Inspiring Story

A well known company with a good name was hiring. It was known to be of high diffculty to get into that company. 6 candidates were selected to attend the final interview.

However, at the interview room, the interviewer found 7 people attending the interview instead. Thus he questioned.. " May i know who has attended this interview perhaps by mistake? Its the final interview of XXX company.."

A man stood up and said, "Sir, its me. I was actually elimated on the 1st rnd of interview, but i wish to attend the last round of interview with your company.. I think i qualify because I have knowledge and asset that others do not possess.."

The interviwer asked with a puzzled tone... "What qualities do you possess?"

Man: " Although i do not have high qualifications, but i have 10 years of work experience. And i have worked for 12 companies over past 10 years!"

At this point of time, all the other candidates laughed at his speech.. Even the ah pek pouring tea and coffee at the door also could not endure it no more and burst out laughing...

Interviewer: "Yes, although i am impressed that you have 10 years of work exp, but you have changed 12 companies over 10 years and that is not impressive. It implies you are a job hopper?"

Man: " Nope.. I am not a job hopper. Those companies that i have work for before all closed down when i have joined them."

Interviewer: "!!!"

All the people laughed even louder the man stood up to walk out of the door... The tea ah pek walked over to pour tea for the interviewer.. Everyone was agasped.. he stood at the door way and said..

Man: "It was not my fault that the companies closed down.. I have tried with my colleagues to salvage the situation but to no avail. What i have gained is to learn from their management mistakes and learnt what went wrong. What people learnt is how to be successful, but thre are so so so many different ways to what can go wrong and what can cause downfall.. This is something i have learnt that others do not know over the past 10 years. I also know that the real invigilator for this interview is not this sir, but you sir, the one pouring coffee for us."

Everyone was shocked and impressed by his short yet powerful speech. The ah pek looked at him and said.. "Impressive... You have been hired.. Because i am curious how you know that the real interviewer is actually me, the CEO if this company.."

It takes someone with a gd sense of observation and experience to see from little action and the look of one's eyes to know that the ah pek was the interviewer. It also impressed the ah pek the man's positive outlook of life that he did not blame the world for his fate that the companies he joined all closed down and took to learn from the mistakes to be put to better use.
