There is no one silver bullet interview question, but there are some great ones that I like to throw out.
My favorite this month,
"What was the last big mistake you made, and what did you do to correct it?"
The best employees will describe a mistake they made at work and give you details on what they did to make it better.
The mediocre employees will give you a lame answer about a copier breaking down, or
The rebellious employees will tell you about when they shot their boss in a paintball game.
The incompetent employees will tell you they never make mistakes.
The employees just taking a paycheck will talk about their spouse or children.
The young employees will talk about their social lives.
What would you do?
