@@jackshaftoe1715 With her attitude, you know she'd be a problem, and it would end up with her being fired down the line for insubordination. However, you'd have to waste all kind's of time, to do all the verbal's, and write up's, for the paper trail HR would need, if anyone was dumb enough to hire her. The interviewer should have stood up, the minute she said she had 15 question's and was going to interview the company, thanked her for her interest, and advised her the interview was over.

LOL I just came from a job interview about 45 minutes ago and I basically did exactly this. I was asking them about their culture, their management style, their turnover, you know making sure that place was someplace I wanted to work.
I actually did this once and it was wonderful. They were quite startled and after we finished with my questions, I stood up, thanked them and told them that I was withdrawing my application. I'm pretty sure they did not see that one coming.
Well, the world does now owe her underwear and you are there to serve them and provide your service for money. They can find someone else if you’re just too good for them
@@pompommaniaexactly. There’s a certain harmony that people need to bring to a team. Confrontational doesn’t look good and it begs the questions: “how frequently is she going to be arguing with coworkers and bring outside drama into the workplace.” We know she’s a team player, but this displays the absolute opposite. Unless you’re in high demand and work alone, this is going to weigh heavily against a person, even at a fantastic company.
I actually did this on my last interview (I've now worked at this company and for that supervisor for the last three years, both of us moving up the chain). Our hour-long interview ended up being a two-hour chat session discussing the company, where I would fit, my skills, their needs, and so on. By the end of that interview, we both knew we were a great fit for each other. Other companies that really demanded it be a one-way street were much less of a good fit.
That's how it should be done, a dual interview. Many times during an interview, I knew right away that a company was not a good fit for me and went another direction. You need a job, and these companies need employees, but you don't have to work just any job. It goes both ways, you don't want a lousy employee and I don't want a lousy boss. Negotiate terms.
If at one time you have to fight to get on somewhere, and then a few years later they're constantly looking to fill holes with new grads/new hires, you know it's time to put your walking shoes to work.
@@jamesdelgado2009 I take it that you're the pacifist who just keeps his head down, does whatever he's told and never wonders why? Here's your figure - 🐑
It sounds more like Veronica is about to choose not to work for them. She has more power than the company and companies need to shape up if they want quality workers like Veronica. Loyalty is earned.
After decades of work and three layoffs in all those years, I do my company research and always, always, always have prepared question when asked. Sometimes the interviewer will make it easy on me and say something that I need clarification on. Have pen and pad at the ready 📒🖌️ We need to stop kissing all these frogs 🐸
If you're good, you can interview the employer without them realizing it during the interview process. Many of her questions could've been asked during the regular interview.
@@rnptenafly Oh 100% but these videos are cartoons. They are meant to be over exaggerator. The amount of sarcasm in each video would get you fired. But in an ideal world you wouldn't feel the need to be sarcastic every time you spoke with incompetent middle managment
You’re always allowed to ask those questions. You should also make sure to always do it. It’s not a negative thing. It also means they’re aware. Maybe with less attitude than Veronica. But yeah.
@@DM-id3yw No, it's attitude, definitely negative. The interviewer literally asked her if she had any questions. She gave a lecture instead of just asking the questions, and then made some weird power play at the end. The door was completely open, and she kicked it down anyway
You are definitely allowed (even expected) to ask questions, but most of the interview advice I’ve ever seen seems to suggest you ask questions about the type of work that lets the employer know you’ve done your research on the company. Benefits type questions (which of course you would like to know early) don’t get asked at that stage -according to what I’ve read.
There is no attitude at all there Vernoica is just firm in what she wants and expects from her future employer, but some empoyers can't handle good honest employees.
The interview is your chance to negotiate for yourself. You can’t negotiate if you don’t know what the situation you are coming into looks like. Both sides gets a chance to ask and answer questions. Should the company be so full of themselves that they are afraid of the employee knowing what is expected as well as what they can expect, they likely are not a company worthy to employ you
It will be lied either way. Culture and ppl you will only know once working with them. But a taste you can have by knowing what products they do sell. Look at customers. A lot can be told. It is not always easy, and many sectors i know nothing about, so im in the dark. Not always prices are visible either. Anyho. If the job worth the hassle of wasting so much time, better be good.
