A single position at a computer company

Post by johnwich19 » Wed Aug 21, 2019 8:48 pm

Hi all,
Two young engineers applied for a single position at a computer company. They both had the same qualifications. In order to determine which individual to hire, the applicants were asked to take a test by the department manager.

Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to the first applicant and said, "Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the job to the other applicant."
Thanks

The manager probably saw your first post on DWC and decided not to hire you.
No, it's not Tourettes.

Waiting for the spam to drop. Prove me wrong.

Person thinks "I know, I'll post an old and not particularly funny joke as my first post on a dive watch forum and leave out the punchline, that will be great!" :rolleyes:

Spoiler alert...

"And why would you be doing that? We both got 9 questions correct," asked the rejected applicant.
"We have based our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you missed," said the Department manager.
"And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?" the rejected applicant inquired.
"Simple," said the Department manager, "Your fellow applicant put down on question #5, 'I don't know.' You put down, 'Neither do I.'"

This is similar to the one last week. Single posts across multiple sites.

That’s how they do it. Drop in an odd, but harmless post, then come back later to drop in spam.
