Emily Rezkalla, a career coach who owns Em Rez Consulting, has revealed the “example-based” interview questions candidates should ask a hiring manager to land a job.
In a one-minute video posted to her TikTok account @emrezkalla, content creator Rezkalla, 29, acted out an interview scenario in which the candidate secured the position because of the smart questions she asked.
Even when applicants nail every question asked during their interview, they sometimes fail when the interviewer flips the script and asks if they have any questions about the role they’re applying for.
One of the worst things to do is say “no” because it shows the company you need more interest and curiosity about the position.
Rezkalla states that even though your brain may feel like “a lot” after answering a series of questions, you should remember that this is your chance for a “last impression.”
The Canadian says you need to stand out, channel your “star candidate” energy and ask in-depth follow-up questions about the role and the company.
The self-proclaimed “top career mentor,” who shares career growth hacks online with more than 194,000 followers, curated a list of questions people should keep in their back pockets in case they get asked.
Questions to ask at the end of your job interview
- What is an example of how you would like the star candidate to contribute to the company beyond job responsibilities?
- What is the biggest challenge facing the team right now that you want the person in this role to solve?
- What are some examples of professional development opportunities that you have specifically benefited from at the company?
- What kind of support does the company provide for employees looking to take on leadership roles?”
- How would you describe the types of relationships the person in this role would have with their team and leadership?
- Based on your experience, how would you describe the people at the company in three words?
- What is an example of how the company handles high volume/high stress work days for its employees?
- What’s a project you’ve worked on recently that has excited you the most so far?
Rezkalla also suggested asking specific questions about your interests, such as work-life balance, career growth and workplace culture.
“Vague questions will give you vague answers,” said Rezkalla. “Don’t forget to add your skill to the questions, so good luck and get that bag.”
Many TikTokkers praised the career coach for sharing job interview tips.
“I used your questions and they were amazing! I don’t know if I’ll get the job, but at least I made it memorable,” wrote one job seeker.
“This is actually useful information. It’s about time one of these confessions was good at interview tips,” commented one observer.
“I used the first one in my big interview today and they loved it,” revealed one TikTokker.
Meanwhile, several hiring managers joined the conversation with mixed comments about Rezkalla’s follow-up questions.
“I love it when candidates ask me about projects I’m excited about,” commented one hiring manager.
“At the end of the interview, my mind is already made up. None of these questions will change anything,” admitted another.
“To be honest, most hiring managers hope there are no extra questions,” one person wrote.
Despite the naysayers, Rezkalla reminds her followers to ask good questions — but don’t overcomplicate it.
