I used to ask these interview questions:
1. What is the most unethical thing you have witness or been a part of in either college or your profession?
2. What is the most important thing you have learned?
3. What is the most important mistake you have ever made? Why?
A muslim boss who walked in on the first day and proceeded to tell a woman he didn't like her because she was a woman. Then told a left handed person he didn't like them either.
2. What is the most important thing you have learned?
When it's time to close a door.
3. What is the most important mistake you have ever made? Why?"Important" really doesn't fit the question. Ok, probably calling that to your attention. Guess I didn't get the job.
I ask a variation on #3, i.e. tell me about a time that you or a team you were on failed. Why did it fail and what did you learn from it?
I distrust anyone who says they’ve never failed.
