Bill Lisowski shares updated information and questions related to the subject matter in the three books he co-wrote: Positioning Success, Earning Success, and Retaining Success. Look for facts and commentary on issues related to business management, leadership, people development and mentoring, process improvement, and current business news.
One of the most critical task a manager performs is interviewing job candidates. For some, trying to figure out good questions is harder than dealing with the open position. Here are some unique questions I have collected to share:
-
What would be your theme song?
-
Can you pull the weight of 3 people?
-
Are you a Cubs fan?
-
What is on your bookshelf?
-
Do you have a problem filling in for a day as a janitor?
-
Define integrity.
-
Do you have a driver's license?
-
Who needs you?
-
What do you want to be when you grow up?
-
When interviewing someone else, what is the 1 question you would ask to determine if that person was a fit to the position and organization?
-
Is there a question I should be asking you?
What questions would you add?
