What are my chances of getting the job?

  • I applied for a CAD design job at a local architectural stone company. Today I was in a group interview with the owner, his secretary, and two other candidates. He told us that we were the final choices after reviewing over 100 resumes. He also said we would have been interviewed individually except that his time and workload would not permit it. After the interview he had the secretary test (timed....given 10 minutes to complete a drawing) us in their CAD system then he would review and let us know if we passed/failed before we left. What follows is a pro/con for each candidate. By selecting who you would hire if you owned the company, hopefully I can determine what my chances are. I REALLY want this job and have already sent a thank you note. btw...I'm not going to say which candidate is me. Candidate A Pro: Very organized portfolio of excellent school work, intelligent w/ a sense of humor, recent tech school grad, very professional appearance and demeanor, young, and slim. Con: No professional CAD design experience, might not be the best choice for job-site visits. Failed the CAD test (time ran out). Candidate B Pro: Organized portfolio of recent completed impressive professional projects, intelligent, tech school grad, professional appearance, appears to be slightly older than "A", some professional experience, seems to be athletically fit (good for job-site visits where climbing might be required). Passed the CAD test. Con: Professional experience limited to piping and electrical for refineries. Candidate C Pro: Very organized portfolio of past projects in the stone industry as well as hand drawings from school. Tech school grad. Years of experience in architecture and architectural stone. Professional demeanor. Highest score on the CAD test. Con: Morbidly obese. Sloppy appearance (casual outfit at an interview). Not good for job-site visits due to physical limitations. Lack of professional attire means not good for executive/client meetings. If you were the owner, which candidate would you hire?

  • Answer:

    Dear, if you think you would be selected for this post. You surely get this job and If you think that you would not be selected for this post. You surely don't select for this post.. Keep positive only and more jobs are in this world available. All the best

I would pick Candidate B. B has previous CAD experience, is physically fit for job-site visits, and professionally dressed for meetings. Candidate A is passed over simply because this person doesn't have the necessary experience to keep up with the workload. Candidate C would have been silently rejected at first sight. Morbid obesity and inappropriate attire outweigh all previous experience. Besides that...I don't like obese fatties. From my past experience from working alongside them....always lazy and thoroughly incompetent. If you are Candidate C I would suggest you do something about being such an obese fattie. Noone will hire you unless you are slim and trim. A few tips... 1) Salad instead of burgers & fries 2) Unsweetened tea/water instead of all those sodas you fatties chug all day long 3) Exercise instead of watching tv while munching mindlessly 4) Quit using the electric buggy at every store that offers them. These buggies are ONLY for those who truly need them, like a senior citizen who has trouble walking b/c of severe arthritis, or someone in a cast who has to use crutches. 5) Quit parking in the handicapped spaces if you have one of those tags. You should be forced to park at the very back of the lot as far as you can from the store.
