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.
thats good

The answer? - "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."

Outside the box thinking along with an ethical twist...
nah... i would pick up my girl. let the guy who saved me go about his business and do some more saving starting with the old lady that is about to die.

If you could, what would you change in your last supervisor? Ditto for the company?

Give me a work example when you failed?


Answer these in the right way and you are a candidate. Throw me a canned answer and, while I may still smile, the lights are off and nobody's home.
