These days I think the answer of this question is so important to me that I need to ask everyone I meet. 😂 Interview questions are all about identifying if candidates and hiring managers/companies align on the most important values. Whether you're a job seeker or hiring manager, in every interview try to include a question that will reveal if there are any potential dealbreakers at play.
⠀
This series includes MY dealbreaker questions (yours may be different!), and this is when I want to see how candidates solve seemingly impossible problems. As I've mentioned here before, I strongly believe there's a solution to every problem, so I'm looking a response that shows a candidate's willingness to perservere in truly challenging circumstances. If they give up, complain about it, or shove the problem onto someone else? Dealbreaker for working with me!
⠀
What do you do if someone's response is a dealbreaker? Don't judge in the moment or give any indication they may be giving you the "wrong" answer. Be curious, ask for more details to make sure you fully understand their response.
