  • Professional Growth:
    • What were your biggest professional accomplishments this year? Did you learn any new skills?
    • What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them?
  • Career Satisfaction:
    • How satisfied are you with your current role and company? Are you aligned with your long-term career goals? What aspects of your job bring you the most fulfillment?
