FREE online courses on How to Become A Great Interviewer - Some Good
Questions To Ask
With your patterned interview sheet in hand, you should be
able to get the basic information you want from each candidate. When you want a
candidate to clarify or elaborate on a response to reveal initiative,
motivation, attitude or management/organizational skills, Try this:
What career accomplishments are you most proud of?
How do you feel about being closely (or loosely) supervised?
What did you dislike about your most recent job?
What did you do to change it?
What are your goals for the next two years? Next five years?
What have you done to continue your education that is related
to your career?
What does "job security" mean to you?
What job values are important to you?
What do you think of your most recent boss?
How do you feel about doing routine work?
What is your supervisory style?
Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a marginal
employee. How did you discipline him/her? What was the outcome?
What positions have you held in trade, professional, civic or
charitable organizations?
Don't discuss money on the first interview unless you are
ready to make an offer at that time. Discuss compensation after you've
determined that a candidate can do the job.
