Question 24

On March 30, 2006 · 21 Comments · In The Ingterneck

I’ve been told I don’t answer ques­tions. Not by keep­ing silent, but by say­ing some­thing totally unre­lated (and infuriating).

Exem­pli Gratia:

Q: What is your favourite colour?

A: OK.

temasekholdings.pngI’ve just realised my over­whelm­ing ten­dency to do this qual­i­fies me for a job at one of our nation’s finest cor­po­ra­tions. You know? The one that had (yes, past tense prob­a­bly cor­rect) an employee who attached the wrong file to an out­go­ing email to the press?

The doc­u­ment at issue (via tomorrow.sg) con­tains ques­tions which were meant to train exec­u­tives how to han­dle the press when ques­tioned as regards the pur­chase of Stan­dard Char­tered stock. I give you ques­tion 24 and the answer given:

Q: How is Temasek fund­ing this investment?

A: We have the nec­es­sary fund­ing for this investment.

I am send­ing in my CV tomorrow.

If you’re also of the same ilk, and would like to see if you qual­ify, all you need to do is answer ques­tions like this com­menter did on one of mrbrown’s blog entries: Link.

    This update adds the Scene Search fea­ture sim­i­lar to the fea­ture on the PSP. Acti­vat­ing this fea­ture while view­ing a video on the PS3 will break the video nfcu up into scenes that you can quickly access by press­ing the X but­ton. You can break the videos into one, two or five minute inter­vals. In addi­tion, you can now choose to have all of the videos under the video sec­tion of the XMB play in sequence. Go to Set­tings then Video Set­tings to turn this option on.
