A question NOT to ask during your job interview!
What are the duties of the role?
The manager is interviewing you with the expectation that you’re there because you’re eager to perform the duties of the role. Understanding the role’s duties should happen before the interview begins.
Instead, ask questions that hone in on soft skills or specific aspects of the role.
For example, you might ask, “What do you think are the most important ways this position contributes to the company mission?” #AWU #disability #interview

Navigating Work Friendships: A Fine Line
Work can be a breeding ground for friendships. Shared experiences, deadlines, and inside jokes can quickly forge bonds. But is that colleague a coworker or a friend? Here is my opinion
Things to Consider:
Professional Boundaries: Keep work and personal life somewhat separate. Oversharing can create awkward situations.
Office Gossip: Avoid getting caught in the rumor mill. It can damage reputations and create a toxic environment.
Favoritism: Be mindful of showing favoritism towards certain colleagues. It can breed resentment and impact your professional image.
Confidentiality: Respect confidential information shared within the company.
Getting Too Close?
Close work friendships can be rewarding, but they also carry risks:
Potential for Conflict: Disagreements at work can easily spill over into personal relationships.
Jealousy and Resentment: If one person benefits more from the relationship (e.g., promotions, favors), it can create tension.
Impact on Career: Close friendships can sometimes cloud judgment and make it harder to give or receive constructive criticism.
The Bottom Line:
Work relationships can enrich your professional life, but it's important to maintain healthy boundaries. Cultivate respectful and professional interactions while enjoying the camaraderie that comes with a supportive work environment. AIG
