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............................................
