Chapter 11: Looking Good with Questions You Ask 147

In your place, I’d probably be wondering how my children are cared for

during the day. I may be concerned that I’d miss work should they become ill.

Let me explain my very reliable childcare arrangements to you. . . .

After hidden objections see daylight, you have a chance to shoo away ele-

phants in the room that are standing between you and a job offer.

Asking Certain Questions Very Carefully

Handle questions to potential employers about their own performance

with great tact — especially when a Millennium-generation candidate asks

them of a Boomer-generation boss. Proceed with caution into territory like

the following:

✓

How would you describe your management style?

✓

Do your employees admire you as a boss?

Although you need as much information as possible to make good job

choices, asking a potential boss these kinds of questions in the wrong tone

of voice may make you seem way too audacious. Moreover, direct questions

about personal characteristics and values tend to elicit pure topspin.
