The insurance firm put a sign in the window saying "HELP WANTED.You
must be a good typist and have good computer skills. Successful applicant
must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer."
A short time later a lovely golden retriever dog trotted up to the
window, saw the sign and went inside. He looked at the receptionist and
wagged his tail, then walked over to the sign, looked at it, whined and
pawed
the air. The receptionist called the office manager. He was surprised to say
the least to see a canine applicant. However, the dog looked determined so
he led him into the office. Inside, the dog jumped up on a chair and
stared at the manager expectantly. The manager said, "I can't hire you. The
sign
says you must be able to type." The dog jumped down, went to the typewriter
and proceeded to quickly type a perfect business letter. He took out the
page
with his mouth and trotted over to the manager, gave it to him, then jumped
back
up on the chair wagging his tail.
The manager was stunned, but told the dog, "That was fantastic, but
I'm sorry. The sign clearly says that whomever I hire must have
computer skills." The dog jumped down again, went to the computer and
proceeded to
demonstrate his expertise with various programs. He produced a sample Excel
spreadsheet, a sample Power Point presentation, retouched a picture with
Photo
shop, and then printed all of them for the manager. The manager was
dumbfounded.
He said to the dog, "Listen, I realize that you are a very intelligent
applicant and have
fantastic talent, but you're a dog! There's no way I can hire you!"
The dog jumped down and went to the sign in the window and pointed
his paw at the words, "Equal Opportunity Employer."
The exasperated manager said, "Yes, I know what the sign says. But
the sign also says you have to be bilingual."
The dog looked him straight in the eye: And said,
""MEOWWWWW""
