Hi friends,
Be careful while you are answering, no one will get a second chance to impress.
Very impressive questions and answers.
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 his answer was?
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:
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 if one morning you woke up and found that you were pregnant?
Girl - I would be very excited and take a day off to celebrate with my husband.
Normally, an unmarried girl would be shocked to hear this, but she managed it well. "Why should I think of it in the wrong way?" she said later when asked.
Question 4:
Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate. The coffee arrived and was placed before the candidate; then he asked, "What is before you?"
Candidate: Instantly replied, "Tea."
He got selected.
You know how and why he said "TEA" when he knows very well that coffee was kept before.
(Answer: The question was "What is before you (U - alphabet). Reply was "TEA" (T - alphabet). Alphabet "T" was before alphabet "U.")
Question 5:
Where would Lord Rama have celebrated his "First Diwali"? People may start thinking of Ayodhya, Mithila (Janaki's place), Lanka, etc., but the logic is, Diwali was celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna killing Narakasura. In Dashavatara, Krishna avatar comes after Rama avatar. So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated Diwali at all!
Question 6:
The interviewer asked the candidate, "This is your last question of the interview. Please tell me the exact position of the center of this table where you have kept your files."
Candidate confidently put his finger at a point on the table and claimed it was the central point. When asked how he knew it was the center, the candidate replied quickly, "Sir, you are not likely to ask any more questions as it was the last question you promised to ask." And hence, he was selected because of his quick-wittedness.
This is what the interviewer expects from the interviewee.
