What's one interview question you ask every prospective employee?
I'm fortunate that a bunch of my founding team
is still with me,
and we were friends off the bat
so we can be very comfortable with each other.
So, I'd say the first question I ask is actually,
"Tell me your story."
It may seem pretty simple,
but really what I'm looking for
is creativity,
honesty,
and probably the most important characteristic
that no one ever talks about
is sense of humor.
If you can't roll with my existing team
and laugh at the same jokes as us
and get done at the same pace as us,
then you can't contribute to the team,
and that would be horrible for you.
You don't want to be in an environment
where you don't really feel
like you're part of the family.
So, I'd start from there.
What's your story?
