Hi, Please can anyone share possible interview questions for an HR Advisor position.

Someone asked me recently: "What actually creates a good workplace culture?" My answer? I do not think it is values posters. I do not think it is free coffee. I do not think it is engagement events. I think it is how people are treated on an ordinary Tuesday when nobody is watching. What would your answer be?
I have been applying to so many job postings and only got one interview. I receive so many Thanks, but no thanks letters. Some of which are very good and very personal - not the typical we value your time and appreciate you applying to our organization. I have altered my resume and letter via AI to really try to get "that job", but am 1 of 100's of applicants. I don't have a degree, but am obtaining my SPHR, have 25 years of experience and have taken courses. What else should I do?
I have been thinking a lot about Freedom to Speak Up. It is one thing to have a route for people to raise concerns, but it is another thing entirely for staff to actually trust it. If the national structure changes, local visibility matters even more. What makes you feel safe enough to speak up at work?
I had an exit interview recently where the employee said: "The job was not the problem." It was the team culture. That stayed with me. We spend a lot of time talking about pay, workload, recruitment and retention. Yet so many people leave because of how they felt every day at work. Have you ever left a role because of the culture rather than the job itself?
The typical one: Can you give an example of a difficult employee relations situation you've handled and how you resolved it?" This is your chance to show them your skills. Good luck!
Thank you
My top 3: Can you provide an overview of your experience in HR and your specific expertise? How do you ensure compliance with relevant employment laws and regulations in your HR practices? How do you manage competing priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced HR environment?
Thank you
Maybe something along the lines of "Can you give an example of a difficult employee situation you have resolved? How did you handle it?" "Describe your role in conducting employee onboarding and orientation programs." or even "Can you explain your familiarity with HRIS systems and other HR software/tools?"
Thank you
