Sometimes, getting a job depends more on what you ask than what you answer. All too often, however, job seekers spend all their time preparing for how to answer the hiring manager’s questions, putting very little thought into the questions they’ll ask in return.
I often compare the job search to dating. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been on a first date where I hoped that the guy sitting across from me would propose. That would be crazy, right? But somehow, we expect something similar from the job hunt. We show up to interviews hoping to be picked. We never think about whether or not we actually like the company.
