Sonia Gandhi’s tips for cracking interviews

Interviewer So where did you graduate from?

Applicant: Are you saying that one cannot get a job with you unless he graduates?

I: Not really. Take Bill Gates for example. He runs the world’s biggest software co and he isn’t a graduate. But then he has other qualities that compensate. He is smart and has good leadership skills, etc.

A: So are you saying that I am not smart?

I: Hardly. I don’t really know you, so I have no way of knowing whether you are smart or not… I don’t even know if you have any experience at all…

A: Which means that you can’t really say that I will do badly on the job?

I: Well let’s try again. Do you know any programming languages?

A: Which languages are you looking for?

I: Actually we have projects in all major languages…

A: So are you saying that anyone who joins knows all the languages you people work on?

I: Not really, at the most they will know a couple.

A: So anyone who joins your company won’t know most of the languages you work on. So I really don’t see why you are claiming that knowing a programming language is a prerequisite to joining.

I: I must say that I am impressed by your logical reasoning.

A: See? You haven’t come up with a single reason why I should not join your company. Where’s my offer letter?

  1. What is this? A humour wave running across the cartel land?

    Nice one. And I take back my earlier comment I made on your Osama Bin Laden post. 🙂

  6. Someone please nominate this for the blog mela please. Shanti has banned me from submitting any entries ever since I called her aunty. But she hasn’t said that my entries can’t participate on their own, and I love Amazon gift certificates.
