I’m learning to ask better questions in interviews instead of just trying to impress. Things like how feedback is handled or how mistakes are treated say a lot. What’s one question you now ask employers because of a past toxic experience?

Those are great questions, you can also ask what the office preferred method of communication is and or how they would describe the management style. If you are interviewing with the direct hiring manager, pay close attention to how they answer questions and also what types of questions they ask. That can tell you a lot about how they think or how knowledgeable they are. If it's a recruiter or human resources representative-be keen on paying attention. After all, this is your first impression or clue as to how the company typically operates.

Thank you!

Sometimes I might ask about company values/ culture. One I always ask is about progression and how that is supported!

Good ones! Thank you!
