■ How did you fill downtime at your last job? ■ What situations kept you from fulfilling your job duties or from coming to work on time at your last job? ■ What do you feel is an acceptable amount of days to be absent in a calendar year? ■ Think about the last time your manager critiqued your work. How did you respond? ■ What about your character makes you a good candidate for this job? ■ How have you responded in the past when you found another employee was stealing? ■ Priorities often change suddenly throughout the day. If you are asked to quickly do another task, how does that affect your mood? What if it's the third time before noon? ■ How do you handle situations that could cause you to be tardy or absent? ■ Tell me about your last performance review. What was mentioned about how you could improve? Any re-occurring themes? ■ How have you responded in the past when your replacement calls in sick and a substitute will take over an hour to come in? ■ 24/7 operations are like relay races where you take the baton, run with it and then pass it on smoothly. How do you make seamless transitions on shift changes? ■ During the last year, when your replacement hasn’t shown up and your manager asked you to stay late, what percentage of the time have you stayed late? ■ Give an example of when you did something without being asked. Can you give me another example?
