Questions to Ask in a Round 2 Interview - Your Career IntelIn my last blog post, I wrote how crucial it is to understand that a Round 2 bewerberinterview doesnt mean you got the job already and that you can swagger into the interview unprepared. Like Rocky Balboa, youve got to train before the big day so you can knock out the competition and move on to the final round.Some ways to ace the Round 2 interview include researching the company and the job thoroughly and being able to quantify your past job accomplishments (Eg. I raised sales 20% or reduced wastage by 10% etc.)Another critical skill a candidate needs to have is to be able to ask the interviewer open-ended questions so that they get talking. Its a great way to show you are interested in the job and the company.So what are the type of questions you can ask an interviewer? I usually categorize them as follows1. Role-related questions2. Goal-related questions3. Candidate-related questions4. Process questionsRole Related Questio nsunterstellung would pertain directly to the lage you are interviewing for.
