Sample scripts
Software Engineer / Senior
"Walk me through your current development workflow from ticket assignment to deployment" Forces specifics about their actual process. Can't rehearse "Tell me about yourself." You'll hear YOUR tools or red flags.
Account Executive / Mid-level
"Tell me about the last deal you closed. What was the buyer's problem?" Reveals if they actually qualify or just pitch. Listen for: problem diagnosis, not feature list.
Product Manager / Mid-level
"Walk me through how you decided what to build in your last sprint" Shows prioritization process. Red flag: "stakeholders told me" with no user research.
Marketing Manager / Senior
"Tell me about a campaign that underperformed. What happened?" Tests accountability and learning. Red flag: blames budget/timing, no metrics.
Customer Success Manager / Entry-level
"Walk me through your process when a customer says they might churn" Shows problem-solving under pressure. Listen for: process steps, not generic "I'd reach out."
Operations Manager / Mid-level
"Tell me about the last process you improved. What was broken?" Reveals analytical thinking. Red flag: can't articulate the problem, only the solution.
