About sixty years of experimental psychology research is showing that most individuals are capable of preserving their beliefs, even in the face of overwhelming evidence, argument and logic to the contrary. And today I intend to test if that is true.

¡Let's take off!

Hunting for good jobs...

“Your CV is bloated with half-truths, false praise, exaggeration and unsubstantiated accomplishments. ¡I’d like to hire you to write our Annual Report!”

During a job interview, the interviewer asks to the applicant: ¿Are you allergic to anything?
To which the man replies: Yes, caffeine. I can't drink coffee.
The interviewer continues: Ok, have you ever been in the military service before?
The man says: Yes, I was in Iraq for one tour.
The interviewer replies: Ok, that will give you 5 extra points towards employment.
And after this, he asks: Are you disabled in any way?
The applicant says: Yes, a bomb exploded near me and I lost both of my testicles.
After hearing this, the interviewer grimaces and then says: Okay. You have enough points for me to hire you right now. Our normal hours are 8am to 4pm. You can start tomorrow at 10am and plan on starting at 10am every day.
The man is puzzled and asks: If the work hours are from 8am to 4pm, why don't you want me here until 10am?
The interviewer says : This is a government job. For the first two hours, we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that!

Recruiter: So, what salary are you expecting?

Candidate: Around the range of $150,000 per year, depends on the benefits program.

Recruiter: Okay, then how would you like a four-week fully paid vacation package, 60 paid leaves, full medical and dental payments, a 40 percent salary matching retirement fund and a corporate car leased every second year?

Candidate: (Sitting straight) Wow! Really? Are you joking?

Recruiter: Yeah, but you started it!
