Last week my cleaners threw out a whole bottle of pills. This week, they arranged my leftover bacon in a wooden bowl.

Three cooked strips of bacon laid on a paper towel inside a wooden serving bowl on a white kitchen counter.

Great questions. Don't save these for the end of the interview, either. Ask them upfront if you can.

taylor desseyn @tdesseyn.bsky.social · 2d

things you should ask when interviewing for a role:
-why was this position created
-is it a new hire all together
-did someone leave and im filling it?
-if a person left what were they lacking that you really needed
