Excellent! Candidates for the Indian Army were asked "What is the colour of
the wall behind you?" Almost all turned around to see the wall behind them
and were disqualified. The smart ones looked at the wall in front and told
the colour because in most cases, all 4 walls are of the same colour.
My uncle was asked at an interview: "Does your mother stay with you?' He
replied: "No, I stay with my mother." Presence of mind!
Question 1:
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night,
It's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see
three people waiting for a bus:
An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to,
knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?
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 mate again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up
with his answer. Guess what was 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 partner of my dreams."
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought
limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside the Box."
Question 2:
Again in an interview a Candidate was asked
What will you do if I run away with your sister?"
The candidate who was selected answered
" I will not get a better match for my sister than you sir"
Question 3:
Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What is one morning you woke up
& found that you were pregnant..
Girl - "I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my
husband."
Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed it
quiet well & was selected. "Why I should think it in the wrong way", she
said later when asked
Question 4:
Interviewer ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate.
Coffee arrived & was kept on the table in front of the candidate,
the Interviewer asked, what is before you?
Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea"
He got selected.
Now most of us would be wondering why did he say "TEA" when he knew very
well that coffee was kept before him & why was he selected?
Answer: The question was "What is before you 'U' - the alphabet
Reply was 'T' - the alphabet
Question 5:
Interviewer to the Candidate: "This is your last question of the interview.
Please tell me the exact position of the center of this table.
Candidate confidently put one of his fingers at some point at the table and
told that this was the central point at the table.
Interviewer asked how did u get to know that this being the central point of
this table?
the candidate answered quickly
"Sir u r not to ask any more question, as that was the last question that u
promised to ask"
And he was selected because of his quick-wittedness.
This is what Interviewer expects from the candidates.
"THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX"
