Irish Interview

[christian71 3,187]

Murphy applied for a fork lift operator job at a famous Irish firm
based in Dublin. A Pole applied for the same job and since both
applicants had similar qualifications, they were asked to take a test
and led to 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 Murphy and said, "Thank you for coming to the
interview, but we’ve decided to give the Pole the job."

Murphy, "And why would you be doing that? We both got 19 questions
right. This being Ireland and me being Irish surely I should get the
job."

Manager, "We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but on
the question you got wrong."

Murphy, "Tell me now, and how would one incorrect answer be better
than another?"

Manager, "Simple, on question number 7 the Pole wrote down, 'I don’t
know' and you put down, ‘Neither do I’.