I took this attitude on a management training course ~ which I was sent on AFTER I’d been in the management position for about a year and excellent performance reviews. Timing. The art of good comedy. The guys running the course said to me that, ‘You won’t get many jobs taking that attitude.’ To which I replied, ‘Seems to have worked out fine so far. Once you’re past all the ‘interview technique’ bullshit, they know exactly who I am and I know exactly who they are and if I actually want to work for them.’ In the ‘mock interview’ role play, I told the guy being interviewed ~ one of the guys running the course ~ that I’d never employ him because he was just using interview technique word salad. He wasn’t especially happy, but the other guys and girls on the course found it highly entertaining.
I remember the first time I used the phrase a decade ago. "This is as much an interview for you as for me. I need to make sure this is a good fit." And that's why i started my own business.
While she was stalling about the NUMBER of questions, that lady could’ve tackled AT LEAST 5 of them, plus a couple follow ups. The fact that she’s in such disbelief at someone wanting to make sure the company is also a good place to work as much as she wants to pick the right fit goes to show she doesn’t think of employees (and perhaps herself) as people but as mere assets that serve the company or not.
That's why they did away with calling it the "Personnel" office and changed to "Human Resources". People are something disposable to them and want you to know that from the get-go.
I remember a guy named Jack Torrence who interviewed for a position to be the Caretaker of a big hotel over the winter. The interview went well and he got the job. Long story short, he went bonkers and tried to kill his wife and son with an axe. The wife and son got away, but there was this poor chef who stopped by to check on them and got an axe to the chest. Moral of the story: make sure the job is a good fit for you before you take it…
I would not even wait to ask questions…I also wouldn’t tell them anything like this…I would just start asking questions and take control. And before I’d even get to this interview, I’d already have a solid answer on what the job pays. I’m not even bothering to show up for an interview if the job doesn’t pay enough and they won’t tell me.
I've interviewed hundreds of software developers and I always dedicate at least 1/4 of the interview for the candidate to interview me. This 100% makes sense for both parties.
😂😂Yes!! You're interviewing the COMPANY as well to make sure it's the right cultural fit. I ALWAYS ask 4 to 8 questions about the organization and the role.
All of these questions she mentioned are very straightforward, at least for most large, well-established companies. I’d absolutely expect this from most folks I interview with and, in fact, welcome them. Shows they care more about just having work and know their worth.
When the company's hype doesn't amount up to much, this is the best way to end the possibility of getting hired. I love the questions. They're all valid. I'm here for it. 😊
This is good for vetting your employers. However, just know that *many* interviewers will trash you in their reports so the company doesn't hire you. I hate saying this since it's not always like this, but in this situation it really is about how you present your questions. You can be upfront while maintaining enough discretion to prevent the interviewer from thinking they're being grilled.
I understand that that's your experience but in my experience, we interviewed 17 candidates to try and fill a senior position. Two of them rejected our offers. It took close to 60 hours out of my schedule. As a manager you want a win and to have a successful higher. You don't want to spend your precious time interviewing people. And you could be looking at between 1 hour for the first call to 4 hours for the total process for the few that make it to the end. And in the end the corporation bone to the heck out of the guy we hired. He was hired because he had skill set a and 3 weeks after being hired they assigned him to skillset b. Skill set B wasn't a desirable on the market while skill set A was in high demand. It was a waste of our time and it was a waste of his time.
@@macmcleod1188 I hate to be That Guy but - hire > higher in this case. Yeah, companies that don't value their people can be a pain to work with and for. They try to wedge square pegs into round holes, when the square peg fits perfectly into a square hole that exists and the round hole is brand new and not a great thing. You know they will do that with whatever people they have who are trying to do the best job possible, but ... I'm sorry you work someplace like that. It's hard. Same situation happened at my SO's job. They hired a manager who was very skilled at doing certain things and getting his people enthusiastic about it. He was great for the month it took for the company to try to change his focus from what he was great at to something that was the personal project of one of the Front Office folks. He was there about 2 months, total, trying to work things out, before they had to start looking for another department manager because, even when warned, the company stepped forward with the "new" job. Over 6 months to finally get a department manager in to manage, just because some people can't keep job separations straight in their heads. Hire someone to do the job you want them to do, not the weird imaginary thing that's NOT what you're hiring for.
