This is also key for us to see that you are interested in the challenges that you would be facing and how you can become a part of creating the solutions. Everything you learn here will help you within the next stage of the process.

“If I was to be hired, that is expected of me within the first 30 – 60 days?”

This question shows us that you understand that your productivity does have to count towards the teamwork within a certain time frame and that you know that you want to meet their expectations as you should be.

“Are there currently any measures in place from the company, such as, continuous training to improve productivity and growth?”

“What does success look like when you are working as an employee here?”

This question will hear more than what is needed for you to stand out if you were to be hired! Also, if they were to move on to another stage, the answer you are given might be a good hint as to what you need to do to position yourself better within the company.

“What does your life outside of work look like?”

Interviews generally like this question because it feeds into their ego! Let’s face it, people like to talk about themselves! This gives them the opportunity toto talk about themselves and brag about other things that they do outside of work. Hint: Whatever they tell you, show some enthusiasm!
