Ask about your own strengths and weaknesses, first wanting to understand you as a person.
Ask about your own strengths and weaknesses, but then latch onto your weaknesses and ask about them three more times.
Another thing that personally made me very uncomfortable was that the interviewer wanted to hear the reasons and circumstances behind why you left your previous job. After you explained them,
they would pick out your words, amplify them, and repeat them, completely disregarding the circumstances surrounding the candidate’s departure at the time.
No one likes changing jobs; there is really no need to make candidates describe so many experiences of leaving previous jobs.
It felt very disrespectful toward the candidate’s individual work history, and the overall experience was very unpleasant.
