I\u2019d like to reference a post on CEOconsultant.com<\/a> with a list of 10 great questions.\u00a0 To be honest, I found only a few of them innovative, but those are questions I\u2019ve never heard before.\u00a0 Here are questions 1, 2 and 4 which I loved.\u00a0 You can see their answers to these questions and others in their post:<\/p>\n

Q#1 – How long have you been looking for a job? (Concern \u2013 is there something wrong with you that other employers have picked up?)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019d also be interested in this question because it allows me to ask how they approach the job seeking process.\u00a0 For example, do they use friends and are they heavy networkers?\u00a0 How about if they like trying some of the new technologies in recruiting, perhaps that tells me that they are a bit more savvy in terms of Web 2.0 technologies that I\u2019d want in new employees.<\/p>\n

Q#2\u00a0 – How did you prepare for this interview? (Concern \u2013 are you interested enough to do some research, or are you going to \u201cwing it\u201d?)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

More importantly than just if they came prepared, I\u2019m more interested in how they prepared.\u00a0 Is this an employee that can tap into resources on both the internet and through employees they might already know?\u00a0 Are they comfortable approaching acquaintances to ask for information?\u00a0 And were they able to effectively dig up information on the organization, getting past the surface information that anyone can find.\u00a0 Once we\u2019ve cleared the air that this person can actually do some research, have they then come to the interview with an intelligent set of questions?\u00a0 Are they asking smart questions based on their research that other candidates didn\u2019t have the thoughtfulness or knowledge to ask?<\/p>\n

Q#4 –\u00a0 How do you keep current and informed about your job and the industries that you have worked in? (Concern \u2013 Once you get the job do you continue to learn and grow \u2013 stay challenged and motivated?)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Again a research question, but from a different perspective.\u00a0 Rather than #1 which tells me how they approach a project, or #2 which addressed if that are capable of doing the research, this questions tells me if they are knowledge seekers.\u00a0 Take me for example.\u00a0 Truth be told, I browse several dozen sites and trade magazines on a weekly basis trying to keep up with the HR industry and various other topics.\u00a0 Potential employees who are constantly trying to learn are exactly the ones you want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
