In a job interview, former Google recruiter Nolan Church suggests that candidates should ask the question, "What’s the No. 1 problem I can solve in the first 30 days?" This question serves multiple purposes.
Firstly, it allows candidates to assess if the job aligns with their interests and problem-solving preferences. It also provides insight into the team's openness to new ideas. Additionally, understanding the critical problems during the interview helps candidates prepare for success in the role from day one.
Church emphasizes the importance of not only securing the job but also strategizing on how to achieve quick wins for the team's benefit.
