What do you typically ask now?
Some suggestions:

Describe the team/department collaboration/comm style
What are some examples of escalations you’ve received from past performers in this role
Describe some times past performers exceeded goals

What would success look like for me after 6 months....a year....
What do you think I could bring to this role? (flip the script)
Do you have any concerns about my qualifications for this role that I can address?
What has someone in this role gone on to do at this company or elsewhere?
Why is this job available? Backfill? New contract? Growing company?
---if last answer is growing company, ask about work life balance or how they are managing the growth to ensure a good work life balance for all employees
What is one thing you wish you had known before starting your role here that you can share with me?
Is innovation and entrepreneurship welcomed in this role or is it more "by the book".....will I have a chance to carve out some of my responsibilities based on my skills and interests?
What do you wish I'd ask you about this role or this company? (flip the script again)
What's the best question someone has asked you in an interview? (this is a good one, it makes them think, it also allows you to use it in the next round)....
Ask questions about the growth of the role, how it can expand, what impact it can make, where the needs are, then in the next round, use those answers to your advantage and talk about how you are the person to do those things. Good luck!

Hello Fishes, I interviewed at a company in October and they responded to me after a month. I accepted the verbal offer last week Wednesday. They said they would give written offer in a week. I have recruiters from the same company reach out for positions at different locations. My current recruiter said once I accept this I can't interview for other positions at the same company. Their process is so slow that I don't really want to miss out on any chance.What would be a great time to follow up?

I was told to apply to a hospital job by someone interested in interviewing me. The recruiter reached out. Asked for my availability but then didn’t respond when I gave her my availability. I followed up. We scheduled a phone call (she said she’d call) and then she didn’t call! At this point, I’m thinking they’re totally disorganized. Is this common practice? I’ve never dealt with a recruiter so I don’t know.
