In this advice segment, the speaker explains that job candidates should ask forward‑looking, “buyer” questions during interviews to demonstrate how they would fit and add value to the organization. Instead of probing for reasons to avoid tasks, candidates should ask about the first three priorities they would be expected to tackle, and inquire about the make‑or‑break actions that could lead to promotion or termination. These questions help paint a picture of a partnership and clarify the role’s expectations, showing the interviewer that the candidate is already thinking about how to succeed together.

Another one would be, if you were to hire me, what is a make it and what's a break it for you? It's like, what's something that if I did, you would fire me? What's something that if I did, you would promote me? Basically saying like, once you hire me, if I did these things or if this happened, how would this play out? Or what would you like me to do? And so it almost is like painting the picture of what it would look like to work together rather than asking them questions that are, hey, I'm not sure if I want to do this yet or not. What's really important is like, what's the partnership going to look like and what do you want my role to look like in the company?
