      I like to ask (after all the technical stuff) "what attracted you to this company?" Or "what are some of your hobbies etc". My goal is to see whether they have the kind of work life balance I'm hoping to have and see if the things that attracted them to the company are still true now that they're in the role.

    Thank you SO much for sharing these tips! I asked a HESITATION question during my interview and the hiring manager shared how brave and bold she thought it was to ask for feedback during an interview. It also kept me from doing what I have always done in the past after an interview, walking away wondering, "What did they think?" I left the interview knowing exactly what they thought AND I was able to craft my thank you message addressing the hesitations. It proved to be effective because I GOT THE JOB!!! Thank you!

      The "tell me about a time" questions make me want to get up and leave.
      Not being on heroin or in and out of jail should be enough to alleviate concerns. You're already there because they thought you were at least somewhat qualified, so why are they wasting time with that? Only technical, job related questions should be asked.

    I don't love the hesitation question at the end. As someone who's been the one interviewing before, we're told we can't give any indication one way or the other as to what we think about the candidate we're interviewing. This puts HR in a really bad mood if the candidate doesn't end up getting the job and were told they stood out in the inrterview process. As a person who's also been interviewed, I just accept that if a company doesn't want to hire me, it's their loss and I gave it my best shot. I no longer go into interviews feeling desperate for the job even if I am. If you're too eager, it's a turn off as well because we all know interviews don't always weed out bad employees/employers and can be pretentious. Smile, be professional, be truthful and transparent, and I have found that most interviewers appreciate not having to dance around to make a decision on whether they like you or not. Also keep in mind that YOU are also interviewing them. I don't hide the fact that I'm also looking to see if the employer is a good fit for me.

    I got the job! Thank you so much. The interviewer decided to end my interview in just 15 minutes as I failed to answer one of the technical questions. When they asked if I had any questions, I asked the first question, "what do you love about your job?". They were surprised and said no one asked them this before. They excitedly answered my question and I tried to blend in and give my own opinions and voila!! The interview was dragged for 1 hour and I got the job!!
    So please ask these questions and always be energetic and motivated. I'm wishing the best of luck to everyone out there.

    I had few interviews last week and this week with different companies. I asked them cultural, role-specific and hesitation questions but I still got rejected. But I will ask the questions you mentioned in the video. Nevertheless, I was looking for the questions in the comments, here's for anyone that's doing the same.
    Questions to ask the interviewers: (that's mentioned in the video)
    Cultural based:
    What is your favorite part about working here in this organization
    Do you love most about your job?
    What makes people stay with this organization?
    What are the biggest challenges or opportunities that this organization or department is facing in the next 6 months to a year
    How would you describe the work environment here?
    Role-specific:
    Can you tell me about a typical day or week looks like in this position?
    What do you want the person this in position to accomplish in their first 30,60 and 90 days ?
    What challenges or opportunities do you foresee this position taking on in the next 6 months ?
    How will my performance will be measured in this position?
    What are the next steps in the interview process?
    Hesitation:
    Based on what we talked about today is there anything that is causing you any hesitation about my fit for this position?
    How do I compare to other candidate that you interview for this role?
    Do you have any hesitations about my qualifications?
    Is there anything I can clarify for you?
    Have I answered all of the questions that you have for me ?

    This is definitely helpful. I remember many years ago when I was interviewing, I was about to leave after asking a few simple questions, but then I turned around and asked the man, *"What do you NEED from your associate that the last person in this position didn't give you?"* That stopped him dead in his tracks. I remember he looked shocked and then said no one had ever asked him a question like that before. He then taught me two things with his answer that I never forgot.
    *1)* Most important are *the three A's: Amiability, Availability, Ability.* He said being a nice person to be around, and Actually Being There (not taking off all the time) was more crucial to him than the skill level.
    *2)* He said, *"I would rather you ask 100 questions up front than to wait and say you didn't understand the case or project."* Be proactive and make sure you know what is expected of you up front (which is why this brilliant video just taught us!!! 🤗), rather than make excuses later.

    I searched but didn't see anyone ask..... after asking the hesitation question- if they give you a reason why they are hesitating, for example maybe they say "the only thing I may be concerned about is your lack of experience in this specific role".... are you then supposed to explain why that won't be a problem? Or should you just receive the feedback. My instinct would be to say something like, "What I lack in experience I make up for in determination and grit!", but I don't want to sound like I am arguing......
    Thank you for the helpful videos!

