Someone recovering from illness shares an interview tactic: ask within the first ten minutes what your first project will be. It shapes the conversation, lets you tailor your answers to the actual work, and shows the interviewer how you'd fit the role.

I was sick in bed all day yesterday, but I have an interview that's coming up that I had to prep for, which is happening today. And so I was scrolling through LinkedIn and I found this really great piece of advice I'm going to implement, which is within the first 10 minutes, ask this question: What is the first project I'll be working on in this role? Asking this question is really going to help set the tone of how the whole interview will play out, and you'll really be able to customize the answers you give about your life, your skills and experiences to match this first project. And it'll also give the supervisor, whoever's interviewing you, a better understanding an idea of how you'll be like coming into this role. And lastly, it'll just make you a lot more confident with how you formulate your answers. So yeah, I'm going to be using this question. You guys will have to stay tuned for my YouTube video to see how it turns out, and I'm looking forward to updating all of you.
