Do you have any questions for us?
The interview process is two or more persons conversation and now it is your turn to ask.
If something has not been answered, please ask the relevant questions about company future, growth plan, industry challenges, etc.
You should be ready with a set of thoughtful questions which show you
as intelligent, well prepared and curious to understand. Prove yourself to be an interested candidate.
David Melancon (Managing Principal of Ito partnership) says there are three questions far more important for a candidate to ask than what the salary is or what the job requirements are.
1. What qualities will a person in this role need to be successful in your company culture — as an individual and as a worker?
2. What’s the company’s position on education and development, including student-loan reimbursement and tuition assistance?
3. How does the company keep employees excited, innovative, and motivated?
Be ready with a set of thoughtful questions. Do not miss this opportunity to show yourself as a good candidate.

Demonstrate the soft skills in your resume
In addition to hard and soft skills, we must also exhibit self-management skills e.g. self-motivation, time management and stress management. Being open minded, flexible, adaptable, experimenting and learning from mistakes are the key differentiator for a person's success.
World Economic Forum lists out the top ten soft skills, which employers look for. These are · - Complex Problem Solving · - Critical Thinking · - Creativity · - People Management · - Coordinating with Others · - Emotional Intelligence · - Judgment and Decision Making · - Service Orientation · - Negotiation · - Cognitive Flexibility
As a prospective employee, it is our job to learn and enhance the soft skills continuously as well as demonstrate relevant skills in our resume and during the interview to increase our success rate in the interview process.
