I caught this link in a Brent Ozar newsletter. It's a post from Alice Goldfuss noting she's on the market for hiring. Not that she's looking for a job, but rather, saying she's willing to talk to you if you want to hire her. Quite a bold announcement, but she's quite a talent that many organizations might want. I don't know that many of us could post something and have companies come find you, but I did like the list of items she lays out for a hiring conversation.

These are the types of questions that you might keep handy, even as notes, for your next interview. I've often had a series of questions like this that I ask when I go into an interview for a job. I've learned that I need to be curious and careful if I want a successful position for both me and the company. Both of us are trying to put our best foot forward, sometimes stretching the positives and minimizing the downsides. That means that both sides can be surprised later by how the relationship actually proceeds.
