Employers use the secret water glass test to subtly test applicants. They then use drinking behavior to decide whether to hire them - or not.

- Normal drinking is a sign of self-confidence and adaptability
- If applicants wipe up spilled water themselves, this indicates a sense of responsibility
Five tips to impress in an interview
- Understand the requirements of the job and show how your experience and skills fit in.
- Emphasize similarities with the company to gain sympathy points.
- Arm yourself against uncertainty by preparing well and appearing confident.
- Communicate your strengths through storytelling and examples from your professional practice.
- Use non-verbal techniques such as appropriate clothing, body language and mirroring the interviewer to make a positive impression.
In a podcast, Trent Innes, former CEO of “Xero Australia”, revealed his controversial method of testing applicants: the coffee cup test. In the 16-minute podcast episode entitled “The secret interview trick to recruit the right employees”, Innes explained at the time that he always took his applicants to the office kitchen to offer them a drink - whether it was a cup of water, tea or a cup of coffee.
“Then we take the drink back to my office and conduct our interview. One thing I always pay attention to: does the applicant take their empty cup or coffee cup back to the kitchen or not,” he said. Anyone who didn’t do this would not have gotten the job, said Innes, who now works as Chief Growth Officer at “SiteMinder”.
