Barbara Corcoran asks all job applicants the same question

“Where do you see yourself in five years?”

“What are your weaknesses?”

Don’t expect to hear these stale job interview questions from “Shark Tank” star and businesswoman.

In order to find a qualified candidate with a positive attitude, , the 70-year-old real estate legend leads with one prompt: Tell me about your family.

“If talking about their family couldn’t give them a positive attitude, there’s nothing I can do that’s going to change it,” she said .

That doesn’t mean Corcoran, who founded an eponymous real estate brokerage, only brings on employees with charmed childhoods.

She wants to know more about life experience — does that candidate stay positive despite challenges, or does that person complain about every personal hurdle they’ve faced?

“Early on, I hired people at the Corcoran Group who had all the markings of great salespeople, but they were not happy people,” she wrote on LinkedIn. “I learned that if you have just one unhappy person in a team of 30 happy people, you feel that weight and it brings everyone down.”

One LinkedIn commenter offered an example of a good response: “I would simply say something like, ‘I struggled to have a great relationship with my parents, but that has made me focus on having the kind of relationship I always wanted with my own children.”

Corcoran might also ask “what do you like?” or “what’s your hobby?” to “weed out unhappy people.”

The end goal: to find employees with attitudes that bring positivity — and, as a result, productivity, to the workplace.
