Ok so I'm in a position that I've never done before. I'm going to be hiring and firing, so I need some questions to ask for the interview process.
I would ask what they know about at and t something like that. Maybe something like why do they want to work for at and t. how do they feel about team work. how do they feel about selling. what to them is important in a sales pitch. maybe something like that. if its a guy you're interviewing ask if they find you attractive, maybe you'll get a date......
Maybe ask them about a time when they went above and beyond helping a customer. Ask them their strengths and weaknesses. Stuff like that. Ask them about past jobs and what they liked and didn't like about them.
When I interview prospective employees, I have 2 favorite questions. 1. If I called your current supervisor, what would they say about you? 2. What would your coworkers say about you?
Good ones. Also ask if they could change one thing about their present job, what it would be. Also their present boss.
interview them football style. show them some cell phones and their specs, then ask them to go up to a white board and write as much as they can remember.....
Bro I just got home. I will try to help you out. What is your best quality? How do you seeing that being a benefit here for us? What quality needs improvement? What did you like best about your last job, and what was your least favorite? Are you a self starter? Do you take initiative, or wait to be told what to do? Do you work well with others? Do you thrive in a retail environment? What do you do in the case of dealing with an irate customer? Have you experienced this before. Are you customer friendly? Do you like dealing with the public? With all the other candidates out there, tell me why I should hire you over the rest of the applicants? Best of luck bro.
Working in wireless for four years, I can tell you ffic's irate customer question is a good one. I would ask them to also read and interpret a wireless bill. You would be amazed that roughly half the customers I see can't do it. So any prospective employee better be able to explain the charges.
This is not a question to ask, but something as an interviewer you should watch for. Body language, do they act nerves or are they confident. Is there a lot of umm..ummm.ummm.. in there answers (can indicate lying) A question to ask, have you ever stolen from an employer? It is an integrity question. Anyone who has worked more the a few months more then likely has. A pen, made copies at work etc. Also hit them with, What would you do if you caught someone else stealing? Because if you do hire them, then the will wonder, if only for a while, who is watching them. Just some things I picked up as a manager.
Also: ask them to tell you everything they know about your company; what you do, how many employees, market share, etc. It goes to how interested they are in the company as opposed to just a job.
I interviewed a lot of people in my previous job -- some of my favorites: 1. Tell me about your most difficult customer and how you handled the situation. This question shows you what THEY consider "difficult" as well as how they dealt with it. 2. Where do you see yourself professionally five years from now? Typical, "expected" answers show they haven't thought about it or don't have any set goals; you want someone that has the desire to "grow" and "move up in the ranks" versus someone that is complacent with their job (at least in MY opinion). 3. If I were to ask your boss how reliable you are on a scale of 1-5, what would he/she tell me? You will find this out when you check their references, and it's a good indicator of how the applicant perceives his or her own reliability. Just a few thoughts --
you're right i can't read, but i can see through enough to know, you're rocking the women's lingerie again.
FWIW if you're looking for honesty and you ask someone "what do you hate most about the job" and they answer "serving customers" give them points for honesty and hire them.. cause that seriously pisses prospects off if you don't. you either want honesty or you don't.
Just because I like frilly see-throughs doesn't mean you have to tell everyone. They feel so good on my skin, btw.
