A job interview can be one of the most stressful experiences of your life - as you try to put your best foot forward.
And while you're busy trying to be on top of your game, employers are looking for signs of the type of person you really are.
Many employers are listening to much more than what you say in your interview and one boss thinks he has the perfect test to decide if someone is a good employee.
Trent Innes of software firm Zero Australia uses the trick in every single interview - reports the Manchester Evening News.
Whenever someone comes in hoping to bag a job, Trent will take them on a walk deliberately past the kitchen and make sure they come away with a hot drink.
After the interview is all done, Trent watches to see if the person offers or attempts to take the empty coffee/tea cup back to the kitchen.
It's an easy way to find out how selfless someone is. If they just leave their cup at the table and leave, they won’t get the job.
Speaking on a podcast, Trent Innes said: "If you do come in and have an interview, as soon as you come in and you do meet me, I will always take you for a walk down to one of our kitchens and somehow you always end up walking away with a drink.
"Then we take that back, have our interview, and one of the things I’m always looking for at the end of the interview is, does the person doing the interview want to take that empty cup back to the kitchen?
"You can develop skills, you can gain knowledge and experience but it really does come down to attitude, and the attitude that we talk a lot about is the concept of “wash your own coffee cup”."
