I always get asked “do you have questions” in interviews. What are some good questions to ask that might impress the sr creatives I’m interviewing with?

I like to ask what success looks like to them in either their role or the role I’m applying for, depending on who I am talking to. May not be a great question, but it does help me understand the priorities and goals of the people I’d be working with/for.

Ask questions you want answers to. Not to sound trite, but aren’t there a million things you want to know about the place and the job and the people where you’ll be spending over 40 hours a week for the foreseeable future? This is your chance to interview them… I wouldn’t be so worried about impressing them with clever questions.

What song’s inspiring you right now. Asked some creatives that on my last interview and they got a big kick out of it!

There was a post about this recently, see if you can search it out.

What do you expect to be accomplished in 6 months from the person in this role

Well, asking thoughtful questions shows that you have confidence, that you care about your career and that you are interested in getting to know them. It also demonstrates how inquisitive and observant you are, which is an important skill in the job you want.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
