556 - The lost treasure chest: the best employees.

After firing his almost new employee, the employer withdraw a box full of resumes to evaluate for hiring a new one, and while he was looking for the best candidate to fill the post, he got a brilliant idea.

Since he was tired of hiring someone who had a the best resume and to fire him or her a few weeks later because the person turned out to be the complete opposite of what his or her resume said; he decided to make a little game which would provide him the best employee; therefore he hid five treasure chests through the city at the same time he send a booklet of instructions of how to find those chest to everyone who had applied for the post, implying that those who found the treasure chests would receive a great surprise.

Half of the persons who received the booklet didn't even try to find the treasure chests, and a lot of those who tried, gave up when they were half way because there was a lot of things to do before finding one.

Only three people found the treasure chests, and to their surprise, there not was gold nor a prize inside of them but an employment contract.

So the employer found the best employees he had had in years, and to his surprise, a year later, when he re-checked their resumes, he found out that according to their resumes, those three people didn't have what it was needed to fill the posts they had earned in the game, and in regular conditions he would have never hired them.

The end.
