Beating the employment trap

Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for Microsoft Europe. 5000 candidates assembled in a large room. One candidate is our ramasamy.

Bill Gates: Thank you for coming.
Those who do not know JAVA may leave. 2000 people leave the room.
ramasamy 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 leave the room.

ramasamy 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.

ramasamy 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 leave the room.

ramasamy 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, ramasamy turns to the other candidate and says ' endha ooru ? '


The other candidate answers… ' Thoothukudi pakkam '
