- Ask whether stumping questions are used as teaching moments or to dismiss candidates.
Listen For How Bosses Talk About Others
- Watch how a future supervisor talks about colleagues to detect toxicity.
- If they denigrate others, expect they may eventually denigrate you.
Ask Why The Role Exists
- Ask why the position is vacant to learn if openings come from promotion or turnover.
- Use that context to infer growth versus instability in the organization.
