- Whether an applicant was often late, or missed a lot of working days.
- Whether an applicant preferred to work alone or in a team.
- What an applicant’s biggest achievement was while working for a company.
- Whether a former employer would rehire an applicant if the opportunity arose, and why.
- How an applicant handled working under pressure.
