Stupidity

Emirates Business Class.

Application goes on.

Hey, now I know some people are seriously lousy in making up stories. Throughout my tenure in the recruitment division, I have heard thousands of lies and if I were to list it out one by one, I think I need a few days to compile everything.

Some of them are just so lousy that a person like me, who is pretty gullible would detect the loopholes in their lies. To be honest, I like people who are honest and direct to me, and not making up some stupid dumb stories.

I remember there was once, when I phoned up someone to ask why this particular person did not attend the interview. The person was in panic, I know because he doesn't know what to answer. I guess he randomly made up some stories and told me :

I'm not X, I'm his brother and my brother was admitted to hospital while on the way to your office because he met an accident.

I believed in that guy at first, because he sounded so real. But somehow, the later part of the conversation sold him off.

So I asked : So how is your brother now? and he answered :

It is quite serious. He's currently in the hospital now, still not awake. But my brother told me he is still interested in the job. I will call you back.

I was thinking, if it is so serious, your brother wouldn't even be able to tell you he is still interested. To make matter worse, he said I call you back. It doesn't make any sense right?

So I said : Oh okay, hope that your brother get well soon and I look forward for YOUR call.

It was somewhere around mid November, a pretty sunny day. Again, someone did not turn up for an interview. It's a she this time, falls in the majority group. I was extremely irritated by this girl.

The reply for not attending the interview was that she fell sick, so she need to rest. Over here it might sound real and you might believed it. However, this girl is so stupid to give me such reason where I can hear giggles and laughters from the background, I presume is some eateries.

Maybe she really need a total brain transplant and she is a perfect choice to define Stupidity.
