Corporate Strategy

164. Interviewing for the Job You Need


Listen Later

Understanding your workplace priorities through the CACC framework helps you evaluate potential employers and find the right fit for your career goals.

• Culture assessment requires asking direct questions like "What kind of culture can I expect on your team?"
• Follow up by asking if that culture is unique to the team or reflects the broader organization
• Honest answers about organizational challenges often signal transparency and integrity
• Challenge evaluation should be tailored to your specific role and personal preferences
• Engineers might ask about involvement in problem-solving versus implementing predefined tasks
• Product managers can inquire about roadmap development and strategic input opportunities
• Autonomy discussions often yield inaccurate responses, so seek input from peer-level employees when possible
• Ask specific questions about decision-making processes and approval chains
• Compensation should be discussed early in the recruitment process, typically during initial HR screening
• Consider stating your current compensation while expressing flexibility based on the overall opportunity
• Use the powerful interview question: "What's the question I should have asked you but didn't?"
• The ultimate power move: end your interview with "Can't wait to see you Monday!" and act like you already have the job

Remember, you spend a significant portion of your life at work—make sure it's somewhere that aligns with what truly matters to you.
