Hope you are all having a good weekend

JobInterview Question

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."

um...... i dunno if i let anyone drive my car.....


i would just stuff the girl in the back (no back seat) and let grandma ride in the trunk. and my buddy of course, in the front. fucking A - done deal.




ps. if she dont want to get in the trunk, could strap her down to the roof.

I would take woman of my dreams. I dont care if the old person dies and my friend is strong enough to stand there and wait for the bus.

I think the more Professional answer would be "I wouldn't stop for any of them, being as i am headed to work 10 minutes early, so i can get things done alot faster, and work a little harder pushing those sales."

I think my answer is more 'outside the box' AND they'll think "Damn he's smart. Even i didn't think of that... Lets hire him."

Depends on wich car I was driving....and what kind of mood I was in. If the girl was Kelly Clarkson there would be no doubt in my mind what I would do though ;-)
