    What have you learned from mistakes on the job?

    Here you have to come up with something or you strain credibility. Make it small, well intentioned mistake with a positive lesson learned. An example would be working too far ahead of colleagues on a project and thus throwing coordination off.

    Of course, I am. I am looking for the best place to apply my abilities, and so far this place looks excellent.Side note - if you sent the resume, rather than went on a recommendation from a friend, it would be obvious you sent it to other places as well.

    Do you know anyone who works for us?

    Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. This can affect your answer even though they asked about friends not relatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if they are well thought of.

    Tell me about a problem you had with a supervisor?

    Biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if you will speak ill of your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem with a former boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive and develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor.
