This is a question that was asked in a job interview. Let's see your opinion. I will tell you later who got the job.

You are driving alone a bit late and it is raining. Your car can take only the driver and one passenger. While you pass a bus stand you see three people.

One is a friend who has been driving you home, sometimes going out of the way, during the time when you never could afford a car.

The other is a feeble old woman, who might die of exhaustion and illness waiting to go to the hospital.

The third is someone who at first glance you feel has all the features of the dream mate you had in mind for all these years, but could never meet.

You know buses are few along that road and might take another one hour to arrive and anyone will jump and accept your offer for a lift. It is also drizzling a bit and could rain anytime.

Remember there is room only for the driver and one passenger in your car.

What will you do?

I have been in tight squeezes before, I would get my dream man to put the old lady on his lap and my friend to squeeze in the front seat with me. I would get caught by the police and fined but what the hell, I am very unconventional and would prefer to get in trouble than leave three people standing, I hate making such choices so would prefer the police to fine me. I would stay in a cell over night but an old lady would be saved, my dream man would bail me out and my friend would make me a slap up meal when I got out. Couldn't be bad could it?

You are so considerate and ready to sacrifice. Pity I can't give more than one best response.

Let my friend take my old beat up truck and drive the old lady home. I'll take the bus home with the hot chick.

Good! You just got the job. What would you like as perks? A brand new Ferrari for the two of you?

That is exactly what the person who got the job is supposed to have said. You kill three birds with one stone.

I would pick up the old woman, weather the interviewer agrees or not, it's the right thing to do.
The others should understand if not, too bad.


myLot reputation of 83/100. josephperera (2422)   ranked 2,067 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  5 years ago

That is the obviouse selection because the other will only get late. But the person who got the job did not leave a single stone unturned. Both his friend and the old woman were served and he/she could spend more time with his/her dream mate, by giving the car to his friend.


myLot reputation of 59/100. suitsme (2559)  5 years ago

This was my first thought because I have a rule not to ever let anyone use my car. My luck they would rob a bank and use it for the get away car. A car is too valuable to me.
If my dream man was really there he would understand and help the woman in the car while asking for my number.
He would explain and keep the other person company as they waited for the bus.
I guess it wasn't the job for me.

Never be honest in a job interview. If people were honest, the answer to "Why do you want to work with us?", would be, "Because, I need money to buy soup" in 90 per cent of the cases. Even to be the president of USA you must know how to address the people. Not how to be honest.

I have my own website in which I promote job applicants. So many have found employment in Sri Lanka through it. Pay it a visit sometime: www.slbrains.com
