Please and thank you!

Hi folks,
Please reply me if you are working in Capgemini , Talwade or have a good knowledge about the nearby area like bus stops, how to get to pune station, where to live. I have to see where to find accommodation accordingly.
PS: I don't have my own vehicle and totally relying on buses trains metros
And my boss says, these generations are all lazy 😅

Well, maybe not in an informational interview, but my favorite question to ask a hiring manager is “what are you looking for in the person who will fill this role?” and/or “Are there any knowledge or skill gaps in your team that this person can help fill” because then I tailor everything else I say and my thank you note around that.
Once in an interview I asked what failure would look like.
The interviewer said it was the best question he'd ever heard. And then told me what failure would look like.
I didn't get the job.

I’d ask the same question but the positive version. What all-out success looks like. That can be different for different interviewers. But when you ask what failure looks like, it just sounds negative. And you should probably know already.
This is my closer:
“What can I do in the first (6 months, year) that would make you glad to have me on your team?”
Alternatively, or in addition, “What would you say that success looks like in this role?”
When I asked these questions, the interviewer said what great questions they were!
And I got the job 😎

My favorite closing questions is “do you have any reservations about me as a candidate? If so, I’d love to address them live so we can explore it together.”
Yes! Love this one. When you get the tone and cadence right, it does wonders.
After a strong interview, I once (jokingly) asked what kind of company car I would get. The interviewer did not get the joke and I did not get the job. Don’t do that.

How many other people are you talking to for this role? When do you expect to make a decision?
It helps to know what you’re up against. And it also makes them question why they would keep interviewing if they already know they like you.
Why should I come work for you? (Ask the hiring manager)
