A school in Gujarat, India tried its luck with a very peculiar “job interview”: asked those who wanted a job teaching maths to make an equation. Whoever managed to solve it would have discovered the phone number to call and apply.
The school has used this method to filter a good number of candidates and make it easier for them to choose.
Business man Hard Goenkachairman of Indian conglomerate RPG Group and one of the world’s 2,000 richest men, he tweeted the announcement expressing curiosity about the unusual way the school has found its new math teacher.
Goenka’s post alone was seen by more than 1.5 million Twitter users.
Among the comments could not miss who solved the equation and shared it for anyone to call.
“The answer is 9428163811one man tweeted, adding, “I fixed it manually myself. No calculator, no help, no controls, nothing else. In no time since I just saw your tweet. Prize money at least!
The school that issued the original proposal is the Bhaktashram School, located in Navsari, Gujarat. It was established in 1986 and is located in an urban part of the district. It is a private mixed primary and pre-primary institution.
CV error
When it comes to resumes, we can’t ignore a recent viral job-hunting story that was shared by Irishwoman Ashleigh Keenan on Twitter.
In the comprehensive search, Keenan made it a goal to send as many emails as possible to at least try to land an interview. She was 17 years old and was willing to do any job to generate her first income. In total there have been 60 emails but none have been answered. How could it be? If in some they didn’t even ask for experience.
It entered its box at any moment, but the answer was always the same: nothing new, zero responses. He never realized that in his massive questioning he was making a key mistake.
The young woman, who is now 23, recalled that story of frustrations in her first steps into the world of work and it quickly went viral.
“I will never forget the days of looking for a job when I was 17. I spent months and never got a response until I figured out what was going on, “said the young Dubliner on social media, where she received more than 40,000” likes “.
What was the problem? “I sent 60 applications and then realized I was attaching my menstrual record and not my CV” .
As expected, his tweet went viral and so far his post already has more than 1,500 retweets, 50,000 likes and several comments where other people have shared their experiences.
