I'm interviewing for a sales position where the entire team is new, having been with the company for under a year. I saw layoff reviews online, but the recruiter I'm working with said that was just related to the company's acquisitions and mergers. What should I ask in my next interview to really know if this company is stable or if the turnover is something I should worry about?

Joining a team that's essential completely new can be a bit of a red flag. So you're right to be skeptical goin into the interview. You might want to ask about challenges the team is facing and what goals they have for it. And you might want to ask about the career path of someone in the role. Obviously, you might get answers that are being spun, but you can try to find out what you can.

I ask about how long most of the team members have been at the company, any challenges currently being faced, or if there have been any recent leadership changes. The first one is my favorite because it’s a fairly good indicator of a red flag farm.

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!
