Should Employers Pay to Interview You?

[Minnie]

The other questions were:

1) If I were to start tomorrow, what would be the top priority on my to-do list?
2) What would you say are the top two personality traits someone needs to do this job well?
3) What improvements or changes do you hope the new candidate will bring to this position?
4) I know this company prides itself on X and Y, so what would you say is the most important aspect of your culture?
5) Do you like working here?

I might want to reframe that question as it opens up answers that you might not be able to fill.

I would always go back to the last person that filled that job and find out what that person was lacking that opened the position.

Like a good lawyer never ask a question that you don't know the answer to and can incriminate you.

I wouldn't ask it.
