Jim! How many questions should i ask at an interview
in the past? i asked 3. it does not seem to be enough to get the good feel
for or of an organization or the job i love this question because it's it's difficult because a
lot of employers don't leave enough time for you to ask an adequate number of questions
so jim couple of couple of things uh with how to approach this it's not the number you ask
it's okay what do i always tell you every step i've ever taken in my life there's two things
that go along with anything i attempt two just two i'm gonna win okay i'm gonna succeed and there is
a great possibility i will fail okay i don't do anything in my life where failure is not a legit
possibility because if you're doing anything in your life where failure is not a legit possibility
you ain't growing that ain't a life worth living okay so all y'all playing it safe just remember
that now let's go back to the first point cause i am gonna win i always think that anything i do
i'm gonna win or i'm gonna succeed because at a minimum i'm gonna look at it that way
because if i don't get what i want i what i got the experience and i got some data
right okay but i'm gonna get into an interview process they're gonna hire me that's what that
means they might not but they're going to hire me now when they hire me this is how this is how
i work does i do this with my business i do this with the people i coach i'm going to win they're
going to hire me when when they hire me what do i need to know all my questions all 80 of them okay
oh hey if you get to interview intervention free book package there's 39 in the book we
throw another 75 uh booklet in there with how to interview the employer and i just gave you another
28. if you kick if you can't take the 75 and the 28 and come up with whatever okay you're gonna
have enough questions then it becomes all right of these questions what do i need to get answered
all right what do i need to get answered and then i got the no the other component is
when asking them along the way i want to make sure that i'm selling myself and i've given and
i've given talks on that how to ask questions in an interview i wrote it in the in the book
right there next to the pretty flowers from my wife's garden um that i maintained while she was
gone for two weeks uh but there's there's there's all of that now i think about i don't think about
the interview i think about the interview process i'm going to win they're going to give me a job
offer i got eight interviews i got to go through i don't need to get all the questions asked
in this one what i need to do in this particular one with the hr person is make sure i totally
connect with them what questions will they be equipped to ask for me what questions do
i from a priority standpoint need to know the most don't worry don't worry you got the whole process
all right andy that's great but but all the whole way they only gave me three minutes each time to
ask questions so what you get down to the end now what we're gonna win right we're gonna get the
job offer they say hey jim we love you we want to hire you awesome i'm receptive to an offer i
would like to i have some questions still some i can ask you mr recruiter some i need to ask miss
hiring official uh can i get some time on the calendar don't hold up the offer but can i get
some time on the calendar i can talk with you we can knock out a handful and i've got some others
and there's there's i have a lot of questions but there's only some that i absolutely need to get
answered i'm wondering if you could take some time there's not an employer on earth worth working
for that would not create the time necessary to answer all your questions why number one
i don't want any employee coming to my company without a full deck of knowledge of what they're
getting into why because if you go there and you work there two three four weeks and you don't like
what you saw what are you gonna do you're gonna leave now i would argue some people come to me
and they say annie i took a job but there was no way i could know it was gonna be like this
and i would say yes there is a way you could know if it was going to be like this maybe you didn't
go deep enough maybe you had blind spots maybe you didn't ask the questions the right way maybe
you didn't you know you didn't ask them in venture into areas you should have maybe you only want to
puddle deep not not you know kind of iceberg deep kind of thing so but think about it the whole way
then what i would say is all right each interview i go in however long it is doesn't matter if they
said to me acid test hey jim let's start this way what questions do you have for me
i would be able to conduct every interview no matter how long and never run out of questions
that's another way you want to look at it so i'm going to win i got the whole process to do it if i
don't get them all answered i'm going to request more time but i'm going to request more time
when they're about to give me an offer right it because guess what
if they if you don't continue and they eject you early who cares how many questions you asked and
they're not going to hire you you don't need to know anything you're out of there so you got to
think about it this way i love this question but i want but i want you to think about it this way
grab the book deal grab the book deals for seven bucks you get the 30 heartbound that thing you
