Turning the Tables on the Interviewer

Gemme · 08-15-2013, 04:31 AM

Since you know the company, have you thought about ways to improve the product or the flow from one point to another? If so, I'd ask about how taking initiative is received or how innovation would work from your position up. Maybe completely flip the interview. Turn the potential boss into the interviewee through her employees. You know, the usual 'what do you feel is Y's greatest strength/weakness/etc'. Also, ask about the earmarks of a typical day. What values are emphasized in that environment, etc. Basically, ask the things that will give you knowledge and power to make your day to day job easier once you get the position.
