Act as an HR consultant to design an interview guide for the {{JOB_TITLE}} role. Your task is to generate 5 behavioral interview questions aligned with these competencies: {{CORE_COMPETENCIES}}. For each question, provide a 'look-for' indicator that signals a high-quality answer. Structure the guide to fit within a {{INTERVIEW_DURATION}} timeframe. Ensure questions are open-ended and non-discriminatory.
