i had "tell me a little about your favorite book and why you liked it so much" once. i thought it was a terrific and unusual question but the man interviewing me was a classic good ol boy (he even went so far as to comment on my interview clothes  ) so the imp in me took over and after a brief synopsis of the book, i said—all wide-eyed innocence—that not only was it was a great story but it also managed to intelligently demonstrate how strong a woman is even if she doesn’t have a man in her life, but how especially strong friendships between women are. i don't think i had appreciated that as much as i should have until i read that book 
and i always liked the how questions. “how would you…”and then insert some job-specific problem or challenging task, or insert something general like ‘encourage open communication’ or ‘mentor an intern’, etc. |
