3. What kind of person does best at this type of work?

4. What kind of challenges does your work provide?

5. What is a typical day like?

6. What do you find stressful about your work?

7. What is your work environment like?

8. How much time do you spend working with people?

9.Is it a secure field in terms of earning potential and future demand?

10. How much variety do you have on the job?
