1. What are you most satisfied with in your current life?
Through this question, you will know the candidate's motivation and understand more about their interests and life. From there, you will assess the candidate's suitability with the company culture. And if they get to work at your company, you will know what to do to motivate them to work more effectively.
2. Use 3 words that your ex-boss evaluates about you
This requirement helps employers have an overview of the candidate's attitude and work responsibilities through the eyes of others. This question also shows what the candidate's most recent job is, helping you to know what experience they have and whether it is a good fit for the position you are hiring for.
3. What do you usually do outside of working hours?
You can also know the candidate's personality through their hobbies in their spare time, how much time they spend on each of those activities. Hobbies are similar to hard skills and soft skills. So, you can identify more skills that the candidate has but has not been covered in the CV. From there, you can make an easier decision if you are confused between two equally talented candidates.
4. Why do you think you are successful?
People who work with plans and responsibility, they always know what their strengths and weaknesses are. They understand why they are doing it, why they are not productive and they always have their own solutions. They always work with purpose and can answer clearly about their achievements if asked in the interview.
However, there are some people who will answer this question by listing their strengths and ignoring weaknesses. For such candidates, you should rethink whether to choose or not. Because they have not yet recognized their own abilities and do not know where the success they have achieved is due to.
5. When do you feel happiest?
The perception of happiness in each person is different, based on the answer you can understand whether the candidate is emotional or rational. This question, like question #1, aims to understand the candidate's motivations and joys in life. From there, appropriate actions will be taken if the candidate is selected.
6. Name a smart celebrity you know and how do you rate yourself compared to them?
The purpose of this question is to help you see what values the candidate is aiming for through their idol. If their reactions are quick, it means they have been following this celebrity for a long time, this person probably has a lot to learn. And if the candidate hesitates to answer, it means that they do not care about the outside world, they live for their ideals, the values that they aim for are still very faint.
Comparing yourself to a celebrity will show you how self-aware they are and how well they are self-improvement.
