In this episode of Career Convos with Nikki, I dive into three important interview questions that can help you avoid landing in a job that doesn’t fit your style or goals. Drawing from my own experiences, I talk about why it’s crucial to ask about what it’s really like to work somewhere, the leadership style of your potential manager, and why the last person left the role you’re interviewing for.

I share real stories about dealing with micromanagement, toxic environments, and how knowing the right questions to ask can save you from frustration and burnout. Whether you’re fresh out of school or several years into your career, understanding the culture and management style of a company can make all the difference in your job satisfaction and growth.

If you’ve ever wondered how to read between the lines in an interview or how to get clarity before accepting a new role, this episode is packed with honest advice and actionable tips to help you take control of your career journey.
