How would you answer this hypothetical question? What would your answer be?...hypothetically speaking...
All of them, there's room for more than 4 people in a car EDIT - Oh, only one allowed - my mate probably lol The old lady and woman of my dreams is never gonna get into a car with a stranger anyway
I would simply: Call the old lady an ambulance Call the old friend a taxi and pay for it Take my dream lady home with me in the car. But really, only 1 person in the car? Is it only a 2-seater? It doesnt say. Id be picking this interview question apart if i was asked this. Too many damned plot holes i tell ya!
I'm wondering why a job interview would ask you this in the first place hah no, they didn't this job doesn't exist
thank you...I did edit the thread with the word hypothetical...though I thought that would not be necessary?
Yes, I would. If someone asks me a question that is simply as vague as the one asked in the op, and in a job interview at that, then im going to pick it apart. If anything, it shows the interviewer that I am capable of thinking for myself and that i don't attempt to rush in and make decisions when crucial information is missing. I mean, what if i asked the interviewer a similar question: If you've only got one job opening available, who would you give the job to?: 1. An out of retirement 60+ year old who needs a job because their pension doesn't pay out enough to live 2. An old friend who once saved your life 3. The perfect man/woman you've been dreaming about. My question would be more applicable to the situation and makes far more sense, while also giving me an insight the morals/integrity of the company. Not only that, but as per the question in the op, how are you going to convince your dream person to just hop in the car, with you, a stranger, anyhow? How long are you going to be standing at that bus stop? What if they call the police because some weirdo is hassling them to hop in the car? Oh the humanity?
You'd fail your interview. (at least that's how messed up it is here, I've actually gotten questions similar to this, took em apart, doesn't matter, they EXPECT you to pick and it has to be the RIGHT pick according to THEIR OPINIONS) Actually failed an IT interview once, the boss thought I was qualified but the psychologist with him during the interview persuaded him not to hire me. Though if this situation happened in reality: Say hi to the friend Notice the woman being messed up Ask the other 2 for a helping hand and help her together Persuade the other 2 to fetch a drink to cool off (and socially interact concering the situation that just happened with the dieing lady) The young woman wants to but has obligations You end up having a drink with your mate and if possible got the number of the young women to get a cup of coffee or w/e later
Number 1 is the only credible choice. The other two have nothing wrong at the worst except a wait for a bus. Your old friend would insist you save the old woman as he saved you once. Dreams are not reality so choice number 3 is just a fantasy. Here's what I expect for compensation (hands over sheet) take it or leave it.
wat a silly question. why is the bus running at night? why doesnt my friend have a car, or just call a friend with one? anyway its pretty straightforward tbh tho smh fam lol (okay ill stop) but really just pick up the old women & take her to the hospital. no matter wat, she needs help...whether its immediate medical attention or just to be brought home/to her family/whereever she needs to be in her final moments. in this way youre also repaying your old friend for saving your life by letting him hit it off with this apparently perfect woman. lets be honest, the slate would be close to clear if you give him the opportunity of great future happiness. meanwhile dont worry about missed opportunities with that woman too much. i do believe true altruism exists in rare forms, but theres also self-preservation at work here. cmon be realistic - 90% chance she would eventually get bored after settling down & end up divorcing ya...& take half your stuff
- Stop the car, tell the perfect (man) / (woman) you are offering a ride, leave him/her with your phone # and keys tell him/her to take the old lady to the nearest Hospital. Then cover your friend's ticket and ride the bus to the Hospital to get your car back and have an awesome night with that special someone Damn you beat me to it.
This is just new age management bs. Whatever you say is irrelevant, they just want to see if you're insecure, they're trying to unsettle you.
Whichever option you take, you must have confidence in it. DO NOT change your opinion and DO NOT allow them to shake your decision.
give the car keys to your friend, tell him to drive the old lady to the hospital before she is diededed. stay back with the chick
i can see the interviewer now..."your ideal woman...would probably divorce you? huh, depressing" ... "uhhhhh wait you dont understand - let me explain"
