What questions are typically asked in a job interview?

Question

I will be in charge of hiring an intern and have never conducted an interview before. I have been interviewed for jobs in the past, but I'm having trouble remembering many of the questions I was asked. Can you give me some good interview questions that I can ask? Nothing too hard though, I don't want to scare them away

Answer 1

There are mainly three types of questions hiring managers like to ask.

First type: technical question (by asking these you will know if they have the right background and experience)

Second type: human resources question (by asking these you will know how the person handles stressful situation)

Third type: explain previous negative employment (if they are terminated, hiring manager will want to know why)

Please see some articles on job and interview, hopefully it will help you select the right candidate.

Google turns up a LOT of results for this, try it.

Usually interviewers ask questions to get a feel of the potential employee's personality, skills, work habits and priorities. You'll also want to see how they would react in certain situations, such as a tough customer.
