Questions to ask applicants during interviews...ideas?

[SideWinder]

I'm starting to carry out interviews for my manager for a vacancy in my team. The chosen applicant will be reporting to me and i was wondering if you guys had any good interview questions that i could ask?

My company provide quideline questions (main questions and follow up ones, 20 in total) but i wanted to find a few more that i could ask.

I haven't interviewed anyone before so i thought it would be good to be prepared etc!

Cheers.

I think this is a silly idea... just ask questions relating to the role.

You've not even stated what the role is.. if people post generic questions in here and you start asking them then it's like you're asking a bunch of bone questions for the sake of it and wasting both your time and that of the applicants

Some of the questions my company provided include generic ones (can't find the exact quotes) asking about occasions they have dealed with a strong character, where they would like to develop themselves etc.

The role is for an assistant in the Production department of a large online fashion company - managing product flow (physical samples) through the department (in a nutshell).
