Jesse Zhang(@thejessezhang):I like the "who is your worst reference?" question! I will try it. Some that I have found valuable regardless of role: "Tell me about the most difficult project that you worked on in your life (professional or personal). What was motivating you?" "What percentile would you rank yourself among your peers (you can define "peer")? What separates you from the one ahead or behind?"
