SUMMARY
--------------------

- Organize your questions so you have an effective and logical approach that sells you while you interview the employer.
- Ask your questions to get specifically what you need to make a great career decision (not necessarily what the employer wants to share).
- Use the information you receive during the interviews to make sure the employer wants you!

- These are SUPER abridged notes from the video in respect of you time and eyestrain (because I'm sure most of you are reading this on a phone). LOL.

3 important aspects about asking questions during your job interview:

- The way you organize all your questions.
- The way you structure each particular question.
- When you use the information you gather.

2 important goals in asking your questions:

- Sell yourself (yes, really sell yourself)
- Gather all the intelligence you need to make a great career decision.

1 most important part about your question-asking period:

- You own it! You get to say and ask anything you want!

Organize all your questions. Maintain a prearranged flow of information and send positive, subliminal messages to the job interviewer by organizing your questions into one of four buckets:

Company: Aimed at surfacing corporate-level information.
Role: Related the job position and career development.
Boss: Regarding your potential boss's style, expectations, etc.
Interviewer: Related to the particular interviewer's interest, attraction to company, etc.
Structure each question. Keep selling yourself while you're asking questions!

Structure several (not all) of your questions as follows and you'll sell yourself in the process, point the interviewer in the exact direction you want him or her to respond, and get the information you need in the shortest amount of time without misunderstandings.

Candidate's Structured Question: "I was reviewing [insert reference material here--could be from the employer's website, public reports, magazine articles, TV, etc.] and noticed [insert relevant astute observation here]. I'd like to know [insert well thought out question here]. The reason I'd like to understand that is [insert specific rationale here]."

When to use the information you receive. You can use it NOW (short-term) or LATER (long-term). NOW questions yield information you can use during the interview or subsequent interviews to sell yourself. LATER questions yield information you can contemplate at your leisure.