    • @shaye5095
      @shaye5095 Před 2 měsíci +14

      Hi -- career coach, here! 👋 My advice is to not "rebut" the interviewer immediately, but instead respond with another question -- one that is action-orientated. So, to use your example from above, one possible answer might be, "are there any particular duties that you're concerned about my lack of experience in this industry being a problem? I'd love to get specific and see if I can provide any additional context or clarity for you". The secret is: it's not really about 'remedying' any hesitation ... it's about sharing in it. If they say something like, "yes, the inventory management system we use is complex and prone to human error" you could then come back with "gotcha, yeah, I could see how that might make you nervous. Well, I can't speak to that particular system, but I can say generally that I'm a quick study when it comes to digital interfaces and generally have a 'measure twice, cut once' approach to things.
      (Let's hope you're quick on your feet in that moment, but I think you get the gist).

    I was told that years ago after I interviewed with my potential boss's boss. I now always carry questions to ask a the end that I make a point not to used during the rest of the interview. I personally don't understand why I need to ask more questions after I have asked a million questions already. But I do really like that last example question that you gave. It is perfect for wrapping up the interview and it is a question that would be out of place except at the end of an interview. Thanks, I will never have to worry about not having a question at the end of an interview.

    Hi Abby! I had a job interview yesterday for a school nurse position and at the end of the interview, when they asked if I had any questions for them, I asked "What is the culture like here?" The assistant superintendent turned to the principal and said: "Oooo...good question!" Then I asked what their favorite part was about working for that district was and he turned to her again with a big smile and said "Wow!" "Great question!" Definitely made it a good experience and lightened the atmosphere.

      I also want to know if you got the job! Hope you did, sounds like a positive experience.
      Personally I'm a but surprised at their (the interviewers) seeming surprise at the good (& necessary!) questions you asked them. For me (having experienced terribly bad work environments and culture in the medical field for 24 years) it's a stressful thing to me to take on new jobs, new roles, new places.. so I ALWAYS want to find out as early as I can what the work/office culture is like to know what I'm in for & whether it's really a good fit for me or potential regret.
      Sadly, other than "busy" & "fast paced" (which are code for "dysfunctional"), they're never really truthfully forthcoming.

By the end of my interview, they had a closing that answered my main questions, so when they asked if I had questions, I restated their information that I had learned about orientation times, training, and advancement opportunities. I decided to go for the hesitation question and it went well! I learned how many others were interviewing for the position and where I stood. It was very helpful and I feel like I have a great chance! I'll know in a week!! Thanks!!

    I remember applying for an airline company and got to third and final round. I think I messed up with the question about whether I had a disagreement with a coworker. I think honesty is not the best policy 😅. Well one of their questions was how many planes they've got. I didn't do any research on that so I just guessed. And at the end of the interview, I couldn't remember what questions I asked them, however, one question that I asked still stuck to this day. I asked them how many planes they have and they all laughed and just said I'll leave that for you to search it up 😂😂😂. Pretty sure they didn't know either. I always try to tell myself I didn't get the job because of that question, but I think it was more the behavioral question about a disagreement with a worker that might have failed me in my interview. 😅

    I just got my job offer this afternoon after consulting this video a few weeks ago during the interview process. One bonus question you could ask during your interview that might not apply to all jobs, but in my interview ended up being a great jumping off point to discuss in depth the future of the business. I basically asked: “this may be a silly question, but what potential role if any do you foresee AI (artificial intelligence) playing for the company over the next 10+ years?”
    It turns out it was NOT a silly question, and 3 of the hiring managers present at the interview had thoughts, and it was actually something they have given a ton of thought to. Which made me feel like it was a bit of a “flex” since they probably don’t get that question on most interviews, and it ended up with them doing a lot of talking and building great rapport.
    Thanks again! Great video.

That question reduced so much anxiety cause I didn’t just end the interview & have to sit in limbo for days on end wondering if it went well (tbh I don’t really have the experience for the job, so I do think my answers as well as the ending interview questions helped a lot!).

    4:16 an AMAZING question to ask. If I were an interviewer this question from a candidate would blow me away! It means they have come to work and learn! I am taking this one down for my interview tomorrow

    I had my first band 6 junior sister interview yesterday. I asked some of these questions. When they called me back they offered me the job and said they were really impressed by the questions asked at the end. 🎉 So whatever you do - make-sure you ask these questions. And good luck everyone ❤

      @@naty1012 Not 100% - most of these questions (minus the "hard/hesitation" questions) are truly to get to know the role and the organization (including the people interviewing you) better. They demonstrate interest and enthusiasm in a potential role/organization, which is important. The hard/hesitation questions require a little more courage, bravery, and risk, but they tend to have big payoffs because the interviewers are impressed with people's willingness (and courage) to request feedback in real-time!
