    Marie... I'm not sure what you consider "standard questions," but here are a few that might be considered a bit "off the wall."
    Describe the personality of your firm... if it were an animal what sort of animal would it be and why?
    Describe your best agents... what sort of characteristics do they have and what are they doing? (You could ask the same about the worst ones.)

    Marie Barakat commented on Calvin Curry's article: I liked all steps except step 5. I'd have to agree with Janet on that one. When I walk into a store and get the pushy sales associates that won't just let me look without hassling me, I get out of there fast, even if I like something. I wouldn't be able t...  more
