Interviewed for a Supervisor position and I feel like the question that got the most out of me was "How would you describe your management/leadership style?"

Don't be hesitant to get technical as well to assure that they really do know what they put on their resumes

why not get technical with them. it will show how in the weeds they can get.

ask about career path. ask about employees they have mentored. employees they have had trouble with.

Ask what they likes and disliked about their current manager

Ask what they are good at and what they still need to work on

Do you think fart jokes are funny? Totally throws them off their game and I genuinely care about the answer

c. The anxiety-ridden waiting game
