What will your previous manager or supervisor say when I ask where you needed to improve?
A good answer goes in-depth and reflects positively on both their manager and the work they did, and lines up with other information you've been able to gather. This is one of the top 10 interview questions we recommend for all hiring managers. Candidates will often reveal information here they would not reveal if you asked them "What do you need to improve?"Red flags: Candidates that speak badly of their previous manager, provide vague answers or seem unprepared for this common question.
