Filipe Frazao/Shutterstock.com In a column at The New York Times, Adam Bryant reflected on some of the most interesting job-interview questions he's heard over the years. A tech CEO said that if he could only ask one question during a job interview, it would be, "What are the qualities you like least and most in your parents?" How candidates answer can reveal how willing they are to talk about themselves. Their answer can also give a window into what kind of a worker they'll be several weeks down the line. It's rare to find a question so predictive of someone's personality that it could make a CEO want to hire a job candidate on the spot. But New York Times writer Adam Bryant said there's one that comes to mind, based on interviews he's done with hundreds of executives for his "Corner Office" column. The question came from Bob Brennan, an executive director at the software firm CA Technologies who, at the time of his interview with Bryant, was CEO of records-management company Iron Mountain.
