Think about where your strength can become a weakness and what you do to guard against that.

• If I hired you tell me what your three priorities would be when you joined our firm?
• What are you passionate about?
• Of all the jobs you have held where do you feel you have made the most impact and why?
• Give me a specific example of when you saw a problem and solved it without help from anyone?
• I am looking for someone with initiative. . . . Can you prove to me that you are the right person for the job?
• What is the biggest mistake you have made in your career? What did you learn from it?
• What is the one non-work related accomplishment you are most proud of and why?
• What are your long term career goals? How would a job here fit into them?
• What important thing about you should I know that is not on your resume?
• Do you think you would fit in here? Why?
