I always ask:
If you could write a job description for your ideal job, what would that look like?
If you have more than one offer on the table, tell me what criteria you will use to rank those offers?

My sense is that the ideal job evolves over time; different life stages have different needs and priorities. When you boil it down and listen to many people, there are three things you consistently hear that are universal and important 1) ability to learn, 2) making a significant contribution 3) establish a connection with the values and purpose of the company. In the final analysis, the other elements are secondary.

When I have to compare a few job offers, I usually consider:
1. My personal career benefits: will I learn , be promoted or elevate
my CV
2. Do I relate to the business environment of the company/project
(will it interest me, can I contribute and when I hear the job
description - am I passionate about it)
3. Do I like my interviewer, the physical environment (building,
sitting arrangements etc’)
4. Location: distance from home, traffic, parking, public
transportation, will I feel safe to walk at night, restaurants
nearby (yes, it crosses my mind too :-))
5. Availability: working hours, traveling expectations
6. Salary + benefits

I think that my ideal job should have flexible working hours first of all. Secondly, for all people should be created the opportunity to leave a job any time if they have some important things to do. Thirdly, the work should be near the homes. I think that would be my ideal jog.
