5 interview questions to ask candidates

Here are 5 interview questions to ask candidates and job applicants that I have found useful over the years:

1. Tell me about yourself?
2. What motivates you?
3. Why this position, business and industry?
4. Where do you see yourself in 3-5 years?
5. What can I answer for you?

Additionally, I spoke about 5 interview questions to ask employer which is the other side of that same coin. Finally, I would love to learn what are some of the questions you like to ask or have been asked during interviews?
