If you were trying to recruit an Information Systems Officer, as per  this job spec, what questions would you want to ask them in a technical interview?

Just, you know, wondering, out of curiosity, like.

I interviewed people for a job with fairly similar technical requirements (though more programming). We gave them a written test where they were asked to review some code and some HTML to review for accessibility, and also some short questions about SQL/databases, XML/XSLT.

In the interview we made them give a presentation about how they would improve HTML/CSS (which was more relevant for the type of job) and I asked them about their experience. I also asked them a little bit about the tools that they used and why, and how they checked their HTML etc. was standards compliant.

But there are tons of different things you could ask - I've been given multiple choice tests at interviews for instance, mostly designed to check that you're not bluffing about your experience and also been asked to do things like write SQL queries.

Sorry, I missed out 'last week' from that first sentence.

Good suggestions, thank you!