Employers are usually in control in these situations and don't like a power balance. I was once offered a job and I turned it down due to lower than expected pay and benefits. They then started to berate me for wasting their time. They were in disbelief that someone could receive a job offer and not automatically be grateful and take whatever is offered. I'm glad I passed on that one.
Interviewing the company is my favorite part, it takes confidence and practice but putting them in the hot seat is a great way to find out about the company and people
Veronika has a LOT of experience since she’s had 12 jobs in the last three years. She quit or was separated for various reasons. The employer made unreasonable demands, the employer misrepresented the job, the working conditions were toxic, her supervisor didn’t challenge her enough, customers were rude, she was not given special accomodation for her pets, employees were not interested in collective bargaining or union representation, her assigned parking space was too far from her work area, the company would not recognize her “time blindness” and work with her, there were no vegans, dog lovers, cat lovers, bicyclists, recyclers, or joggers, and worst of all, Veronika was more qualified to have her supervisor’s job in almost every case.
I did this for my current job about career advancement. The hiring manager made it seem easy and natural. Two years in, that same person told me that the organization was flat and it might not be possible. I ended up with a lateral / adjusted title and very little extra money. Whenever I’m told about my promo, I remind the manager that I wasn’t promoted and just have an “alternate title” as listed in payroll.
This is actually not new (though not 15 questions long). I've read multiple interviewing books many years ago and they've all stressed the importance of asking questions to those hiring. It indicates that you are prepared, interested in committing to work long-term at the company if hired, and also gives you opportunity to see if the job is best fit for you. This is usually done at long-term career type job interviews rather than simple retail/customer service interviews.
If the interviewer finds it strange and/or doesn't want to answer, run!! Any reputable company should be an open book when basic questions are asked. If you go to an interview and don't adk questions, then you deserve what you get. Always ask questions
Here are some questions that deserve airing: 1. If this isn't a new role, how did the last person employed in this role end up leaving it? 2. What is your staff yearly turnover rate? Given that it normally takes two-and-a-half times someones monthly pay worth to replace them, through additional training required, loss of productivity during the training phase, loss of staff morale, etc..., and what are the steps your business is taking to reduce that rate? 3. How do you convince your employees that they're not just a number, or an expense to your business? 4. Does you business have an actual business plan or vision? How much are your employees invested in this plan or vision? Given that your employees' salary will never match the true value of their time, how do you reward them instead to feel like they're valued enough by your business, and vital to its plan or vision? 5. Does your business have an active program to enhance and diversify through training its employees' professional progression so that they can in turn take your business to its full potential? 6. How does your business attract new employees who already have the professional experience and expertise to take your business to its full potential? 7. Is your business plan or vision inclusive and enterprising enough to convince its employees that their loyalty to it is not misplaced or abused, even if they're offered later on better pay rates with other businesses? 8. Are you confident enough that you business plan or vision makes it an industry or market leader? Do your employees share that confidence? 9. Are your employment practices worthy of setting new job market benchmarks?
This was me in the construction industry 28-years ago. "Please, tell me why I should come and work with you?" The result was I started my own company and a R&D Corp for safety products used in the military and civilian construction, police, and safety. My other company was and remains, "TheSafetySmith".
I was 21 and a driller on a rig in West Texas. A man that had started his own oil company was impressed with my work ethic and positive attitude. 6 months later he flew me to his office in Ft. Worth to offer me a job as a drilling superintendent for his company for $18,000/yr I stood up, shaked his hand and said, "I can't thank you enough that you would even CONSIDER me for the position. But to be honest sir, I have to turn down the opportunity as I make $24,000 now and my wants and desires went out of the window the moment I held my first born. My life isn't about me." I got a call the next day saying that I had the job for $24,000.
This would be a revolutionary perspective several decades ago. Now management and HR hope for and welcome questions from interviewees - it shows they have as much interest in the organization as the organization has in them.
