Do just a little research on the company that you will be interviewing with. Even if it's not a question, throwing out a statement about something that you know about the business that everyone else may not would look great to a potential employer. They would know that you care not only about the job, but are actually interested in the company. This goes a long way. Check it out. You will certainly come up with some sure-to-impress questions or comments. Good luck! ;-)

If you are the one doing the interview... school? Mock interviews? It's way better to give more details to help those out who are trying to answer.
I have hired a lot of people. It's the questions outside of the job application that help determine the character of the person.
"If you could do anything and knew you could not fail, what would it be?
This question shows imagination, dreams, family values and a glimpse of what they think could be possible with no limits.
"Describe in detail your idea of a perfect day.
What day of the week, temperature, where, what, food, who's with them- let them think about it. It shows priorities, how much thought they put into activities, what lengths they will go to insure it's a success.
"Who is the person you most admire and why?"
Tells you a lot about who they could become if all the stops are removed.
Answer these first yourself- makes you a better interviewer and who knows, maybe a better person. Good luck. Be blessed.

The best advice I heard for creating a good interview is to LISTEN to the responses of your opening questions and build more questions BASED on the responses of the person being interviewed.
This lets the person being interviewed know that you are really listening and INTERESTED in what they have to say. It lets them know you are not just there to read a list of questions and record them while the speak.
INTERACT with your subject and learn as much about the person and their topic BEFORE you go into the interview.
Find specific things to ask about events in their past. Getting your subject to reminisce is a great way to build up some interesting material and find MORE questions on which to build your interview. This will help you determine the right questions to ask.

Do you know the type of business you're applying to? Check with interviewing books at the employment office. Why do they like working for that company. Research the company as much as you can so you have an idea of their history.

can't help you unless you specify what you're interview is for.
Is it for a social work class? is if for some type of college class? or high school project? Are you supposed to interview a business person? or a social worker?
