The One Question You Should Always Ask in a Job Interview

An expert advises candidates to ask a specific question in job interviews to gain an honest view of the company.

NYU Stern professor Suzy Welch, in a CNBC report, emphasized that candidates should ask: 'What kind of person should not work at this company?'

Welch argues that this question surprises employers and prompts them to reveal the true culture of the company.

Among the answers Welch's students received were:

• 'A person who doesn't want to send messages on weekends'
• 'Someone who wants to try different roles—this is a place for specialists'
• 'A person who is overly social'
• 'Excessive wokeness is not something that fits here'
• 'Anyone who likes to work alone too much'

Welch notes that these answers reveal important information about the work environment and help candidates decide if the position is right for them.
