The Interview Q & A

These are few questions asked in HR interview! The answers are really stunning and inspiring. Thinking out of the box! A must read...

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.

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 of 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 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 well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when asked.

Question 4:
Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate. Coffee arrived kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before you?

Candidate: Instantly replied “Tea”
He got selected.

You know how and why did he say “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;
Interviewer said “I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult question.

Think well before you make up your mind!” The boy thought for a while and said, “my choice is one really difficult question.”

“Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice! Now tell me this. “What comes first, Day or Night?”

The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depends on the correctness of his answer, but he thought for a while and said, “It’s the DAY sir!”

“How” the interviewer asked,

“Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND difficult question!”

We need to teach our daughters to distinguish between

A man who flatters her
And a man who compliments her

A man who spends money on her
And a man who invests in her

A man who views her as property
And a man who views her property

A man who lusts after her
And a man who loves her

A man who believes he's a gift to women
And a man who believes she's a gift to him

And then we need to teach our sons
To be that kind of a man!

When the wind blows..

Years ago, a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for jobs. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic, wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops.

As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady stream of refusals. Finally, a short, thin man named Jacob, well past middle age, approached the farmer. "Are you a good farm hand?" the farmer asked him. "Well, I can sleep when the wind blows," answered the little man. Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, hired him.

The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man's work. Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the Jacob's sleeping quarters.

He shook the little man and yelled, "Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!" The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, "No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows."

Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarpaulins. The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, and the doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down. Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he also returned to his bed to sleep while the wind blew :)

Happiness on Earth

Happiest being on earth is ...
A parrot
Who is taught god's name or abuses , learns both alike , enjoys doing both ...
imagine sorrow if the parrot knew what abuse is ?

Most sad being on earth is
A fish
Who suffer without world seeing its' tears while a fish weeps !

Most obligating being is  :
A silk worm
Who without even knowing their own destruction enriches world with silk

Here's wishing you
A life of a parrot, never a fish
In that your favours are of a silk worm

A strong woman v/s A Woman of Strength

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape… but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape…

A strong woman isn’t afraid of anything… but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear…

A strong woman won’t let anyone get the best of her… but a woman of strength gives the best of her to  everyone…

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future… a woman of strength realizes life’s mistakes can also be God’s blessings and capitalizes on them…

A strong woman walks sure footedly… but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls…

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face… but a woman of strength wears grace…

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey… but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong

The missing Watch

There once was a farmer who discovered that he had lost his watch in the barn. It was no ordinary watch because it had sentimental value for him.

After searching high and low among the hay for a long while; he gave up and enlisted the help of a group of children playing outside the barn.

He promised them that the person who found it would be rewarded.

Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went through and around the entire stack of hay but still could not find the watch. Just when the farmer was about to give up looking for his watch and most of the kids had left, a little boy went up to him and asked to be given another chance.

The farmer looked at him and thought, "Why not! After all, this kid looks sincere enough."

So the farmer sent the little boy back in the barn. After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand! The farmer was both happy and surprised and so he asked the boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed.

The boy replied, "I did nothing but sit on the ground and listen. In the silence, I heard the ticking of the watch and just looked for it in that direction."

Moral: A peaceful mind can think better than a worked up mind.
Allow a few minutes of silence to our mind every day, and see, how sharply it helps us to set our life the way we expect it to be...!
