Thoughtful questions related to the role that could not be googled

I am always looking for ways to glean their critical thinking ability. So for me, I will ask about something with a pretty challenging question like 'Tell me about the biggest risk you have ever taken?' but more than the answer itself I want to understand the why and any learnings that came from it without me prompting a second question to get there. For me forward thinkers with strong emotional intelligence abilities tend to yield the strongest performers.

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable.
