Subject: Re: [SML] interview questions<br>
<br>
Below are some questions I find useful when interviewing folks. I've omitted the one about past job experiences and whatnot because I'm assuming you're not asking for those types of questions.<br>
<br>
What first interested you in this job and why did you apply?<br>
What motivates you?<br>
Why did you choose lighting as a career?<br>
What are your hobbies?<br>
How fo you evaluate success?<br>
How do you negotiate work and personal life?<br>
Tell me about a time when you missed an obvious solution to a problem.<br>
What makes you frustrated and how do you deal with it?<br>
If you were on a non-stop nine hour flight, who would you want sitting next to you on the plane? Real/fictional, living or dead.<br>
<br>
--<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Andrew Vance<br>
Lighting Designer<br>

The opening is for an on call AV technician and I'd like to get a good list of questions to ask. If anyone is willing to share their favorite question or questions they've asked or been asked I would most appreciate the help in building a more complete list of potential questions than I can create on my own.<br>
