If you have any hesitations, or if you are still interested in this opportunity. Ask smart questions, and gain clarification anywhere you need. Frame your concerns and clarifying questions as positively as possible. Try to seem flexible and open-minded. If you do not have any concerns, that's great! You should reserve a prepared few questions for the end of your interview to show a thoughtfully prepared interest.
Some questions you can ask include:
- What was the biggest struggle for the person in this role, previously?
- If hired, what do you believe will be my biggest hurdle in the first 90 days?
- What is the most significant change your industry has gone through this year?

"You mentioned a high rate of employee turnover. I have a great amount of experience working with companies that need an overhaul related to employee engagement but would like to know what situation I would be facing. Do you have numbers or stats to share?"

None that I'm aware of. What is the most challenging part to this position?
Rachelle's Feedback
It's a great idea to ask this type of question to the interviewer. Depending on their role, you may want to rephrase it as, 'What has been the most challenging part of working for CNRC?'

None at all. After discussing this role in depth with my friend who works here and recommended the job application to me, I know it would be an amazing fit for me and my lifestyle.
One question I do have though is in your experience, what is something that most people do struggle with when working here?
Rachelle's Feedback
You approach this question quite well! It's smart that you mention your friend as a referral as well. Candidates who come from an existing employee referral have a statistically greater chance of being hired. I suggest a minor re-word since saying 'con' could be negatively received by your interviewer. I've offered a small revision for you below.
"I have no concerns about this role. After meeting with your team and discussing this position in-depth with my friend who works here and recommended the job application to me, I know it would be an amazing fit for me and my lifestyle. Could you share with me an area where previous employees in this role have struggled? I would like to ensure that I am fully prepared and set up for success."
