What is the first assignment you intend to give me? Where does that assignment rank on the departmental priorities? What makes this assignment a great opportunity?
How many hours of your time can I expect to get each week for the first six months on the job? How often will we have scheduled meetings?
If I were frustrated about my job, what specific steps would you take to help me overcome that frustration? How about if you were frustrated with me? Can you show me examples of what you have done for others in your group in the past year to overcome any frustration?
What are the “wows!” of this job? What are the worst parts? And what will you do to maximize the former and minimize the latter? If I asked the incumbent what stinks about the job, what would he or she say? Can I talk to him or her?
What will make my physical work environment a fun and stimulating place to spend time?
What inputs do employees get in departmental decisions? In hiring and assessing coworkers?
Could I get a chance to see the team in action? Can I sit in on a team meeting? Shadow someone for a day?
What are the biggest problems facing this department in the next six months and in one year? What key competencies have you identified that I will need to develop in the next six months to be successful?
What do you see in me? What are my strongest assets and possible weaknesses? Do you have any concerns that I need to clear up in order to be the top candidate? What is the likelihood — maybe in percentage terms — that I’ll get an offer?
