These are the interview questions candidates hate the most

When Elon Musk interviews someone for a job at Tesla or SpaceX, he'll probably ask you: "You're standing on the surface of the Earth. You walk one mile south, one mile west and one mile north. You end up exactly where you started. Where are you?"

Most people correctly state the North Pole, But then Musk will ask where else it could be. Few can find another possibility, which is somewhere close to the South Pole, where, if you walk one mile south, the circumference of the Earth becomes one mile.

• The hardest question is, "How many gas stations are there in the United States?" Interviewers want to see how you think more than if you get the correct answer.
• "You have one minute to persuade me to buy this pen." Here the interviewer wants to see how well you execute basic sales tactics.
• "Where do you see yourself in five years?" The interviewer wants to see your commitment to the company and what your ambition is.
