The Human Reach - Executive Coaching, Career Coaching & HR Consulting

Most candidates ask, “What does success look like in this role?”

It’s not a bad question. But there’s a better one.

“ If I were successful in the first 90 days, what would I have done for you to view me as successful? ”

This question does two things.

First, it gives you a clear picture of what the hiring manager actually values, so you can connect your experience directly to those priorities.

Second, it shifts the conversation from whether you can do the job to what it looks like when you’re already doing it successfully.

The best interview questions don’t just gather information.

They help the interviewer picture you in the role.

One of the smartest things you can do after receiving a job offer is ask to speak with one more person on the team.

Someone who will give you a more honest picture of what the day-to-day actually feels like.

That conversation can tell you more about the team dynamics, leadership style, biggest challenges, and overall environment than almost any interview question will.

A role can sound great during the interview process and feel completely different once you’re inside it.

The best career decisions come from gathering enough context to understand what you’re really walking into before you say yes.

Most people think networking means asking people for jobs.
That’s why their networking feels awkward and ineffective.
Sending your resume to strangers, immediately asking for referrals, or treating every conversation like a transaction is not networking — it’s just asking for something before trust exists.
Real networking is relationship building.
The strongest networkers lead with curiosity, insight, and value. They ask thoughtful questions, learn about the other person, and stay connected over time. Then when opportunities appear, people naturally think of them because trust has already been established.
Networking works best when it stops feeling like taking and starts feeling like connection.
