Elsie Too Oct 2015 10:44am, 6 Oct 2015 1,502 posts	0 Elsie Too I have a friend that has not had a job interview for 15 years and I'm trying to help her prepare for one next week. I want to quiz her with potential interview questions. The position she is going for is a management position, managing a team of 15 staff. Does anyone have any good questions that they have been asked in a job interview lately or that they use when interviewing people? Thanks for your help.

(unlikely to be put to the interviewee in that way, but they'll expect your friend to have a good understanding of the post they've applied for and will ask a question like that)

BaronessBL Oct 2015 10:56am, 6 Oct 2015 4,641 posts	0 BaronessBL I've been asked to explain /give examples of how I did something well (eg managed a 'difficult' member of a team who wasn't fitting in, did something that brought the whole team together etc)
faithfulred Oct 2015 10:56am, 6 Oct 2015 447 posts	0 faithfulred Can you give me an example of when something did not go according to plan? How did you find a solution? Can you tell me of someone that has inspired you in your career? Why did you apply for this position? Can you tell me something about the company?
