Like Goldilocks, finding a job that's just right can be a challenge. Here are six questions you need to bring to your next interview.
Employee Attrition
Why have people left this position voluntarily or involuntarily?
Of all the questions you could ask, this is the most enlightening about the employer's expectations. You want to know whether you'll be happy and successful, so find out what personalities work well in the role. Which haven't been so successful? Dig deep about any qualities shared by former employees that didn't jive well with the culture. Perhaps the position requires great organization, but also constant adaptation. If you learn multiple qualified people have left the role, that's a red flag. Is the position unfairly demanding or were life circumstances to blame?
