I was Interviewed for a Sales Manger Position, my Interviewer ask my about the CEO of their Company main Client, for luck I know him, then he asked my about the procurement Manger of the Company Main Client
Yep, I gree Interviewing sales reps is a critical part of building a team. Accordintly share the own experience, interviewer ask me how to sales your last company ( products ). For new job and new step that is very comfortable question for ever, I can explain very well the sales process and SOP. That is my interview experience that was particularly memorable?

One interview I'll always remember was with a candidate who really impressed me. She knew a lot about our product and market, and she seemed genuinely excited about helping customers. What made it stand out was how she asked thoughtful questions about our company culture and values, showing she cared about fitting in well. It made me realize that attitude and enthusiasm matter just as much as skills and experience when building a team.
A good question is: can you remember a time where you had a difficult situation and how did you handled it? because it really makes the you think about your qualities and ability to work under pressure, and handle real-life scenarios.
a bad question is: why should we hire you? it's just overused and pointless.
The most memorable interviews for me are not necessarily those where I was 100% confident about the candidate's answers. In fact, the ones I remember most are those that evolved into pleasant conversations, where the person showed themselves as they truly are. In those moments, you feel the need to bring that person into the team because you see their potential to contribute to its growth
I remember once I gave an interview at a Tech company and he asked me a question "Sell this pen to me" i was like what is the role of pen in tech services?
Yes one time I was interviewed for an internship and asked my strenghts and weaknesses, and when I said that I was a very compassionate person the interviewers took it very genuinely from my honest demeanor. I think it is very important to be open and relay who you are as a person because it includes strenghths you naturally have.

The WORST question in my option would have to be "where do you see yourself in 5 years" that question stresses me about in an interview because if I don't get hired I will clearly being working for someone else or for that company. One of my favorite questions is "why do you think you'd be a good fit with our team?"
My best interview question was Why I'm a good fit for the position, because I had a lot of interest in that category. My worst interview question is where I see myself in 5 years because I wasn't too sure what career field I was interested in.
