I interviewed for a position as a bank teller while I was on
leave from school. One of the interview questions was, "What
is your favorite flavor of ice cream?" I responded by saying
that I couldn't name one flavor specifically, but that the
ice cream would have to have little pieces or swirls of
something mixed in because I appreciate variety. I then asked
them the importance of ice cream flavors, and was told that a
favorite flavor can say a lot about someone's personality.
The interviewers (there wre 2 of them) said they had never
had someone give a response like mine before, and that they
were impressed with the thought I'd put into an impromptu
question such as that. Later that same day, I received a call
to say I'd been offered the position.?-Lisa

I was sat down in a dark meeting room, one light and no
windows. I was given 7 pieces of paper. Each one had a
complex engineering problem which I was asked to solve, one
by one with no calculator, pencil or paper to write on.

I was asked what I did in high school that was against the
rules. I was told that the group's manager had done the
cherry bombs in the toilets routine and that another member
of the group had hacked into the school's computer system.

I was negotiating with a faith community in Africa to bring
their high Priestess to a conference in Chicago. The
community set stringent requirements that needed to be met
before Madam could attend, even though she spends most of her
time working with the U. N. in NYC. One of the Elders asked
me if I could hold Madam's hand during the entire conference,
if necessary or appropriate. I was nervous but assured him
that I would do everything within my power to meet Madam's
needs. Madam attended the conference and required my
assistance (of a hand or arm) infrequently. Life is full of
marvels. ?-Laurie
