“Whenever I interviewed a prospect for a staff position, I carefully avoided details about what I was looking for and then about 20 minutes into the interview, I asked the greatest interview question ever. “Joe, talk about the best job you’ve ever had. You’re driving home after work and all of a sudden it hits you. ‘Wow! That was a really great day at work!’ Tell me. What happened at work that caused that little celebration?” Joe’s eyes light up. His interviewee nervousness disappears and what gives him joy at work quickly oozes out. I’ve never seen anyone manufacture an answer to that question.”
