What do you know...
- I almost always will ask as my second to last question -"What do you know about our company" and wait to see how much homework they've done. I worked for Dow Jones-Wall Street Journal and learned a lot about research while there and have used that to my own strategic advantage over the years. If someone hasn't bothered to do their howmework for an interview that says something to me about what kind of employee they might be.

Interview question
- How do you get along with people? Who are the people that you might have hard time working with?
- —Guest Mia
past boss challenges
- I like to ask, "tell me about a situation where you had a supervisor with a management style you did not like, and how you dealt with it." You learn a lot about their problem solving & people skills, and you also see whether they give in to the temptation to really badmouth a former supervisor. I lead in with the same question about positive traits but the negative one is where I really learn something about them.
