Stand out in your next interview. Ask the right questions❗ Never forget that interviews are a two-way street. It's important to use the interview to uncover whether the role, team, and company truly align with your goals and next step on your career path. Here are six questions you can ask at your next interview ⭐ “What does success look like in this role within the first 6 months?” This shows you’re already thinking about impact and performance, not just tasks. ⭐ “How does the team handle challenges or setbacks?” Culture matters. This question reveals whether resilience and psychological safety are part of the DNA. ⭐ “How does the company support professional growth and learning?” Signals whether the employer invests in long-term development. ⭐ “What are the biggest challenges the team is currently facing?” Reveals how you might contribute and whether you’re ready for the realities of the role. ⭐ “Can you share an example of how feedback is given and received?” Feedback culture is the backbone of high-performing teams. This helps you gauge openness and trust. ⭐ “What excites you most about the company’s future?” This lets you hear directly from an employee. Enthusiasm (or lack of it) speaks volumes. What would you add ❓ Happy Friday ☺️
