Here is something I have used: What single project or task would you consider the most significant accomplishment in your career so far?
· Can you give me a detailed overview of the accomplishment? · Tell me about the company, your title, your position, your role, and the team involved. · What were the actual results achieved? · When did it take place and how long did the project take. · Why you were chosen? · What were the 3-4 biggest challenges you faced and how did you deal with them? · Where did you go the extra mile or take the initiative? · Walk me through the plan, how you managed to it, and if it was successful. · Describe the environment and resources. · Describe your manager’s style and whether you liked it or not. · Describe the technical skills needed to accomplish the objective and how they were used. · Some of the biggest mistakes you made. · Aspects of the project you truly enjoyed. · Aspects you didn’t especially care about and how you handled them. · How you managed and influenced other, with lots of examples. · How you changed and grew as a person. · What you would do differently if you could do it again. · What type of formal recognition did your receive?
