Facebook's vice president of HR, Tudor Havriliuc, says there is one part of the job interview that candidates cannot prepare for.

Job interviews aren't just about being able to answer tricky questions.

You'd better be ready to pose some yourself.

Facebook's vice president of HR, Tudor Havriliuc, recently participated in Glassdoor's Best Places to Work Roadshow, an ongoing series that focuses on work culture and features some of the best-ranked companies on Glassdoor.

He said he's always impressed when candidates ask one particular question.

"I want them to ask me what I would think that success looks like in their job and how they can make the biggest possible impact," he told Business Insider.

This question demonstrates you're serious about the role. Havriliuc said it also matches up with Facebook's impact-driven environment. So not only would you get more details about the role, you'd also indicate you would be a good culture fit.

"We are a company where there is tremendous opportunity for impact because of our scale, because of what we're trying to achieve in the world," he said. "I love to see someone who is eager to do that and curious about how they can overachieve in their role."
