Job interview questions of the world's most successful leaders

Many CEOs pride themselves on having one or two favourite interview questions that invariably tell them everything they need to know about the candidate.

However, whilst these trusty favourites tend to become clichéd or overused, some top executives claim that their number one interview question is both original and insightful. Business Insider has compiled a list of what some of the most successful world leaders like to ask their interviewees, with some surprising results.

According to the article, Virgin CEO Richard Branson’s go-to question is: “What didn't you get a chance to include on your résumé?”

Zappo CEO Tony Hsiesh has chosen a question as bizarre and eccentric as himself, asking candidates: “On a scale of one to ten, how weird are you?” He told Business Insider that the number the applicant responds with isn’t really important, it’s how they answer the question itself.
