Job Interview Question

[kayo]

MODS: I f7cked up the poll.. Can I change it??? (Or else delete it) ??

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

2. An old friend who once saved your life.

3. The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car.

Think before you continue reading. This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.

You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect dream lover again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble

coming up with his answer.

He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend, and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dreams."

Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box.

Yes, it's very clever (and Oh so simple).

Put the old lady in the boot. Tell your friend to get the bus and drive off with the girl.

Unfortunatly there was not 'outside of the box' option.

How about pretend not see any of them, and go straight home to see the woman of my dreams - gives my mate chance to impress. and get off with, the girl and enhance his karma further, by saving the old woman.
