Five important interview questions
1. Motivation for the field
Why is the candidate drawn to this industry?
2. Expectations of the role
"What are your expectations of this role and of our organisation?" This reveals the candidate's motivation and how well they fit.
3. Long-term career goals
Understanding how candidates see their development within the organisation signals commitment and potential to grow.
4. Work-related stress
Explore which situations the candidate may find stressful and how that affects them.
5. Ability to collaborate
Assessing collaboration skills makes sure they will integrate and communicate effectively at work.
Further guidance
Follow-up questions matter a great deal. Interviewers should encourage candidates to expand on their answers for deeper insight.
