I ask candidates to tell me about something they created they are proud of, and why. All you have to do after that is listen.

  > I ask candidates to tell me about something they created they are proud of, and why. Never be proud of anything that you created - since it probably is not of "top of the world quality". Even in the rare case that it is - it is very likely that even "top of the world" can still be improved.

    No offense, but that's pretty sad. I hope you find more rewarding work before you retire. We're only on this Earth once.

      I love my current work (in research). But it is nothing that I would ever claim to be proud of. Doing work on top of the world level is not something to be proud of, but a minimum qualification to be even suitable for research.

  Believe you’ve just learned how culture specific this question is.
