Click Your Fortune #3: Top interview question - Jennifer Indovina
-
0:01 - 0:05What's one interview question
you ask every prospective employee? -
0:05 - 0:07I'm fortunate that
a bunch of my founding team -
0:07 - 0:09is still with me,
-
0:09 - 0:12and we were friends off the bat
-
0:12 - 0:15so we can be very comfortable
with each other. -
0:15 - 0:18So, I'd say the first question
I ask is actually, -
0:18 - 0:20"Tell me your story."
-
0:20 - 0:22It may seem pretty simple,
-
0:22 - 0:23but really what I'm looking for
-
0:23 - 0:26is creativity,
-
0:26 - 0:27honesty,
-
0:27 - 0:29and probably the most
important characteristic -
0:29 - 0:31that no one ever talks about
-
0:31 - 0:32is sense of humor.
-
0:32 - 0:35If you can't roll with
my existing team -
0:35 - 0:36and laugh at
the same jokes as us -
0:36 - 0:38and get it done at
the same pace as us, -
0:38 - 0:41then you can't
contribute to the team, -
0:41 - 0:44and that would be
horrible for you, you know? -
0:44 - 0:45You don't want to be
in an environment -
0:45 - 0:47where you don't really feel
-
0:47 - 0:48like you're a part of the family.
-
0:48 - 0:50So, I start from there.
-
0:50 - 0:51What's your story?
-
0:51 - 0:52Who are you?
