“Consider if the company is a fit for you by preparing a set of questions you can ask the hiring manager. Focus on your non-negotiables and be sure they align with your expectations. For example: How does the company determine employee success? What processes and procedures yield the best results? What leadership attributes are important? Candidates should always interview their potential employer!”
