"Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given, to guarantee upward mobility for even the most unremarkable employees."

Your going to be top heavy in management.

 

"Do you have any goals for the future?" lol, that question caught me off guard at my job interview.

 

They actually asked it as a yes-or-no type question? What did you say?
I hope your "caught me off guard" remark isn't hinting that you said "no".

 

Actually, I think I said I'd like to still be working there 5 years later (advancing hopefully). After that, I'll see where life takes me.

Not the best answer, but I got the job regardless (a year ago). The position was almost 100% written for me in particular so it probably wouldn't of mattered what I said. Other than that it was a good interview. Gave me an excuse to wear a nice suit anyway.

 

Well done. Maybe too well done.
Prepare yourself for a lifetime of reverse discrimination as a "Canadian with Abilities".

 

This must be a particular bone with you working in Canada's government heartland.

 

I hadn't thought of it that way...

Great thread usual_suspect. I got more than a few laughs out of it.

 

I hear rumours of a proposed amendment to the Income Tax act as well - a new simplified tax form:

 

LOL... that's simplified all right

 

lol.. i'm sending this one to my sister who is currently working at deloitte's tax division.
here are 2 questions (or similar to what i remember) that were given to me during a sun microsystems interview:

1. there are 2 rooms. 1 room has 3 light bulbs and the other room has 3 control switches for the light bulbs. a closed door separates the 2 rooms. u are allowed to walk into the room with the bulbs only once. u may flick the light switches any number/combination of ways. u must identify which light switch operates which light bulb.

2. u wake up one morning in your home and look out the window. to your surprise u find trash littered all over your yard. meanwhile, every other yard in your neighbourhood is spotless. what do u do?
