Adventures in an Interview Room

I have been looking for a decent sales guy for fifteen days now, even posted it on FB hoping to get some references (which i do get when there is no opening). Well the last resort is to turn to a consultant, which my HR refuses because they think its a waste of money to hire a consultant for this post.Ya, right !! But then you dont argue with the HR, you just send them the bills.And before I end this prelude, I must say that this piece has no intentions to hurt anyones feelings but if does, who cares, you are not higher than me in the corporate ladder anyway.
These are seperate instances and anyone who has either tried to kill someone or oneself will relate (basically everyone).

Candidate: Sir, "Odd one out"
में Odd का मतलब क्या होता है ?
Me : जो अलग हो ( for example u moron)
Aseem:
जिसे २ से divide न किया जा सके|


Me : Why did you choose Sachin in this Odd one out question among Sachin, Anand, Jadeja and Ganguly
Candidate:
क्यूंकि सर सचिन तो सब से अलग है ना !!!
Me : Ayeen .. ha ha ha .. !! ( should i post this on FB !!! )

(I am fed up tansliterating it into hindi.... )

Me:
Why did you choose Kochi in this Odd one out question among Chennai, Kochi, Hyderabad and Bangluru
Candidate: Sir rest of them are all in India
Me: Oh Ok !! ( I am amazed at your confidence, beats santosh thourani and also thank me that i m not giving ur address to Swarna Srikrishnana Ganeshan)

Me: So you have studied zoology in grad, what is the difference between a plant cell and and animal cell.
Candidate: The plant cells dont hurt plants but the animal cells hurt animals
Me: Ooookaaaayyy ( maam mamta rani ... thnks a lot , i thought u were a lousy teacher, apparently there can be worse)
Me: Leave it tell me the scientific name of tiger
Candidate: Royal Bengal Tiger
Me : huh !! ( maam aapke charan kahan hain?? )

Me: So economics hons .. great !!! Can you tell me what is a supply demand model ?
Candidate: Sorry sir !!
Me : Phew !! atleast one who is honest enough !!
Candidate : But sir i know that Manmohan Singh has something to do with it !!!
Me : (So close !!)

.... to be continued ... have interviews today as well :)
