Beating the employment trap !

Beating the employment trap: Enjoy it


Bill Gates organized an interview to recruit a new Chairman for Microsoft Europe.  5000 candidates assembled in a large room.
One of them was Jose from Kerala
Bill Gates: Thank you for coming. Those who do not know JAVA may leave.

2000 people left the room.

Jose says to himself, 'I do not know JAVA, but I have nothing to lose if I stay. I'll give it a try !'

Bill Gates:  Candidates who never had experience of managing more than 100 people may leave.

2000 people left the room. 

Jose says to himself 'I never managed anybody by myself, but I have nothing to lose if I stay. What can happen to me ?' So he stays.

Bill Gates: Candidates who do not have management diplomas may leave.

500 people leave the room.

Jose says to himself,
'I left school at 15, but what have I got to lose ?' So he stays in the room.

Lastly, Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not speak Serbo-Croat to leave.

498 people left the room.

Jose says to himself,
'I do not speak one word of Serbo-Croat but what do I have to lose ?' So he stays and finds himself with one other candidate; Everyone else has gone.

Bill  Gates joined them and said 'Apparently you are the only two candidates who speak Serbo-Croat, so I'd now like to hear you have a conversation together in that language.' Calmly, Jose  turns to the other candidate and asks "Naattil Evideya?"                                                                                            
The other candidate answers: 'Pathanamthitta'


Both of them selected because Bill gates doesn't know that language !!!!
