Giz a job!

2 sheds was interviewing candidates for a cleaning job yesterday. I would imagine interviewing people can be quite tedious, but then you get the odd character that spices up the process! There was one particular male candidate who obviously wanted to make an impression and I'd say he succeeded!

Bear in mind, this guy is in his 50s and not some wet behind the ears youngster!

2 sheds asks him,"what cleaning duties do you enjoy?" (he tells me this is a set interview question, generally designed to elicit a response that tells the interviewer that the candidate takes pride in their job!)

candidate..."I hate cleaning"

2 sheds fights the urge to ask him what the hell he was doing there then, and went on to question 2!

"Why do we clean?"

Expecting some intuitive responses such as; 'To create a good impression for visitors, to avoid the spread of germs, to remove hazards...etc'

candidate..."to get paid"

By this point 2 sheds had decided his fate but had to carry on...you never konw, he might save himself yet with a brilliant, insightful, intelligent response! 2 sheds asks, "What are the consequences of not cleaning a public building?"

(Eagerly anticipating another gem of an answer, as the tale unfolded, I wasn't disappointed!)

candidate..."I'd get the sack!"

Then 2 sheds asks the applicant if he has any questions...

candidate..."Is it mostly women?"

2 sheds answers..."There are some men working in cleaning but it is mostly women, why?"

candidate..."Well, you know what women are like!"



Ed...I don't think they'll be asking for his references any time soon!
