At the interview to fill the vacancy of a
Field Engineer in a
multinational oil company, two
competent and qualified
Engineers were
shortlisted and the company was to decide on who to retain
and who to
show the red card.
They asked them If they could drive and
they both answered
in the affirmative even though only one of them
could drive.
The Head of the Human Resources
spearheading the interview
cum pruning session then handed his car
keys to them to prove their
driving skills within the premises.
The over-confident applicant collected
the car key, opened
the car,
switched on the ignition, lighted it up, sped off, swirled,
swerved and
made some stunts on wheels before
parking the car on the
same spot to
the seeming rousing applause and mischievously knowing
smile of the
interviewers.
The other applicant who could not drive
collected the key all
the same, opened the car, opened the
bonnet, checked the engine
oil
level, the brake fluid level, the gear oil
level and the water in
the radiator level.
As he closed the bonnet, the chief
interviewer walked towards
him and
said: "Don't bother driving, you've just
been hired!" PRECAUTION is more powerful than
EXPERTISE!
The race is not for the swiftest, but to the
wise!
Don't be brash and over-confident.
Learn the ropes and never back off from giving your best
even
If you
don't possess what it takes. That
someone is doing it fast
doesn't mean
he is doing it right! Direction is more important than speed!
Exercise caution and
take
precaution in the journey of life - that's
how to be recruited
into the employment of success
