if he truly knew what each of his service engineers' Job related strengths and weakenesses were. To be fair, he admitted that he did not, but that he recognized last year that that was a weakness on his part and was working to rectify it.

[@joalfuth418]

I'm pretty sure asking what their biggest weakness was cost me a job opportunity. They answered the question but were very flustered by it and stumbled over their words a lot.

[@StewsReplay]

IF they don't want to tell you their weaknesses, then you don't want to be working for them. They asked you, you should know theirs as wel.

[@ginnyrust6874]

[@joem.7621]

I like asking something about the products or services the company produces. It shows you did your research and are really interested. I'd go easy on questions revealing your ambitions to quickly move up from the position. It won't be viewed favorably. Instead show genuine interest in what the company is actually producing and how you can contribute to that in the role.

[@SpaceCadete101]

You are so brave in your ability to wrangle the job market with confidence.

[@John_Fx]

As a hiring manager it is almost worse when the candidate asks cliched questions they probably googled so they'd know what to ask. The whole point of asking questions is that you show you were listening to them describing the job and are interested in more details about the job. I'm mostly trying to gauge if they really want the job by the questions. Also, I want to see what the candidate cares about. "Do you guys have a dedicated quality team?" is a good question for a programmer job.

[@FeuerhammerX]

A have to admit, a lot of your advice really came in handy recently. I was able to go into interviews with more confidence. Because of this, I was better prepared, and asked better questions, and asked them more naturally.

Thank you a million times over. 😭🙏🏾 And thank you to everyone who commented additional questions and tips: I'm honestly grateful.

I once asked the hiring manager in interview 1 whether the position was temporary or permanent. They said it was permanent. The next day in interview 2 I asked the same question to a recuriuter/HR employee. They said it was 6 months temporary and then permantent with the transistion being a "sure thing". Suffice to say, I declined to come to interview 3.

[@johnjohannesjuan]

@Andrew Evans That was not the issue. It is not really necessary from my POV. But to talk once to the future boss, once to HR and once to managment is not over the top for the whole interviewing process. My issue was actually about their conflicting responses to the same question.

[@davidjiang9641]

If I could give multiple likes for the video, I would. Thanks for the list of useful insights on what questions I should ask during interviews.

[@HoolieUK]

Genuinely impressed with these videos Brian. Similar experience to you though in Europe and cracking advice to candidates. Interviews really are a 2 way conversation. Disappointing to see some of the comments people are making reflecting on their experiences but in many situations I would say they have probably dodged a bullet, still surprises me that so many firms can't recruit properly in 2021. I would also advise taking notes in with you and making notes in the interview. Interviews can be nerve wracking and I've found this always helps ensure you cover off your own questions but also helps you better reflect on the firm post interview. Carry on the great work Brian!

[@CaesarInVa]

I always try to get ahold of the company's financial statements like the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Statement of Owners Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows, even though I'm an IT guy (this is assuming that the company is publicly-traded, which means that its financials are in the public domain and are on record with the SEC. If the company isn't publicly-traded, I ask for a copy of their prospectus or I review the info on their website before the interview, if available). By having an understanding of the company's financial situation, I'm in a much better position to figure out the longevity of the company, its continued viability as a source of economic wealth and my prospects for advancement. At one interview, I mentioned that I was unable to obtain any of the company's financial information and asked if I could see a copy of their prospectus for review later. The temperature in the room dropped appreciably. I received a call from the head-hunter who had scoped-out the job for me and she said that they didn't want to hire me because I asked "inappropriate questions". I told her that their reaction was not only disproportionate to the perceived offense but highly illuminating as to the organization's mindset. Frankly, I'm glad I asked the question. I would rather ask the question and not get the job than NOT ask the question and end up unemployed a short time later because the business was operated by assholes who ran the company into the ground.

[@llddau]

Can you do a video about what to say or not when going for a job that isn’t full-time? For instance things are different when you actually do have to and should find out what the hours are you’d be expected to work. And there is not a salary as such, so you must find out the hourly rate. Also things like when a receptionist job advertised includes wanting you to drive and have payroll and cleaning experience, I think it’s fair to ask what the driving would be for, (when a receptionist works at a desk, inside unless they are giving you duties which are really suitable for a PA), what type of cleaning is expected as in would it be keeping the office/board room/ waiting room tidy, or do they want you to clean toilets and kitchens, and also knowing that a payroll officer is a whole other job, just like PA and cleaner.

