Answer 5

Question 1:

Ask them what it is that interested them in applying for the position?

Question 2:

Ask them how they would help your company and in what ways if they were chosen for the position.

Question 3:

Ask them to give you an example of a situation that they have been in in a previous position where their input, or work helped out..... what the situation was and how they helped.

Question 3:

Ask them what type of work they are expecting to do from the position and why they might have chosen a career path here.

Question 4:

Let them ask you any questions that they may have about the position and give them a roundabout, allowing them to answer themselves.

Make sure that you ask them to have a seat when they come in the room. If they sit before you have told them, or asked them to, then they are lazy.

Make sure that they keep close eye contact, this lets you know they are trustworthy and honest.

Make sure they do not stutter, touch their faces, wiggle their feet, or flip their hair. This tells you they are shy, or nervous.

Good luck.

Answer 6

what the others have said are good. You generally want to know basic questions on there education, but mostly what type of worker they are. I had an interview and they asked me if they were going to make a book titled'101ways to use bricks' then what are 5 of the ways? They wanted to see if I thought outside the box.

Answer 7

Research their job and their company, if you don't and you ask questions that you can find on the Internet you will look kind of dumb. But by doing research questions will come to you that the information provided will not answer; ask those questions. By doing this you will look professional and smart, but be careful not to ask questions that are too personal or confidential.

Answer 8
