It’s hard to manage interns (or is it?).

They’re young, energetic, and often require a large time investment. If you didn’t ask for an intern, you might feel that they’re in your way. If your intern isn’t performing well, it may be easy to blame them (though it’s not usually their fault). And, if your intern is costing you more than they’re repaying the organisation, you might start to get a little resentful.

I received a text from a friend who is Head of Sales at a multinational organisation. He has just gained several new sales staff and lost a few already, so he asked me for some good interview questions.
