I’ve been interviewing with a small firm and my next round is with someone I had previously networked with. My last round interviewer gave me 20 mins (out of a 30 min round) to ask questions, so I’m trying to prepare more questions if this happens again (cont.)

Given that I already know this next interviewer’s background, his POV on the firm’s strategic direction, etc. - what other types of topics can be covered / how do you come up with more questions after connecting surface-level with someone for so long?

Thank you both!

Who are the influencers is always an interesting discussion.

I’ve asked “do you see yourself working at this company in 5 years? What will keep you here?” which may be aggressive but 💁‍♀️

Just venting:::
I had a interview for Human resources assistant position yesterday and while screening me. The lady mentioned that the position has already been filled as of yesterday but they still want to continue my screening for the future. I told her that we can continue if there are similar job opportunities open which there is another position but it has "ALSO" been filled as of today. I was just so irritated. I feel like it was just a waste of my time if I decided to going forward.

I said that "People come to me about process issues, and I worked with others to better that process for them and the team."
Interviewer feedback denying me the role was that because I did not say "People trust me and came to me about process issues. Which led me to collaborate with others that I have networked with in the past to find solutions." I did not get the job.

Was this Code-Switching nitpick?

2. Explain your profressional experience
3. Explain your day to day activities

5. Where do you see yourself in next 2 yrs
6. What are your expectations from this role
