Podcast Ep 19: ‘9 Smart Questions to Give You A Competitive Edge at Your Next Interview’

Welcome to Her Ambitious Career, the personal branding and success podcast for corporate women who want to land dream opportunities in their careers and get that recognition they so deserve.

In Episode 19, ‘9 Smart Questions to Give You a Competitive Edge at Your Next Interview’ I am sharing some strategic questions you should be asking to help you find out more about the culture and leadership of your potential new employer… whilst also giving you the opportunity to showcase how you think.

In this episode I share the exact scripts you can use to ask these questions, when to ask them and how to be totally prepared!

Highlights of the episode:

• We explore how to use smart questions to find out more about the role, how long the position has been open and what the interviewer is really looking for in a candidate
• We chat about the importance of organisational culture and how its values are actually brought to life through employees’ behaviours
• I share 9 of the best questions to ask so make sure you have a notebook handy for this one!

Episode Quotes:

“By asking smart questions, you get to understand the business, the problems it needs to solve and get clear on whether or not it will be able to offer you the next stretching career opportunity that you’re looking for. And asking your own questions will also demonstrate certain skills to the interviewer, such as critical thinking and your ability to think strategically about your career.” (Rebecca Allen, Career Success Coach and host of Her Ambitious Career podcast)
