The prompt that gets copied

I'm interviewing for a [JOB TITLE, e.g. kitchen prep cook] at [YOUR BUSINESS].
What matters most: [TOP QUALITIES, e.g. reliability, speed, keeps area clean]
What went wrong with past hires: [PAST PROBLEMS, e.g. late for shifts, quit in 2 weeks]

Give me:
1. Eight interview questions about real past situations ("Tell me about a time..."), grouped by the qualities above
2. For each question, what a strong answer and a weak answer sound like
3. One short practical test I could run in 10 minutes, if it suits the job
4. A simple scorecard, 1 to 5 for each quality, to fill in right after each interview

Keep every question about the job only: nothing about age, family plans, health, religion or other personal topics. Use plain words.
