Dear Sir:
Thank you for submitting the résumés of the twelve men you
have picked for management positions in your new organisation. All of them have taken our battery of tests;
and we have not only run the results through our computer, but also arranged
personal interviews for each of them with our psychologist and vocational
aptitude consultant.
The profiles of all tests are included, and you will want to
study each of them carefully.
As part of our service and for your guidance, we make some
general comments, much as an auditor will include some general statements. This is given as a result of staff consultation
and comes without any additional fee.
It is the staff opinion that most of your nominees are
lacking in background, education and vocational aptitude for the type of
enterprise you are undertaking. They do
not have team concept. We recommend that
you continue your search for persons of experience in managerial ability and
proven capability.
Simon Peter is emotionally unstable and given to fits of
temper. Andrew has absolutely no
qualities of leadership. The two
brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, place personal interest above
company loyalty. Thomas demonstrates a
questioning attitude that would tend to undermine morale. We feel that it is our duty to tell you that
Matthew has been blacklisted by the Greater Jerusalem Better Business Bureau. James, the son of Alpheaus, and Thaddaeus
definitely have radical leanings, and they both registered a high score on the
manic-depressive scale.
One of the candidates, however, shows great potential. He is a man of ability and resourcefulness,
meets people well, has a keen business mind and has contacts in high places. He is highly motivated, ambitious and
responsible. We recommend Judas Iscariot as your comptroller and right-hand
man. All the other profiles are
self-explanatory.
We wish you every success in your new venture.
Sincerely Yours,