A lot of what she wants to know can be found publicly. The rest could be asked during the interview. I take interviews as a back and forth. Don’t just sit there answering questions. Ask questions along the way and make the interview into more if a back and forth. At the end ask the 3-4 questions you did not get answered,always leave on a positive and don’t forget that thank you email. During my last interview I said I was interviewing them as much as they were interviewing me. They want to make sure I’m a good fit and so do I. Been there 7 months so far and all is going great
Most companies would be happy to have the conversation with Veronica. Training employees is expensive and time consuming, they would be happy to engage.

Skill set B wasn't a desirable on the market while skill set A was in high demand.
It was a waste of our time and it was a waste of his time.
@@macmcleod1188 I hate to be That Guy but - hire > higher in this case.
Yeah, companies that don't value their people can be a pain to work with and for. They try to wedge square pegs into round holes, when the square peg fits perfectly into a square hole that exists and the round hole is brand new and not a great thing.
You know they will do that with whatever people they have who are trying to do the best job possible, but ... I'm sorry you work someplace like that. It's hard.
Same situation happened at my SO's job. They hired a manager who was very skilled at doing certain things and getting his people enthusiastic about it. He was great for the month it took for the company to try to change his focus from what he was great at to something that was the personal project of one of the Front Office folks. He was there about 2 months, total, trying to work things out, before they had to start looking for another department manager because, even when warned, the company stepped forward with the "new" job.
Over 6 months to finally get a department manager in to manage, just because some people can't keep job separations straight in their heads.
Hire someone to do the job you want them to do, not the weird imaginary thing that's NOT what you're hiring for.
15 Questions LOL
These are just the minimum questions for her
@@realtoontribeanimation Veronika is a hero, lol. Love her NYC latina voice too.
Maybe just ask the questions instead of warning there are 15 😅
@@realtoontribeanimationtell us what happened next? rest of questions ??
Yep, this is me.
Employers are usually in control in these situations and don't like a power balance. I was once offered a job and I turned it down due to lower than expected pay and benefits. They then started to berate me for wasting their time. They were in disbelief that someone could receive a job offer and not automatically be grateful and take whatever is offered. I'm glad I passed on that one.
Always ask for the benefits package - a summary will do as long as the plan choices and employee contributions are spelled out clearly.
I guess Veronika can kiss of THAT job, lol
15 questions?!?
Thank you for your time. Have a nice life. Next candidate please.
I love Veronica 😂
A lot of people forget that part. It's as important if not more how you feel working there!
Veronika ain't getting this position. 😂
I think they aren't getting her.
I agree with Azena. This company doesn’t deserve Veronica.
It's so funny because if every job applicant that exists in the US did this, we might see some change in companies lol
Interviewing the company is my favorite part, it takes confidence and practice but putting them in the hot seat is a great way to find out about the company and people
If a company gets salty when you ask about benefits you don’t want to work there. It is the type of company whose HR department plays games.
I used to always say at my interviews, as much as your interviewing me im interviewing you to make sure this is a good fit for ME!
Veronika has a LOT of experience since she’s had 12 jobs in the last three years. She quit or was separated for various reasons. The employer made unreasonable demands, the employer misrepresented the job, the working conditions were toxic, her supervisor didn’t challenge her enough, customers were rude, she was not given special accomodation for her pets, employees were not interested in collective bargaining or union representation, her assigned parking space was too far from her work area, the company would not recognize her “time blindness” and work with her, there were no vegans, dog lovers, cat lovers, bicyclists, recyclers, or joggers, and worst of all, Veronika was more qualified to have her supervisor’s job in almost every case.
That’s right, flipmode on them….fair exchange 😂
"Don't call me, I'll call you" 😂😂😂
"... dont call me, l'll call you..."😂😂
Love your channel! Can you put all Veronika’s videos in a playlist, so we can just scroll and watch back to back, please? Thanks 😊
Those questions are pointless anyway, since they're not going to tell you the truth.
I did this, but the company basically said whatever I wanted to hear without any intention of backing it up.
She cracks me up. Raw and real.
I did this for my current job about career advancement. The hiring manager made it seem easy and natural. Two years in, that same person told me that the organization was flat and it might not be possible. I ended up with a lateral / adjusted title and very little extra money. Whenever I’m told about my promo, I remind the manager that I wasn’t promoted and just have an “alternate title” as listed in payroll.
