8. What other qualities would make me a good fit?
9. Behavioural question- Leading a team with differing opinion
10. Behavioural question- Leading a team on an unusual project, a project that was not my cup of tea and how I delegated to someone?
11. Questions for her.
I took my time in the Behavioural questions because you need time to arrange answers in STAR format.
Also, I took the opportunity to ask questions as a way of demonstrating additional skills, as in if I am about to ask about the MBA association, I asked this way, "I was thrilled to learn about the MBA association as I have already won the college elections in my undergrad once and it would be amazing to campaign and win this time as well. Could you tell me how the students are elected and how they form the new clubs?"
