The questions that give me the most information are:

What did you like about the last (or current) job you had?

Why are you looking to leave? (or left?) If its a layoff I always follow up with Were you happy with your job when you were layed off? or Were you surprised by the layoff?

It usually gives me a sense of the employee's motivators.

And I haven't been wrong in a long time.

Thanks for your comments, Jennifer and Steve!

I always like to ask #2 - Tell me about the best Boss you've worked for (and why), as well as the opposite - Tell me aobut the worst Boss you've worked for and what made that person the worst (in your opinion).

I find I get some of the most revealing answers from people in terms of culture fit and whether or not they will be successful in working with the hiring manager from these two questions!
