If it’s the hiring manager, then I’d ask what is their definition of an ideal employee. Sometimes company culture is slightly different from team culture..

I always try to ask about the culture. I also like to ask what the average number of years employees on the team have been there for. It speaks to the culture a bit to know if there is alot of turnover.

Ask how they adjusted for Covid and how they supported employees. It’s been a VERY telling question for me.

KPMG I’m confused on your referral process. Had a friend refer me before I made an account, made an account, applied to two jobs and got rejected (that’s fine). But if I want to apply to a third job, will it still be under her referral or do I need a new referral? (She said she can’t refer me again for 12 months) I’m not even sure if I applied correctly under her referral. The first two jobs I applied for were through talent community as I normally would without a referral. Help, I’m so lost :(
