What is the one thing you hate currently about your job?
Recruitment staff are really helpful planning for these questions. Values alignment - which of their values do you feel you align with most, and why. Needs prep to think of actual experiences you can share that illustrate it. Another question is 'what has gone wrong in one of your past experiences, and why' - really helpful to discuss what you've learnt from past experiences.
