Are you a goal oriented person?  Asking this question in your next round of interviews is a dead end yielding very little information about the candidate in front of you.  You want to hire a person who is focused and driven by purpose.  With such a brief time together in an interview, you have to ask specific questions aimed at getting information to determine if the candidate is a suitable fit.  Here are 7 questions centered around goal orientation to get you started.
