    Bag secured.

    Emily Rezkalla, a career coach who owns Em Rez Consulting , has revealed “example-based” interview questions candidates should ask a hiring manager to land a job.

    In a one-minute clip posted on her TikTok account @emrezkalla , content creator Rezkalla, 29, acted out an interview scenario in which the candidate secured the position due to the clever questions she asked.

    Even when applicants nail every query asked during their interview, they sometimes fall short when the interviewer flips the script and asks them if they have any questions about the role for which they’re applying.

    One of the worst things to do is say “no” because it shows the company you need more interest in and curiosity about the position.

    My boss is often a no-show and it’s causing me stress — what can I do?

    Rezkalla declares that although your brain may feel like “mush” after answering a battery of questions, you must remember that this is your chance for a “last impression.”

    The Canadian says that you must stand out, channel your “star candidate” energy and ask in-depth follow-up questions about the role and company.

    The self-proclaimed “career pivot mentor,” who shares career growth hacks online with more than 194,000 followers, curated a list of questions people should keep in their back pockets if asked.

    Questions you should ask at the end of your job interview

    My boss screams at me constantly — is this normal?

    • What’s an example of how you’d like the star candidate to contribute to the company beyond the job responsibilities?
    • What’s the biggest challenge the team is facing right now that you want the person in this role to resolve?
    • What are some examples of professional development opportunities that you’ve specifically benefited from at the company?
    • What kind of support does the company provide for employees looking to take on leadership roles?”
    • How would you describe the kinds of relationships the person in this role would have with their team and leadership?
    • Based on your experience, how would you describe the people at the company in three words?
    • What’s an example of how the company handles high volume/stress work days for their employees?
    • What’s a project you recently worked on that has gotten you the most excited so far?

    Rezkalla also suggested asking specific questions about your interests, such as work-life balance, career growth and workplace culture.

    “Vague questions will get you vague answers,” Rezkalla said. “Don’t forget to add your flair to the questions, so good luck and get that bag.”

    Many TikTokkers praised the career coach for sharing tips on job interviews.

    “I used your questions and they were blown away! I don’t know if I’ll get the job but at least I made it memorable,” wrote one job seeker.

    Meanwhile, some hiring managers joined the conversation with mixed reviews on Rezkalla’s follow-up questions.

    “I love when candidates ask me about projects I’m excited about,” commented a hiring manager.

    “By the end of the interview, my mind is already made up. None of these questions will change anything,” admitted another.

    “To be honest most hiring managers are hoping there are no additional questions,” one person wrote.

    Despite the naysayers, Rezkalla reminds her followers to ask good questions — but don’t make it complicated.
