I'm about to be an interviewer for the first time, it is for an entry level role in my team. What's everyone's favourite questions to ask? Anything that will genuinely help the candidates to stand out from each other? It's a supported role with training involved, looking at data and writing reports, but the person will need initiative to learn.

I always ask them, "What are some issues you expect someone in this role to encounter?" I think it is very telling about the role and what you are getting yourself into. It also helps to reveal any red flags.

That's a really interesting one thank you!

It's good to give them room to feel comfortable opening up with questions like "what are you looking for in a work environment" or "what things do you feel are needed for you to want to keep a job long term?"

Everyone knows what to say when asked why they want to get a job but employers should know people's expectations and needs too. They may lie when asked why they'd be a good fit someplace but less likely to do so when asked about the other side of that coin.

Thanks, that's a good point!
