An interview
This was an important question asked during
an interview session by a certain company.
The management has actually decided to employ the person who answered this question most appropriately. There was of course no right or wrong in the answer to this question but it all depends on how each individual answered it.
Read the question below and think of how you would answer it before you scrool down to see the "BEST" answer given by this particular person, who of course got employed.
On a dark stormy night where rain was pouring heavily, wind was blowing wildly, lightening striking and thunder was sounding loudly.....It was 2 a.m. late in the night. You were driving a 2-eater car by yourself on a very lonely stretch of the countryside with this terrible storm when you come to a sheltered bus stop.
There were 3 people in the bus stop. One was a doctor who saved your life previously when you had a heart attracked. Another was an extremely sick old man who seemed like on the verge of the dealth while the third is the dream of your life, someone whom you always wanted to get to know for long time! The stormy weather was getting worse and the three people in the sheltered bus stop were getting wet from the heavy rain. Lightening continued to strike and thunder roared....
The question is : What would you do in a situation like this? Remember, you have only 2-seater car and will not be able to ferry all the three people in your car to move shelthered place. So, what will you do?
Ponder over this situatuion and think of an answer before you scroll down for the supposely "BEST" answer!
There are some strandard answers given by some of the interviewees :
" I will drive the sick old man to the nearest hospital since he's dying soon....."
" Since the doctor saved my life before, I'll drive him..."
" Morally, I'll drive the old man since he's on the verge of dealth or the doctor since he saved my life before. However, for my own welfare and future, I might just drive the dream of my life! "
" It might be fate for me to meet the dream of my life. I'll drive him! "
There are no right or wrong to the above answers, only how the individual preceives the situation. Mostly said they'd drive the old man then followed by the doctor. Several say since the old man's dying and they might not be able to save him by the time he reached the hospitl, they might as well drive the dream of their life and secure their future?!!
So what was the answer that impressed the interviewers so much?
This particular person said " I'll get down my car, pass the car key to the doctor to drive the old man to hospital so he might be able tosave him just like he saved me. Then I'll be able to be with the dream of my life together in the sheltered bus stop.
With this answer, that person got the job immediately.
As human beings, we are naturally selfish. From all the other answer given, none of them actually thought of giving up their car. It is not something wrong but at times, our thoughts are too narrow minded and we think mainly for ourselves. Hope you all learn from this and if your interviewers ask you similar questions, you'll be equipped and be able to answer the question with ease!
hehehe I hope you guys like it, I really like this one a lot! So what's ur answer for this question then? ;)
