How to conduct a great interview

I like to think of interviews as a place where we tell stories. Our stories are what connect us and allow us to see a potential future narrative. I like to open an interview by asking the interviewee to tell me something about themselves. I will then generally ask about what attracted them to apply for the position. I will ask about their short and long term goals. I like to ask about if they ever had a work experience where things didn't go as they would have liked. What was that like? What Happened? What I am listening for is growth and development. I don't care if they fell flat on their face so long as they grew from it. If they can be brave enough to be uncomfortable for a moment an vulnerable then I know they are on board with seeking connection and that is always a good hire.
