In about 5 hours I'm going to be interviewing a grad student who we hope to have as an intern during the summer and hire full-time in the fall. This person looks fantastic on paper - great portfolio, experience, glowing recommendation from a professor I respect.
Here's what I have so far, in rough order:
- What kind of work environment do you like?
- In a spectrum between working exactly 9-5 every day, and working super-late sometimes but having a lot of leeway for days off, starting late, and doing mid-day personal chores, what would your preference be?
- What do you do to focus?
- How do you manage your passwords?
- How do you manage your task lists?
- What kind of learner are you?
- How do you break bad news to a client?
- How much money do you need to make now? In a year?
- Are you comfortable doing some sales that would support your employment?
- Can you describe you'd draw the line between a client that is good enough to be kept, and bad enough to be fired?
- What do you think of our hometown?
- What kind of stuff do you do outside of work (with no obligation to be detailed past their level of comfort)?
