Reply #5: I'm in the same field [View All]

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

Since interviewing assholes love to give hypothetical questions, I send them right back at em. I ask "If you could pass any of your issues tomorrow, no questions asked, which one would it be?" I also ask what accomplishments the organization is most proud of. And also ask a nuanced question about their policy. Like if they've got a stated position on alternative fuel research, ask them if they've been active in pursuing R&D money for colleges and universities.

Also be prepared to answer, in great detail, "what about your expertise makes you a good fit for this organization?" Make sure you can answer that to the minutest detail possible.

Best of luck! I've got an interview this afternoon myself.
