What's your go-to question to ask to impress the person who's interviewing you? For me, it's -What are some of the challenges you expect the person in this position to face? Works every time

Describe a situation in which you had to work with a difficult person (co-worker, customer, supervisor, etc.). How did you handle the situation?

I like asking, "What do you like most about yourself?"
It's a play on strengths and weaknesses that highlights self-awareness.

If you're meeting with the hiring manager, I would recommend asking: “Is there anything that keeps you or the team up at night? How could I help resolve those issues in my role at [Company Name]?” This shows that you care about making their job easier. If you’re meeting with a recruiter who is not the hiring manager, you might ask the same question but say “Is there anything that keeps the hiring manager or the team up at night? …” I hope this helps! You’ve got this 💪

So, I’m interviewing for a position that fits perfectly, HR likes my profile, had great conversations with them. Today I had a Panel interview with HR and the hiring manager. The manager is not experienced, it’s her first r manager role and she’s been in it for 3 months. I was prepared but was out of breath the entire interview, had a knot in my throat, had trouble finding my words. It’s like I had PTSD when this manager came into the picture. Ever had that?
