A question I like to ask is: "You've seen my resume', what new things do you think I can learn here?"
I genuinely want to know this but I discovered a side benefit: the interviewer often starts trying to sell you on the company, flipping the dynamic i.e. you're not chasing them, they're chasing you.
- hinkley 7y agoI kinda miss the Wild West days, when nobody had much idea how to interview and we were all winging it. I got to interview myself a few times. People like it when they get to talk about themselves, but you also get to run through your values in question form and the clever will pick up on this. Oh this guy cares about <practice that is interesting but not ubiquitous>. The reverse does not work out. Just because they ask you a bunch of questions about a topic doesn’t mean they are good at caring about that topic. Found that out with testing a couple times, and I one memorable case not until well after I accepted.
