In case you’re wondering if you have any chance at all at working for Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg, here’s one thing that you need to know.

The billionaire said: "I will only hire someone to work directly for me if I would work for that person.”

"It's a pretty good test and I think this rule has served me well."

He added: "Facebook is not a company for everyone in the world."

Facebook, although internationally successful, is one of the toughest technology companies to get hired by due to its small staff especially when compared with other Silicon Valley firms.

Mr Zuckerberg said: "The most important thing is to keep your team as small as possible.

"Facebook serves more than a billion people around the world but our team has fewer than 10,000 people. It's only possible because of modern technology. Big companies get bloated."
