Looking for interview ideas...

If you had the chance to interview the President/CEO of a major company, what would you ask? I might have an opportunity to play reporter instead of photographer in less than a week.

Define success.

What percent of success is based on luck and what percent is based on skill?

Twenty years ago, where did you see your self today?

What qualities do you look for when choosing your company's leaders?

How do you balance your home life with your busy schedule?

Who do you look up to?

What have you read in the last two days?

What's that dream job you would leave it all for?

Is it real, or is it Memorex?

Thanks I had all those except for the last one. I was trying not to use the typical questions. I came up with these questions.

Do you think this business is recession proof?

With the cost of oil going up, will it influence the contracts that your company has with its current customers?

Do you see possible consolidations within the industry that you are in, and are you actively looking at buying out or taking over your competitors?

Will the cost of fuel make a difference in the ability for your company to keep its employees? Meaning, do you think that fuel will make it too expensive for some employees that commute from a far distance to work for your company?

Will the housing market or the local economy affect your company?

Is California still the ideal state in which to maintain your company headquarters in regards to the higher cost of living in the state competitively to other states?

Which has a bigger influence in your business, the government, the competitors or the customer base?

Is there a unifying goal between the different organizations within the different divisions of your company?

For the potential customers that currently cannot afford your service, do you have any long term plans on creating a product that will allow them to become a paying customer?

Your business is similar to another business, but deals with people instead of objects. Do you see a possible consolidation between the companies in the other industry and yours since the business is very similar?

Not allowed to disclose at this time, but it is in the health insurance industry.
