Having been through a few job interviews myself recently, I genuinely wonder how the interview goes...
"so...can you tell us what makes you a suitable candidate for this post?"
"how would you change the culture at this club?"
"suppose things aren't going your way in, say, 9 months, would you be willing to move on?"
"what is your opinion on facial hair (of the Petrie variety, not rowan vine)?

Probably something pretty boring like a situational questions followed up using the STAR approach.
For the Hibs job the questions will include stuff like:
- can you describe a situation where you have helped your players to stop cacking it from their local rivals
- give an example where you have had to quell a major player insurrection
- describe a typical relationship you have developed with tache-bearing board members
- give an example of a sitation where you have had to discipline a player after they have been a total bell-end.
And that's the easy ones as a starter for ten.

Role playing post match interviews using as many tired cliches as humanly possible.

"Will you be willing to praise the training centre and stadium?"
"Yes"
"Congratulation, you're our man"

I would expect that most of the "interview" would be taken up by LD trying to sell Hibs to the prospective candidate. Sell East Mains, sell Edinburgh, sell her plan, etc.
