As an engineer I think this is best interpreted as a recommendation to ask a lot of questions when you are given the chance. Take it as an opportunity to demonstrate a greater understanding and care for the opportunity than just the scope of your role. Ask about culture, about challenges, competitive positioning in the marketplace etc.. I try to ask questions that demonstrate a lot of compassion for team dynamics and business objectives. It’s never led me astray.
- refurb 8y agoAs someone who has interviewed a lot of candidates, I would agree the Q&A is the best place to show this. Most of the stock questions are filters for people who can't do the job - was this person's answer reasonable? Where I've seen candidates shine is when they ask really good questions. Question that indicate they've put some thought into the role. When all I get is "How do you like working here?" or "What's the company culture?" it shows the person is either uninterested in the role or incapable of delivering something beyond "here's what you asked for boss".
