“Have you got any questions for me?” Cue panic. Cue blank mind. Cue awkward smile. 🌝

We've all been there. But to paraphrase a certain Pretty Woman: "Big mistake. Huge(ly avoidable)."

Asking great questions at the end of an interview can be the difference between “It was nice to meet you” and “Welcome to the team.” It shows you’ve done your homework, care about the role, and want to make an impact. 💥

Not sure what to ask? Here are some ideas:

1. “What are the key priorities for this role in the next 6–12 months?”
- Shows you’re thinking ahead, and helps you avoid any nasty surprises on day one. Win/win.

2. “How would you describe the team dynamics and culture?”
- Helps you figure out if it’s a vibe-match for you, or an immediate nope.

3. “What learning and development opportunities are available?”
- Sends a clear signal: I want to grow, and I want to grow HERE.

4. “What are the next steps in the process?”
- No more obsessively checking your inbox. This shows you're keen, and helps you manage your own expectations.

5. “Is there anything you'd like me to elaborate on?”
- Shows confidence, self-awareness, and gives you a chance to address any doubts they might be secretly harbouring.

Remember, interviews are two-way. You’re evaluating them, too.

So ask bold questions. Get real answers.

And walk out knowing whether it’s a “yes please” or a “hard pass.” 🙌

Now go nail it. You’ve got this 🔥

Members of the LGBTQ+ community are 76% more likely to choose a workplace with a progressive and inclusive culture. 🌈

It's one of those beautiful cases where Flexa's data matches up perfectly with common sense.

Pride Month is an incredible opportunity for companies to showcase the work they are doing to support and include their LGBTQ+ employees.

And you'll doubtless see lots of amazing work on this topic over the next few weeks (including from us!)

But this data serves as an important reminder: even the best Pride Month campaigns are no replacement for fostering a progressive and inclusive culture all year round. 💜

THINGS THAT FEEL ILLEGAL (BUT AREN’T)
- Logging off on time
- Saying no to a meeting
- Taking a proper lunch break
- Ignoring “quick question?” DMs

MEETING RED FLAGS WE'RE ALL TOO POLITE TO CALL OUT (BUT ABSOLUTELY SHOULD) 🚩

🚫 “No agenda, it's just a quick chat”
↳ Totally fine, as long as you're prepared for me to be deeply unprepared

🌀 “We’ll figure it out on the call”
↳ I hate to break it to you, but I have a sneaking suspicion that we absolutely won't

⏳ “Might run over by a few mins”
↳ Should we maybe... make the meeting longer then? Just a wild suggestion, what do I know

🔁 “Let’s take this offline”
↳ OR, and hear me out with this one: we could discuss it now? In the meeting we scheduled for this very purpose?

Did we miss your biggest pet peeve? 👇

JOB-HUNTING PSA:
What they say: "We're looking for a rockstar unicorn with real get-up-and-go!" 🦄

What they mean: "We arguably need three people to cover this workload, but we can only afford one." 💰

Proceed with caution ⚠️

WFH: When you realise you haven't stood up in about 5 hours ⌛
Office: When you look up and discover you're the last one here 👀
Both: Please take this as your sign to log off and have some dinner 🍽️

"I can always tell when a candidate hasn't checked our website."
— every hiring manager, ever. 😬

PSA: remote interviews aren't casual, they aren't low stakes, and they DEFINITELY don't mean you can skimp on the prep.

If anything, they require *more* effort to create a real connection.

Here are 3 ways you can stand out from the other little Zoom boxes the hiring manager has been chatting to today:

🔬DO SOME RESEARCH
↳ You don't need to spend hours creating a dissertation-length dossier, but don't just read the 'About Us' page and call it a day either. Check out their socials, and their Flexa profile if they have one (subtle plug 🔌) — you'll find out more about how they operate, beyond just what they do.

💻 DOUBLE CHECK YOUR TECH
↳ Your first impression being a broken mic, a jumpy WiFi connection or a less-than-aesthetically-pleasing background is NOT a good look. Taking 10 minutes to suss it out beforehand can save you a world of problems.

🤔 PREP SOME QUESTIONS
↳ Don't go into full interrogation mode, but having 2 or 3 thoughtfully chosen questions to ask at the end can help you leave a lasting positive impression. And it'll help you clarify on things that matter to you, too — it's a win/win.

Good luck with your next interview! And as always, let us know if we've missed any of your go-to tips 👇

FRIDAY JOB-HUNTING PSA: tailor your CV for each job you apply to. Yes, every single one. 🚨

We know, we know. It sounds like a colossal faff. But that extra effort really does pay off. And it doesn’t need to take yonks of your time, either.

Take another look at that job description.

What skills are they asking for? Don’t copy them word for word into your doc; just make eeeextra sure your CV is showing off how you have those skills in a tangible way.

Think real-life experiences and genuine examples.

❌ DON'T SAY: "I have great management skills"

✅ DO SAY: "I have experience of managing a team of 5, supporting them to exceed our team goal by 30% last quarter"

It’ll only take an extra 10 mins. But your future self will thank you when you finally get that call ☎️
