Prepare Questions for the Interviewer
Added 2026-11-01
Use your questions to judge whether the job is worth taking, not just to ask about benefits.
I have an interview coming up (role below). Prepare six questions for the interviewer in three groups: 1) two about the actual work, not what the job description already says; 2) two about how the team operates — how decisions are made, how failures are reviewed; 3) two about why the role is open now and what the last person who did it well was like. For each, say what I am trying to judge from the answer. End with one sentence on how to follow up if an answer is evasive. Do not ask vague questions like "how is the culture".

How to use
面试提问的目的，是判断「要不要去」，不是拿分。
Try tweaking it
- Rewrite each experience as action + result + verifiable number.
- Have it gather the job requirements first, then rewrite against them.
What you should get
- Rewritten bullets: action, result, number
- Likely follow-up questions and how to answer
Common mistakes
- Asking it to "optimise the CV", and every line starts sounding like a template.
- Adding projects you never did — it falls apart in the first interview.
How to check the output
- Each line is action + result + number, and you can defend the details.
- Nothing you did not actually do has been added.
Where it works
- Good for: rewriting experience as action + result + verifiable metric for CVs and interviews.
- Watch out: metrics must be real; AI can phrase them, not invent them.
