- If (current employer) were to replace you tomorrow, what should they look for? I’m referring to personal skills, not professional skills.
- Small talk about class visit.

- What kind of leader are you? (asked follow-ups asking for specific examples)
- Why did you enjoy (varsity sport from college)?
- If we called you and said there is only one seat left in the class and 10 candidates remaining, what would you say differentiates you?
- What do you do when you have a really bad day?
- What TV shows do you watch? (I gave a reality show as an example, and the interviewer asked me who had been eliminated the previous night)
