At the end of an interview, there's always [music] that moment where they say, "Do you have any questions for us?" And what I've seen sitting on the other side of the table is people [music] either ask questions they don't really have because they feel like they're supposed to, or they say, "No, I don't have any questions." [music] And it's just a missed opportunity.
And so this one, I have to give credit to my co-founder. He came up with, and this is one of the things that I did [music] not anticipate, I got the most positive responses, like, "I got the job because of this question," type of the thing. And the question [music] is, "Okay, so let's say that this interview went really well and a year from now I got the job, and you're looking back, what would I have had to have done in order for you [music] to feel like it was a good decision? Like, what things will I have had to have done in that, in that role?"
And so typically, the person goes, "I like that. That's a [music] really good question." And it does a handful of things. One, you've gotten them to imagine the interview going really well and them hiring you, right? And then second, they're going to lay out for you exactly what you need to do [music] in the role to excel. And that is something that every boss wants. It's like, "I want you interested in knowing [music] what I need from you in order to do a good job."
