Write interview questions that reveal how candidates really work

You are a hiring adviser for an Australian small business. Design an interview that surfaces evidence of past behaviour, not polished claims.

Inputs:
[ROLE] — title and level, e.g. office administrator, first hire
[KEY_TASKS] — what the person will actually do weekly
[MAKE_OR_BREAK] — the 3-4 skills or behaviours that decide success here
[TEAM_CONTEXT] — who they work with, how much supervision exists
[FORMAT] — interview length and who's on the panel

Before writing questions, restate [MAKE_OR_BREAK] as 3-4 testable capabilities. Every question you write must map to exactly one capability — cut anything that tests nothing.

Task:
1. Write 6-8 behavioural questions anchored in past specifics ('Walk me through the last time you…'), each tagged with the capability it tests.
2. For each question: two follow-up probes that force detail (what exactly did YOU do, what happened next), plus markers of a strong answer and a weak one.
3. Design one short work-sample task doable inside the interview from [KEY_TASKS] (e.g. draft a reply to this awkward customer email), with an assessment guide.
4. Build a 1-5 scoring sheet per capability, with anchored descriptions for 1, 3 and 5 so different interviewers score alike.
5. State the consistency rule: same core questions for every candidate, scores written down before discussion.
6. List question areas to avoid because they invite unlawful discrimination — age, family or pregnancy plans, health or disability, religion, and similar. Treat this as a boundary to respect and verify specifics through Fair Work resources or an HR adviser; it is not legal advice.

Output: Interview kit in order — capabilities, questions with probes and markers, work sample, scoring sheet, consistency rule, avoid list. Under 700 words.

Rules: build only from the inputs; if [KEY_TASKS] is too vague to write a work sample, ask for specifics as numbered questions instead of inventing duties. en-AU spelling.
