I'm on a committee to interview candidates for a director of operations position at my work. I can't think of any good original questions. Can you all help me out?
I work for a private university. The position is campus director.

Since most Institutions of Higher Learning employ people with GREAT senses of humor, I suggest playing your Avitar on a big screen behind you as you conduct the interview. :2purples:

I can't think of any good original questions. Can you all help me out?Here are some that I use:
What was the most complex report that you ever had to write?
What will your current boss say when you go in to resign?
What do you think are the essential qualities of a good director of operations here?
Tell me about a project that you were unable to complete, and explain why you were unable to complete it.
What type of person do you get along with best?
What are some of the things you find difficult to do?
What would you say is your biggest flaw?
After the candidate tells you about a particular project or task they accomplished, ask follow-up questions such as:
What decisions or judgement calls did you have to make in that area?
What achievements are you most proud of in that area?
And the old standbys: Tell me more about that... or I'd like some more details about that....
A couple of general interviewer tips. The candidate should do most of the talking. Often candidates will ask you questions in an attempt to get the spotlight off of them and onto you. When that happens, say, "Let's please finish my questions then you'll have an opportunity to ask me anything you'd like." Also, don't worry about "dead air." If the candidate is silent while thinking of a response don't worry about it and don't feel that you need to fill the silence with words.
Good luck!
