INTERVIEW TIP OF THE MONTH
INTERVIEWY TIP OF THE MONTH

Mic Drop

Impress the hiring manager and end your interview on a high note with this question:

"What has been your best moment to date with [insert company name]?"


In addition to giving you an idea of what the culture is like, asking the interviewer to share their fondest memory delivers a more subtle (but critical) benefit: The positive feeling they experience will be subconsciously associated with your prospects as a future employee. Smart, right?
