Questions are hard to predict, here are some I ask. If you don’t get asked these questions, you can still work the answers into your conversation.
“What work have you done that you’re most proud of?” “Why?”
“What do you see out in the world that you wish you’d done?” “Why?”
“What do you want to do in your next role?”

You can also ask those first two of anybody you talk to and it will give you something some idea of their sensibilities and creative ambitions. Good luck.
