Tell me about a situation where you felt you were under pressure in a prior job. Decision Making: Tell me about a difficult choice you were faced with and how you made the decision. How did people impacted by the decision respond? How did you feel? How long did it take to make the choice and did you involve others in your decision? What process do you use to make a decision? What prompts you to make decisions? Cooperation & Teamwork: How have you helped a co-worker in a prior job? Describe some of the people you have liked to work with?

Open Minded: Tell me about a time youve changed your mind when presented with a different viewpoint. Describe the most difficult person you ever worked with and what you did to make your working relationship work. Investigator Even when the candidates work experience is in other fields, s/he should be able to draw on examples where s/he exhibited the competencies you are looking for. (Note that some of the sample questions in this section refer to an imaginary candidates previous jobs.) Dependability: When was the last time you missed work and why? How did you handle a situation when you couldnt make a delivery on time (related to past work experience on resume). Explain why you chose to handle it in the way you did. Problem Solving Skills: Describe the most difficult situation youve been in as a security guard and what did you do?

Humane Educator Creativity & Innovation: Describe your most challenging audience and how you dealt with them? What made them challenging for you? Why do you think what you came up with worked? Tell me about your favorite project and what was special about it. Empathy: Give me an example of a time when a student was unable to understand what you were teaching and how you helped him/her understand. Tell me about a negative experience you had as a student that has impacted the way you teach. Listening Skills: (Note: a good indicator of listening skills is if the candidate is able to answer the questions you ask or if s/he responds with information that is not directly related to the questions. You would also be looking for behaviors such as repeating questions back to the interviewer to make sure they heard the question correctly, and or asking questions to clarify what the interviewer is looking for.) Describe an experience youve had with another person when it seemed as though the communication was not going well. How did you know (specifically what were your cues?) things were not going well and how did you improve the communication? Part of being a good educator is being a good listener. Can you recount for me the things Ive already shared with you in this interview about our mission and the role of the Humane Educator?

How did you get people to fulfill their roles? What was the outcome? What do you think are the most important tools of a leader and give me an example of how youve used each of these at a job or avocation in the past. Integrity & Honesty: Tell me about a time when youve disagreed with a policy or procedure either as a student, a customer, or an employee and how you handled it. What is an example of a time when you think your honesty was extremely difficult but the right and best thing to do. Prioritization: Describe a difficult choice you had to make, what you decided, how and why. Tell me about a time when you had more things to do than time to do them and what you did. Planning & Organizing: How do you structure routine tasks such as grocery shopping, paying the bills, car repairs, cleaning the house? What are the benefits and drawbacks to how you structure these tasks? Tell me about a project you were in charge of - how did you plan the project and organize the work? Were there other people involved and how did you manage them? What were the outcomes? Motivation & Initiative: Describe a time when it seemed like a program or project you were working on was not going to succeed. What did you do, why, and how did it turn out?
