One of my managers just told me about an experience that he just had. Great interview, candidate was answering all the questions correctly. It seemed like a good fit. Then when the manager asked the candidate what questions he had for the manager….the candidate said that he “had all the information that he needed”. Bad move. Why? It communicated that the candidate was not a discerning person, that he was looking for the next notch on his resume and he wasn’t being picky about what company it would be. Managers are certainly interviewing candidates but candidates should be interviewing managers (and companies) through the process. Good questions will solidify the managers’ opinion that the candidate understands what they are getting into and are clear what they want (as well as a host of other attributes). Any questions?
