22. Do you know anyone who works for us?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
Did you know, according to Forbes, that people with a friend at work are 7x more likely to engage in their work fully? The interviewer would like to see if a friend referred you to this position, a former co-worker, or an industry acquaintance. This question is another way for the interviewer to ask where you heard about the role and if you have any connections from within. You can keep your answer brief and to the point.
