Man Has No Idea Question About The Grand Canyon Is A Test To Check His Work Ethic, Fails It

Making a good impression during a job interview requires preparation, practice, and a bit of luck. But sometimes, things take an unexpected turn, regardless of your readiness level.

When Reddit user Dekemyster tried to sell himself to an IT company, one of the recruiters asked the guy what he would do if he couldn’t solve a client’s problem, and immediately after answering, he was hit with a follow-up question about… the Grand Canyon. Little did he know, it was all part of the same test.

Before their interview, candidates should be able to explain why they want the role and why they’re qualified for it
