I think the lesson here is thinking outside the box which be good if u r giving the job. But classifying d three variables. Carying the sick old woman means sympaty. Carying ur friend is loyalty which is what ur employers will appretiate. And carying d lady of ur dreams dats selfish which ur to be employers will kick against. 4 Likes |

1. The old woman may die on the way, that's risky 2. Your friend may not know how to drive, that'll be dangerous. 3. Your 'old friend' shouldn't be trusted. You need time to study if he has changed. You may never see your car again. 4. Your 'perfect mate' may decline. He/she is perfect based on physical appearance only because you've not interacted with her and she may not be interested in you. First carry your friend to a safe nearby place, then the man/woman of your dream. Tell them u are going for the old woman. They can then be your witness if anything happens to her on the way. 1 Like |

He could have picked them up. Most cars have space for AT LEAST 4 extra people and he met only 3. The answer was an overkill with the assumption that the friend could drive. He actually failed the test. . |

What woman of your dreams would care about you when you so blatantly condemn her to a bus ride while your friend has the privilege of enjoying the comfort of your car? Women never like their man's friends. I'd employ the guy who tosses some taxi fare to his friend and asks him to take the old woman to the hospital while flipping open the car door to the woman of his dreams. |

unyours: well.......mr genius if i was the one who was to mark, I'll mark you very wrong Becos the questions says WHO WILL YOU PICK not WHAT WILL YOU DO. please follow the questions as stated in interviews. however in the event of WHAT WILL YOU DO? I'll say the reply given above is very excellent and creative. really thinking out of the box. thanks sir for sharing and opening our minds. |

unyours: Bros that your response get K leg... If i were the interviewer, u have failed with that response.let's say there was no option to choose from then you can go ahead and answer in any best way you feel but since you were given options to choose from,you have to choose one or none instead of twisting. For me i would choose my dream girl because she in this case represent a goal i had set to achieve and i need not stop at anything in order to make it. it simply defines you as a goal getter and that's what employers need. |

I will not give my friend my car, what if he disappears with the car or come back without the car to tell me stories that touch. In that scenario I will simply come down and assist them in waiting for the bus while taking time out with my dream girl |
Re: A Genius Answer To A Moral/Ethical Dilemma Asked In A Job Interview by kolinsteroy: 8:05pm On May 04, 2015 |
That answer is based on the assumption that the friend can drive. If he doesn't know how to drive, the option aint viable.. |

unyours:OP, I am quite impressed with your post. However alot of people on NL don't get the point. The interview question was not seeking for you to give the right answer, but to think outside the box. As a solutions provider, you should be able to think outside the box. Expand your mental capacity. I am really impressed.... |
Re: A Genius Answer To A Moral/Ethical Dilemma Asked In A Job Interview by Solozzo(m): 9:10pm On May 04, 2015 |
Some NL members unable to come with reasonable responses choose to over criticise the answer that impressed the panel of interviewers. There is no fixed answer as it a test of your moral and ethical reasoning as well as issues like ability to prioritize. In crisis, think on your feet with practicable answers assuming all resources are at your disposal. The key issue is to show panelists your ability to : - sacrifice your self interest -prioritizen -that you are aware a leader cannot satisfy all in crisis but the greatest good for the greatest number. Te answer given in op scenario meets the above, let's look at another answer I will come down quickly make social gestures with my friend and ask we look at the old lady together. If urgently needs help to hospital, help her call an ambulance. If there is too much delay, explain you could have helped friend but because of the urgent medical situation of the old lady pick her to hospital. Meanwhile waiting for ambulance intimate yourself with young lady and exchange contacts -tomorrow is another day. In this answer: - there is self sacrifice- chance to be with his desires able woman - prioritizes emergency help for old lady -using or attempting to use resources available. Not being snobbish to friend by involving him in decision making about urgent need to help and exploring available resources. 1 Like |

Lanretoye: Interviewers will see as self conceited and callous. You would abandon a dying woman and a friend who saved your life for beauty and infatuation. Unless you can show how you would attempt to help the other two in an impressive manner. 1 Like |
