I too, re-read Rabbuk's post three or four times thinking "how is he trying to scam me of money?"
Had a phone interview. Never quite sure what to ask when they say "Do you have anything to ask us?" Stuck with asking about the timeline.
"You explained everything perfectly and answered any questions I would have had already" was my typical response.
Home on the couch feeling crappy and sorry for myself. Just watched Pitch Perfect for the first time.
Wow........!
Wow........!
I used to ask what they most liked about working at X company or what they thought would be the qualities of an ideal candidate. That last one sounds kinda like "tell me I'm so perfect for this!" but really if they start naming off attributes that you don't have or have but don't love to use.......can be a sign of it not being a great fit.
Not an interview expert, but I would sometimes ask what would make a candidate successful in the position.
I accidentally hit a home run one time when I was interviewing for a co-op position. With the co-ops, they didn't interview with the hiring manager, they interviewed with the Sr. Managers and Directors of the departments. Sitting there with these big wheels, I just asked "Hey, so, I'm just starting off on this path, you are well established and successful, so let me pick your brain...what choices/skills/attributes do you think most led to your success?" I was honestly just thinking of the opportunity to learn, but later on, by referring to their success and asking for their advice, I learned that I flattered the **** out of them, and it probably got me the job and helped me keep my job in a downsizing situation later on.
From the interviews I've conducted, I always thought "What do you enjoy most about the company?" was a decent question to ask if prompted. You may get a canned response (i.e. "I like the family atmosphere" or "I like that it challenges me") but if you can get the interviewer to talk openly, it could open the door so you can gauge their values. Then use that info to tweak an answer to suit what they may be looking for.
Good wow or, "Wow, that was bad!" Aside from the 2 puke scenes, it is one I like to watch if it is on.
Good wow...although today of all days I could have done without the double yak...
I love a capella music...wish "Sing Off" was still on.
Oops. Maybe she wants the V?
I really think all the girls on CF should have special tags that say FEMALE
