Hello, I'm looking to put together an interview packet for interviewing prospective leasing agents and managers. Anyone have a list of questions you commonly ask or just a favorite question?

At the end of every interview I always set a 60 second timer on my phone and have the person I’m interviewing talk about themselves for an entire minute. I just say for the next minute, tell me about yourself. I won’t interact with you, it’s your turn to talk. Most can’t make it that long. It’s the most telling part of my entire interview, every time. It’s always where I know what decision I’m making.

I like to ask them why they want this job. Its very telling also.

I'm not part of the hiring process but I fee like this question tells a lot about someone. If you were on an airplane and your tray was super sticky would you fly that airline again? I find it very telling on personality. Me, I would make the issue

One question I ask as part of my interview process when I am looking for a job is. "If your company is going on a first date what would they say about your company and what impress would it give" love the feedback I get. It is very telling on what the person thinks of his/her company.

With the in-person interview, I ask them to sell me something they have with them. Maybe a purse, jacket, or whatever. If they like it they can sell it.

“Why do they want to be a Leasing Agent?”. You can find out a lot about their understanding of the industry. I like this much better than “Why should I hire you?”. I am confident you will get a much more thorough response and less pause time where they are trying to think of the “right” answer.

1) Give me five words that describe you as an employee?
If they answer in sentences they weren’t listening.
2) Tell me about something you recently read and what you took away from it?
Tells me if they can read the lease or any other document and explain it to residents.
3) What was your first paying job ever and what did you learn from it? It’s a fun question and gives insight into work ethic.
4) How do you know when you have done a good job?
“I just know, I feel it; is the right answer. “ i know when someone tells me.”
Second statement tells me I️ need to be prepared to give what potentially could be a lot of feedback.

Me: Who is your current supervisor?
Interviewee: Melissa
Me: (Writing Melissa's name down) What's Melissa's phone number?
Interviewee: (Me writing Melissa's phone number) 123-456-7890
Me: (Pretending to put phone to my ear) Ok, if I called Melissa right now what would she say about you?

Candidates become very candid with their response as they feel that you are truly going to speak to their supervisor. My favorite question!
