But it doesn’t have to happen again.
Because online CV builder resume.io has put together the ideal resource to prepare for that next big opportunity. Its researcher gathered 13 of the toughest interview questions from successful business owners and created a guide on how to answer them effectively.
The questions include this logic problem from Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk:
“You’re standing on the surface of the earth. You walk one mile south, one mile west, and one mile north. You end up exactly where you started. Where are you?”
Figured it out yet?
You can find the answer below, as well as some top tips on what to do if you’re ever left scratching your head in an interview.
The guide also covers how to handle those tough questions and curveballs that interviewers like to throw at you, including
- Describe yourself in three words
- Tell me about a time when you made a big mistake at work
- What would someone who doesn’t like you tell me about you?
And it explains the rationale behind those interview questions that seem entirely unrelated to the job you’re applying for. Smashing these will really make you stand out from the other candidates.
Check out the complete list below, then start jotting down some of your responses. Because if you’re prepared for these interview questions, then you’re ready for anything.
