With someone whose position I was interviewing for (in industry): “If you had budget to staff one additional position in your team that hasn’t existed before, what type of position would that be?” This question produced a lot of insight into current challenges and direction

I like to ask what success looks like I'm a position. might not be super relevant for consultants since it's project based but for most stay jobs or even on a by project basis it helps to see what the manager or whomever wants to see out of you

My response is inconsequential.

I did great in the three interviews I did to get my job because I asked each interviewer “are there any gaps in my resume that you think may hinder my ability to do this job well?” And then you rebut their response, saying how you plan to fill that gap or state a relevant experience that you have.
