Then he looked around and said, “Make sure the elephants don’t see what the rabbits are up to.”
That was Management!!

Another Interview gag by Navtej Kohli

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Navtej Kohli’s joke of the day.

This joke is not intended to offend any fraternity. Just take it on a lighter note, after all we all humans are kindred spirits. :)

A blonde goes for a job interview in an office. The interviewer decides to start with the basics. “So, Miss, can you tell us your age, please?”

The blonde counts carefully on her fingers for about 30 seconds before replying, “Ehhhh .. 22!”

The interviewer tries another straightforward one to break the ice. “And can you tell us your height, please?”

The young lady stands up and produces a measuring tape from her handbag. She then traps one end under her foot and extends the tape to the top of her head. She checks the measurement and announces, “Five foot two!”

This isn’t looking good so the interviewer goes for the real basics. “And uhh, just to confirm for our records, your name please?”

The blonde bobs her head from side to side for about twenty seconds, mouthing something silently to herself, before replying, “Mandy!”

The interviewer is completely baffled at this stage, so he asks, “Just out of curiosity, Miss. We can understand your counting on your fingers to work out your age, and the measuring tape for your height is obvious, but what were you doing when we asked you your name?”

“Oh that!,” replies the blonde, “That’s just me running through ‘Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you….”

A smart choice - Navtej Kohli

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Navtej Kohli Career blog believes in motivating students. Navtej Kohli tells an anecdote about a student on interview. Being cognizant of the difficulty, see how this boy tackled this tricky situation.

There was a student who was desirous of taking admission for a study course.

He was smart enough to get through the written test, a GD and was to appear for the personal interview. Later, as the interview progressed, the interviewer found this boy to be bright since he could answer all the questions correctly. The interviewer got impatient and decided to corner the boy.

“Tell me your choice,” said he to the boy, “What’s your choice: I shall either ask you ten easy questions or ONE real difficult. Think well before you make up your mind.”

The boy thought for a while and said, “My choice is ONE real difficult question.”

“Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!” said the man on the opposite side. Tell me: What comes first, Day or Night?”

The boy was jolted first but he waited for a while and said: “It’s the DAY, sir.”

“How???????” the interviewer was smiling (”At last, I got you!” he said to himself.)

“Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND difficult question!”

Admission for the course was thus secured.
