LOL. After reading your question it's unclear to me whether you're interviewing perople, or being interviewed? :D So I'll do some for both...

Good interview questions (if you're the interviewer):
* Describe the type of company you're looking for in terms of culture and values?
* Tell me about a time when you made a mistake at work. What was it? And how did you correct it?"
* Tell me about a difficult decision you made -- what was it, and how did you deal with it?
* Tell me about a situation where you took a risk at work. What happened?
* Tell me about yourself (wait to see what they say, and how quickly they ask for input)
* For a sales job...I once used "Sell me this pen." -- it worked wonderfully.

If you're interviewing for a job (the interviewee):
* Tell me about the culture of the company...what are your values? How do you make decisions? Do you value risk takers? etc
* What types of people get promoted here? How does it happen?
* Describe the ideal person for this job?
* Who filled the job last? Why did they leave? What made them successful in the position? What could they have done better?
* What do you like best about working for this company? What could be improved?


I hope these help...

At the moment I'm looking to be the interviewer... but you never know when I might be sitting on the other side of the table. I left it open as I also want to be prepared for the types of questions I might receive in return.

why did your last job end.... and its a good idea here not to be negative about your last employer.

Who are our competitors? Based on your research, what do they do better than we do? How do we excel?