[@fgcapps72]

Lesson learned: if they don’t mention benefits, make sure You do before signing on. I signed as a seasonal employee for seasonal bonuses after being told that I would be rehired on as a permanent employee after season, but it was only mentioned after I signed on that only permanent employees are eligible for medical insurance and they won’t consider time invested as a seasonal employee towards the 1500hrs to be eligible for medical.

[@atomiccritter6492]

I think that's a good question

[@kj2w]

As a software developer, if I'm allowed to talk to the other developers I'll be working with, I like to ask them 'Can you tell me the CPU, RAM, and HD type the company has provided you to complete your role'. To me, this is a good indication of how they value their devs (aka developers). The machines don't have to bleeding 'edge' but if the job is asking for something like 'working with containers' and the devs are only allowed to use 8-16 Gb of RAM, then to me, tthat'sa red flag. Another thing I ask is 'Has it been difficult in finding quality candidates to interview?' If the answer is 'yes', I always follow up with 'With such a high demand for qualified candidates, how do you retain the ones that have?' Only once was I met with a 'No we don't have an issue finding quality candidates to interview'.

[@DrasticSkuba]

If I genuinely don't have any questions, it's usually because they interviewer did a good job at covering points. Would it be beneficial to say what you were going to ask, but acknowledge that they already covered it?

[@Darkxellmc]

It'll always be better than staying silent, that's for sure... But, why do you not have questions to ask? There's time for it, so just use it to discuss about the company's vision, the technologies they are using, and the external factors affecting the work. The "what would you consider a weak point in the organisation?" question is especially great, since it allows you to both understand the company better and presents you as a needed asset to fix this weak point. If you are applying to a big company, there are at least 2 things (just my personal experience, there's way more)you should know from an interview: - Are the core values advertised real, or just corporate marketing? (you obviously can't ask this directly, you need to poke around to see if they hold) - Does the person in from of you have a good understanding of what you'll do? If there's none of your future team members in the room, that's odd. If there's only an HR person that has no clue what you'll actually do, that's a big red flag. If you are applying to a startup, you'll want to be more engaged with the startup's vision, and make sure you're joining a team that doesn't consiuder you as an expendable resource (this is very hard, if not delusional). Obviously, there's a ton of questions to ask during the interview process to make sure this isn't the case. Good luck finding a job you love!

[@rogertan5534]

In a nutshell: Any question they ask you is doubly as relevant when you ask it back of them.

What if you have gone through 4-5 interviews already and have asked all sorts of questions, but in that final interview you just don't have anything else to ask?? This has happened to me a couple of times and did not end very well.

[@shannonr.4315]

Just a suggestion, maybe hold some questions "in reserve"? Maybe keep the specific job-related questions to the earlier interviews, and bring the company culture/leadership style questions for the later interviews? Maybe pick 3 solid-but-not-critical questions that you'd only ask in a final interview?

[@jamesgg9950]

Say "I asked '' and they said ''. What would you emphasize or add to that or are you two very much on the same page?"

[@HeHateMe1]

One I always like asking is "what is your favorite part about working for the company". You can ask it to every person along the process, see how excited or hesitant they get, and several have told me "that was a good question, nobody has ever actually asked anything like that". How true that is who knows though lol.

@@HeHateMe1 true, but as you said, body language can say more than the words they speak.

after 2 interviews if a decision hasn't been made, im out.

[@OndrejHolecek]

When I'm exhausted after 5 hours of technical interviews and the interviewer ask me like other 4 interviewers before him, if I have a question, I invented an univesal question for that case, "what will you do today?"

I have been out of work for 6+ months. I just want to get hired and start looking in a new months if the place sucks. Short term, get hired. Long term stable company.

[@dugroz]

What about jobs that are non-unique? (Like a claim manager, where 200+ people have the exact same job) most of these Q's don't seem to apply. IE, your direct boss may not be assigned until after you're hired. The role wasn't created for you.

These are excellent questions!
