CEO’s Impossible Interview Question Stumps Everyone

Written by

A high end and very well known business wants to hire a new accountant.

But everybody who went in for an interview got rejected. People with 30+ years in the industry were turned away like they were morons. The reputation of this job started to spread, and caught the attention of a kid who recently graduated college and was looking for a job in the field.

He figured he had nothing to lose, so he applied and was called into an interview with the CEO.

The CEO said “I only ask one question when looking for accountants.” The kid gulped, but nodded. After a pause, the CEO asked:

“What’s 1+1?”

Confused, the kid thought about the question for a bit, then smiled and answered “it’s whatever you want it to be.”

“You got the job,” the CEO replied.
