First of all, DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING. Ask questions about every aspect of the position. Let them know what they will be responsible for. Look for desired qualities ie: detail oriented, high work standard, team worker, flexible, multitasker, critical thinker, acceptable to constructive criticism, good verbal communication, etc. Interview Questions I use are: Are you proficient with frozen sections? Are you willing to work over occasionally to perform frozen sections? What are your interest or hobbies? Where are your professional goals. Where do you see yourself in 5 years. I always ask one critical thinking question about processing to test their knowledge.

I've not been this "fortunate" before and I do know there are questions one cannot ask so that's not an issue. What I'd like to know is what I SHOULD ask. This position is fairly straightforward - basic veterinary histology with nothing significantly challenging (but with that potential). What would YOU want to know about a candidate that would convince you that this person was The One? I need questions with "meat" to them. Your suggestions will be much-ly appreciated. Gracias!