The “don’t call me, I’ll call you.” is probably what would keep her from getting the job. LoL
100% and any good company would be open to this
I know somebody who did this at her job interviews, and she was surprised at how frequently it threw the "interviewer" for a loop.
15 questions 😂😂
This is actually not new (though not 15 questions long). I've read multiple interviewing books many years ago and they've all stressed the importance of asking questions to those hiring. It indicates that you are prepared, interested in committing to work long-term at the company if hired, and also gives you opportunity to see if the job is best fit for you. This is usually done at long-term career type job interviews rather than simple retail/customer service interviews.
Veronica just needs to set up her own temp agency at this point 😂
If the interviewer finds it strange and/or doesn't want to answer, run!! Any reputable company should be an open book when basic questions are asked. If you go to an interview and don't adk questions, then you deserve what you get. Always ask questions
Here are some questions that deserve airing:
1. If this isn't a new role, how did the last person employed in this role end up leaving it?
2. What is your staff yearly turnover rate? Given that it normally takes two-and-a-half times someones monthly pay worth to replace them, through additional training required, loss of productivity during the training phase, loss of staff morale, etc..., and what are the steps your business is taking to reduce that rate?
3. How do you convince your employees that they're not just a number, or an expense to your business?
4. Does you business have an actual business plan or vision? How much are your employees invested in this plan or vision? Given that your employees' salary will never match the true value of their time, how do you reward them instead to feel like they're valued enough by your business, and vital to its plan or vision?
5. Does your business have an active program to enhance and diversify through training its employees' professional progression so that they can in turn take your business to its full potential?
6. How does your business attract new employees who already have the professional experience and expertise to take your business to its full potential?
7. Is your business plan or vision inclusive and enterprising enough to convince its employees that their loyalty to it is not misplaced or abused, even if they're offered later on better pay rates with other businesses?
8. Are you confident enough that you business plan or vision makes it an industry or market leader? Do your employees share that confidence?
9. Are your employment practices worthy of setting new job market benchmarks?
100% - as a manager I love this! ❤
When she said fifteen questions immediately I was like, I would never remember fifteen questions I would need to write them down lol
Bahahahaaha
I work in HR and I LOVE when candidates ask questions! I get disappointed when they don't. And absolutely you are interviewing the company.
I always do this, tired of wasting time in companies that do not appreciate hard work and loyalty...
😂😂😂😂😂😂❤ V is always letting them have it
This was me in the construction industry 28-years ago. "Please, tell me why I should come and work with you?" The result was I started my own company and a R&D Corp for safety products used in the military and civilian construction, police, and safety. My other company was and remains, "TheSafetySmith".
I wish veronika all the best. She deserves
Can I like this more than once? I am going to do this from now on.
I was 21 and a driller on a rig in West Texas. A man that had started his own oil company was impressed with my work ethic and positive attitude. 6 months later he flew me to his office in Ft. Worth to offer me a job as a drilling superintendent for his company for $18,000/yr I stood up, shaked his hand and said, "I can't thank you enough that you would even CONSIDER me for the position. But to be honest sir, I have to turn down the opportunity as I make $24,000 now and my wants and desires went out of the window the moment I held my first born. My life isn't about me."
I got a call the next day saying that I had the job for $24,000.
This would be a revolutionary perspective several decades ago. Now management and HR hope for and welcome questions from interviewees - it shows they have as much interest in the organization as the organization has in them.
A lot of what she wants to know can be found publicly. The rest could be asked during the interview. I take interviews as a back and forth. Don’t just sit there answering questions. Ask questions along the way and make the interview into more if a back and forth. At the end ask the 3-4 questions you did not get answered,always leave on a positive and don’t forget that thank you email.
During my last interview I said I was interviewing them as much as they were interviewing me. They want to make sure I’m a good fit and so do I.
Been there 7 months so far and all is going great
Most companies would be happy to have the conversation with Veronica. Training employees is expensive and time consuming, they would be happy to engage.
I love Veronika! She is super funny but never ever say this on an interview.
I'm doing this the very next time I interview for a job 👍
