Interview Tips
1 min readQuestions worth asking at the end of an interview
Edwuma Team
Ask about the work in the first ninety days, the person you would report to, and how the team decides. Skip questions you can answer from the listing.
The last five minutes of an interview are not a test of how many questions you memorised. They show whether you understand the job well enough to do it.
Three questions that usually help
- What would a strong first ninety days look like in this role?
- Who would I work with every week, and who decides priorities?
- What is still unsettled about this hire: location, travel, or the tools the team is changing?
Questions to leave for later
Leave pay, leave days, and title negotiations until they are discussing an offer, unless they raise them. Leave questions whose answers are already in the listing. Asking those sounds like you did not read it.
Write their answers down the same day. When a second interviewer repeats a topic, you can show you were listening instead of starting from zero.
