HOW TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB?

Posted on by wooway
Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window.
Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door.
Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation.
If they are counting the bricks. Put them in the accounts department.
If they are recounting them.. Put them in auditing.
If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks. Put them in engineering.
If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order. Put them in planning.
If they are throwing the bricks at each other. Put them in operations.
If they are sleeping. Put them in security.
If they have broken the bricks into pieces. Put them in information technology.
If they are sitting idle. Put them in human resources.
If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved. Put them in sales.
If they have already left for the day. Put them in marketing.
If they are staring out of the window. Put them on strategic planning.
And then last but not least. If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved.
Congratulate them and put them in top management.

A lesson to be learned from one typing the wrong email address!

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a

particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where

they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic

schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So,

the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his

wife flying down the following day. The husband checked into the hotel.

There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his

wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address,

and without realizing his error, sent the email. Meanwhile, somewhere in

Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband’s funeral. He

was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack.

The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives

and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted.

The widow’s son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and

saw the computer screen which read:

 

To: My Loving Wife

Subject: I’ve Arrived

Date: October 16, 2004

 

I know you’re surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now

and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I’ve just arrived

and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for

your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your

journey is as uneventful as mine was.
