My parenting counselor is on good terms with an Exec at the company I am interested in exiting to. She’s offered to facilitate a virtual introduction. How should I go about leveraging this connection?

Side bar- for those of us without children; Can you explain to me parent counseling and do you think it’s achieved the intended use?

Is it to teach you to be a better parent- if so very admirable? also who looks after the kids - is it a whole family thing?

Approach it as informational and learning more about the company. I wouldn’t ask them for a referral, let them offer how to proceed.

This Exec is not aligned to my area of work, but has been with the company for a very long time and will know the right people to put in a word. However the exec doesn’t “know me” so not sure if they’d go to this length for me.. I want to navigate this appropriately without being perceived as someone looking to pull a favor.

All -
I am interviewing for a Strategy leadership role at a SaaS company. A bit rusty on interviews so crowdsourcing from senior folks here, what are best practices or good examples of certain behavioral questions.

1. What is your weakness? I can talk at length about strengths but unclear what weakness to state so as to not mess up my chances.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? This question is tough because there aren't very many levels above me so cannot say in an EVP role.
