What Would Dad Say » Four Good Questions for Your Interviewer.

Wow. I think every job candidate should have these questions in mind, and try to glean this information during the interview process. But this “I-am-the-Alpha-Dog” aggressive strategy is not appropriate.

You could soften the questions, and simply ask:

1. What’s the rate of turnover in this group?

2. Do this team’s projects tend to go as originally planned, or is it common for priorities and deadlines to change?

3. What are the personality types of the others on the team; what motivates them?

This looks like you’re asking about the job and the coworkers (which you are), but it will also reveal a lot about the interviewer.

Interesting stuff, GL. What’s YOUR take on it. Do you think those are appropriate questions to ask?
