When Shake Shack founder Danny Meyer interviews job applicants, he likes to ask a couple of his favorite questions.
"It gives me a chance to actually see the person and see how they see themselves."
Meyer's other favorite job interview question, he said: Tell me about something that happened in your life, before you turned 12, that you think had more of an impact on you today than anything else.
"The point is that whatever that story is, you then get a chance to talk about how did it change who you are today," he said.
"I'm looking for honesty, vulnerability, willingness to grow, looking maybe for a little growth mindset."
