Great Benefits

"Great Benefits"*

*A woman, searching for a job, inquired about the
benefits. The Personnel Manager informed her
they had group health and life insurance, but the
costs were deducted from the employee's pay.

She said, "My last employer had full health coverage,
as well as five year's salary for life insurance and a
month's sick leave AND they paid the full premiums."

"I cannot help but ask why you would leave a job
with such benefits," the interviewer replied.

The woman shrugged her shoulders and said,

"The company went bankrupt."

"Engineering Test"*

*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."

"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.'"
