9 Questions To Win the Interview Before It Starts

Welcome to High Speed Dreams—where every week, you gain one powerful strategy to speed up your job search and land a dream role.

Today, you’ll uncover my favorite questions to ask in prescreen interviews. The same ones I used to land multiple job offers—the exact strategy my clients land offers at dream companies like Google, Accenture, Nvidia, Airbnb, and Nike. 🙌

Most people blow the interview before they even shake hands.

Why?
They walk in with zero leverage.
No intel. No plan. Just vibes.

Top candidates?
They ask the recruiter smart questions.
They walk in already playing offense.

Here are 9 questions that separate the A-players from everyone else 👇

1️⃣ What types of questions does the hiring manager usually ask?
So you know if you’re prepping for behavioral, technical, or strategy.

2️⃣ What made my profile stand out?
Double down on whatever got their attention in the interview.

3️⃣ What does success look like in the first 3–6 months?
Now you know the scoreboard. Align every answer to hitting it.

4️⃣ Should I lean into my experience, strategy, or culture fit more?
Every company has a preference. Position yourself to match it.

5️⃣ What’s the biggest challenge the team is facing right now?
This is your chance to sell yourself as the fix.

6️⃣ What 3 skills is the hiring manager prioritizing?
They’re literally giving you the cheat sheet. Use it.

7️⃣ What’s the hiring manager’s style—structured or casual?
Adjust your delivery. STAR method vs. straight talk.

8️⃣ Are there any concerns about my profile I should address?
Neutralize objections before they get brought up in the room.

9️⃣ Any tips to leave a strong impression?
Sometimes the tiny tweaks are what get you hired.
