Key Interview Questions

When interviewing potential hires, skip the generic questions and focus on what reveals real character and drive. Ask why they left their last job—how they answer tells you whether they take responsibility or shift blame. 

Follow up with, “What’s your six-month goal?” to gauge ambition and alignment with your shop’s direction. The best responses show awareness, growth, and specific intent, not vague promises. 

Hiring people who know where they’re headed helps build a motivated, self-driven team that lifts the entire shop.
