Top 10 interview questions CEOs love to ask

Every office has a BIG Boss. And every boss has a style of his own. From hiring people to firing them - bosses often play by their own rules.

If you’re scheduled for an interview with one of the top bosses of the company you’ve applied for, then there’s no shortcut - preparation is key. Practising answers to some of the strategic questions will not only boost your confidence but will also give you an edge at the time of interview.

Don’t expect CEOs to ask you run-of-the-mill HR-oriented question set. Anticipate puzzling, unconventional, introspective and never-asked-before type of questions.

Don’t sweat it. We’ve curated the top 10 interview questions CEOs love to ask: 

1. Describe yourself in one word.
2. What’s your superpower?
3. If you won a lottery, what would you do?
4. Which was the biggest mistake you made on the job and how did you go about fixing it?
5. What keeps you going?
6. What would you do if the internet went down?
7. What is your favourite day of the week and why?
8. How would your colleagues describe you?
9. Why do you want to work here?
10. How do you define success?

Bonus questions for practice:
