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.

RP : Do you have any questions?

Candidate: "If you were a painting, what painting would you be?"

RP : Welcome aboard Terry..........and your monkey!

"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.
