Job Interview, how would you answer?
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 woman who appears that she is about to die.
2.) An old friend who once saved your life.
3.) The perfect man/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 morale/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.
You could pick up the old woman, 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 dream lover again.
The candidate that 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 woman to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dreams.
How is that for thinking outside the box? Do you wish that you thought of that answer? Maybe you did?!
