What interests you about the position; what is your management "style", i.e. how do you approach challenging situations - internal to your area(s) of responsibility and client-facing; provide an example of each; what do you see as your strength(s), weakness(es); what do you believe others see? I felt the Interviewer provided frank, forthright responses to all questions I raised, e,g, what is the length of current engagement; what external risk(s) are being faced that have the potential to negatively impact the continuation of the program, what do the high-level financial and quality performance metrics currently look like?

General questions about student support and program management. One question was about what I would do if I was concerned about the mental health and safety of a student but they had shared zero information about the services the institution offers students for mental health and wellness. I'm not sure how someone who is not from the community or already affiliated with the institution could answer the question with anything beyond generalities.
