If you were making the hiring decision right now, would you
pick me over the other candidates—and why?
This was the best question I was asked by an applicant. This
question was particularly good because the interview was for
a sales position. This question showed me that the person
wasn’t afraid to know what objections “the customer”—me!—
really was thinking about.

I don’t have any experience, so can I get a job in
management?
That might be hard. You may be overqualified.

What do you pay me if you fire me?
Don’t worry. We’ll never have to deal with that issue.
