Mark Zuckerberg reveals his one rule for hiring at Facebook

As the founder of one of the most success companies on the planet, when Mark Zuckerberg gives job advice it’s a good idea to listen.

Speaking at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, the 30-year-old Facebook CEO revealed the main thing he looks for in a prospective employee. And the answer is simple.

“I will only hire someone to work directly for me if I would work for that person,” Mr Zuckerberg told the audience. “It's a pretty good test and I think this rule has served me well.”'

Mr Zuckerberg, who has a net worth of around $35 billion, said that he and his team looks for people whose values align with the company’s.

“When you’re young you hear that you don’t have experience to do things, that there are people that have more experience than you. I started Facebook when I was 19

“Don’t discount yourself, no matter what you’re doing,” he added. “Everyone has a unique perspective that they can bring to the world.”
