Need help with Interviewing questions!!!

I am interviewing a recent college grad tomorrow, and I am looking for suggestions as to what I should ask her... She graduated this year and had 2 summer internships at the same place.

The job is in finance field, however, its difficult to expect her to know a whole lot just out of school.

Any suggestions??? Its my first time interviewing...

I need some brainstorming:

All I have now is:

-Explain discounted CF

-Future goals (Short and Long Term). How will your major in XYZ and this experience help you achieve that?

-Most challenging class in college

-Have you had a group project not go well right before deadline, how did you handle it as a group and what was your role?


Thank you girls

Re: Need help with Interviewing questions!!!

why did she pick the collge she went to...

tell me about yourself....

weaknesses / strengths...

least favorite class and why....

the future goals one is a little overwhelming...how about 'Where do you see yourslef in 5 years?'

Also, since it is your first time interviewing,m see how the conversation flows rather than playing 'ping pong ' Q& A, so you can get an idea of the chemistry....lemme think of some more...

What do you expect from a company?

What do you have to offer that sets you apart from other applicants?

Why do you want to work for XYZ company?

What do you think are the characteristics of an outstanding employee? (This is a good question to find out if someone thinks coming to work everyday and on time makes them outstanding. Attendance and punctuality should be a given. It doesn't make someone outstanding.)

Re: Need help with Interviewing questions!!!

as someone who just went through those interviews (me being interviewed) I'll tell you a couple of my favorites:

Why do you think you are a good fit for this company (shows we did our HW on the company!)

What is the most intereseting thing about you? (Now, were they trying to see if I had an ego or something? )

Tons of group questions - and I mean TONS!

How did you get through your most boring/toughest class?

If you need me to relive some more horrid interviews for some questions, let me know!
