Research as many specifics as you can about the client and specific industry. If you don't have enough questions that's going to show that you either don't know about the job enough and aren't qualified or you don't care enough about the position to research into the company and the job

Ask what are they looking for in a candidate. Ask them if you they have any more questions or if they want you to expand on anything else from your resume. Ask what the team dynamic is like. Ask what they expect the learning curve to be for this position. Ask what types of clients you would specifically be working on.

Ask one or two questions like this: what are the industries you serve, what are your largest engagements, what “white space” are you marketing into, what role can I play in marketing, recruiting and firm initiatives? Now it looks like you give a F.

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?

How confident were you that you landed a job after the second interview? My friends tell me the fact that I had a second interview is pretty much a guarantee that I will be selected. I am not so sure. So I thought I would check with the fish bowl.

With everyone seeming to be “hiring” I’ve had job interviews with various firms: EY, Plante Moran, Doren Mayhew, Rehmann, to name a few..
Apparently I just suck at interviewing, or the firms in my area are not hiring. 🤦
