Great interview questions
My new book Ladders 2018 Interviews Guide hit #1 on Amazon’s Careers chart with its release last week. It’s a quick 90-minute read to give you the essentials you need if you’re thinking about moving up in this terrific economy in 2018…
I share the 49 questions interviewers may ask of you, along with how great performers answers, such as:
- “Are your peers political? How have you managed office politics?”
- “Are you a hands-off or hands-on manager? How effective are your methods for delegating, following up, and assessing performance on assignments made to your team? “
- “How have you helped set realistic deadlines? How do you manage unrealistic deadlines imposed on you?”
- “Describe for me a policy you don’t agree with at your current role. How did you ensure compliance?”
And I share 25 questions you can ask your interviews about the company and the role, such as:
- “What’s one thing that’s key to this company’s success that somebody from outside the company wouldn’t know about?”
- “What does success for this group / team / company look like in one year? In five years?”
- “What are your group’s best and worst working relationships with other groups in the company? What are the pain points you have to deal with day-to-day?”
I also cover:
- How to structure your interview around their three key needs for the role.
- Why are employers hiring in 2018?
- What is behavioral interviewing and why is it becoming the standard interview format for corporate employers?
We’ll get great results for you in about 90 minutes — your time is valuable so I’ve only made room for the most important stuff.
