Subject: Newfie job Interview
George applied for a fork lift operator job at a company based
in St. John's. An Albertan also applied for the job and since both
applicants had similar qualifications, they were asked to take a test in a quiet room with no interruptions by the manager.
When the results were in, both men had scored 19 out of 20.
The manager went to George and said, "Thank you for coming to the interview, but we've decided to give the Albertan the job."
George said, "And why would you
be doing that, are you not a Newfoundlander? You say we both got
19 questions right. This being Newfoundland and me being a true
born Newfoundlander surely I should get the job?"
The manager replied, "We?ve not made our decision on the answers you got correct, but on the question you got wrong."
George said, "Geez, bye gum, do tell me now, how would one incorrect answer be better than another?"
The manager responded, Well actually it was simple, on question number 7 the Albertan wrote down, 'I don't know.'
You put down, 'Neither do I'."
