1) Can you handle 12 hour days and some time on the weekends too?
2) Can you perform 2 or 3 jobs at once?
3) How quickly can you get over not having adequate resources?
4) Can you handle telling every customer "yes"
5) We're hiring more managers and letting some staff go
6) Can you get another keygen or crack for Windows - ours don't work anymore
7) There's a lot of office tension - can you work while others are screaming and throwing things?
8) How many jobs can we get you to do, while lowballing your pay
9) You're going to work the people who've got the personality of a belt sander
10) There's no train-up time, can you fix our propritary, legacy mess right now
11) We're like "Office Space" meets "The Office" meets "MMA", except for the funding
12) How can I spin our self created disaster into us doing you a favor by hiring you
13) Because that mistake is nothing in comparison to you taking this job

That's a good one! I love it. It will definitely show the integrity (or lack thereof) of a job candidate.

the employer....
I've never suggested or done a crack at work (or away from it for that matter)
Been asked to do one several times....

Have been rather good about it, with education and enforcement. Both were technology companies who cared about protecting their own assets. Both also have relationships with major software companies, so in order to maintain those relationships, have to show some effort.
My current employer can and would fire someone who breaks the rules, though I suspect it would take a major offense, or indication of a history to go the firing route. Still we all took the courses and know our responsibilities.

1) Haven't stopped in the last twenty eight years, so pretty good.
2) Really hard at making less hard work
3) Badly if there's no why, or the why is obvious drivel.
4)No. LMAO. Being allowed to would be nice.
5) The question makes change sound undesirable. I like to introduce change. A flip answer would be way better than most managers I've met.
6) I'm very good at getting more out of what's in place or identifying the missing piece in what's available.
7) Up front, face to face and now. Some find this disconcerting.
8) Nothing important has changed in any significant way again.
9) People who say what they mean, do what they say and don't cause me extra work to save themselves some.
10) Come to TR !
11) Cope with the good enough attitude prevalent in business IT, and not get angry when being blamed for the consequences.
12) One where I'm the first port of call when somthing important needs doing.
13) Becoming a contractor shortly before the dot com slump.
So what are my true qualities. More important do I fit or not....

THese aren't bad, but questions 1 - 7 can lend themselves to the candidate telling you how he views himself, not necessarily how he performs.
Effective interview questions should be experiential rather than theoretical, otherwise, though you may get an idea of how he/she thinks, you don't know what kind of worker they are.
This is underscored by a recent report (can't remember the source) that showed the majority of workers feel that they are better than average compared with their peers. Their self perceptions are elevated above reality.

There are many wrong answers to this question such as:
- I hate my job, my company and my boss.
- I???m sick of working there.
- I need more money.
- My co-workers never supported me and were jealous for my work.
- I was working with a small company and now looking forward to work with a bigger one.
- My company makes me work for more additional hours and was paying on a low scale.
At the end of the day, it???s highly recommended to give a good answer that leaves a positive impression while displaying good traits. Some good answers are as follows:
1) I was looking for a position like this which is an excellent match for my skills and experience and I am not able to fully utilize them in my present job as there is very limited scope of growth. I am interested in a new challenge and an opportunity to use my technical skills and experience in a different capacity than I have in the past.
