Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about a time you helped a coworker who was behind on their work.

What would you do
This shift runs 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Does that work for you long term?
