Over the years, REMEDI has developed a list of interview questions that we use when hiring consultants, associates, and full-time placement candidates. Some of these questions have been developed internally, and some with the aid of interviewing best practice resources.
Although technical skills are very important when it comes to IT positions, we feel it is equally as important to determine how a person handles difficult situations, how they like to be managed, and to what they attribute their past successes. Below is a shortened list of some the questions with links to a more complete list.
TOPIC OPENER
Tell me about your first job in this field.
Tell me about your leisure-time activities.
SELF-APPRAISAL
I see from your resume that (achievement, accomplishment)....You must be very proud of that.
How were you able to (achieve, accomplish)..?
What would you say makes you successful in what you do?
SITUATION-BASED
Would you prefer to work for a boss whose strength is technical skiills or one whose strength is managing and delegating?
Let's imagine we've hired you and you are having your (6-month, 1 year) performance review. What might (your boss) say about your work during that review?
