• ask them to be critical of themselves – what don't they do well, perhaps want to work on.
• ask them what role a computer plays in there design process.
• ask them if they were on a deserted island, what three books they would want to have

No matter what position, my first questions always "How do you feel about making mistakes?"
It tells you a lot about a person and how they picture themselves in a client - designer perspective. If they say "oh, well everybody makes mistakes, it's human" - they are thrown out of my room like an informant is to the East River.
Seriously.

how did you get along with your classmates/teachers (i.e. do you like to work as a team or solo)
what does color theory mean to you
did you intern while in school

i was interviewing for a designer a couple of years ago and a visably nervous guy came in, introduced himself, and sat down. I sat there, silent for a few moments looking over his resume. Then I asked, "If you could be a tree what kind of tree would you be?" His face went pale at which point I laughed out loud and said "dude I'm just kidding, relax."
he didn't get the job.

my friends brother gave an interview recently and the interviewee became so nervous he broke out in hives.
they crawled up his arm .. his neck and over his face
the douchebag interviewer decided to pretend he was fiddling with his camera so he could capture photos of his humiliation.

First thing you do is tell them how you take your coffee and then at the end of the interview give them a pop quiz.

so far the (un)lucky candidate will be asked:
the tree question - twice, once followed by I'm only joking and the second time told it is for real.
and the pint question - how they answer the tree question will determine who pays.

Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

(Mar 8 07, 05:18)If the interviewer said that line to me I'd be out the fucking door! Obviously the place is full of wankers.
