“Similarly, we were interviewing a kid to do grunt work at our shop. Tbe other 3 guys seemed to think he was ok; I did not. So, I asked him what one-third of one-half was. He had no idea, and didn’t even seem embarrassed by that. We didn’t hire him.”
pretty high standards for “grunt” work, if you expect your applicant to know how to multiply fractions.
Lol, “grunt work” meaning checking parts to within .0005”, etc. Not cleaning toilets. Anyway, that’s what, 4th grade math? I realize such a question would probably stump 80% of HS graduates. Hey, I didn’t like the guy.
