Today I was reading
this 10
questions to ask an interviewer to checkpoint my own hiring of candidates.
Often I talk to candidates about purpose of my projects and how the project may
be relevant for a candidate's experience. In some of the startup projects I had
done within my BIG company, I had to think about the elevator steps to climb to
ship the v1. In the context the funding in terms of number of heads and how the
product ships to customers are important. However for a startup the funding is
a more important area. I applied the same lens of purpose, funding, and
relevance to the 10 questions from Mashable. And here is the list to consider.
Mashable does a nice way of collecting the information from many folks in
startup to provide more depth. Thanks Mashable!
