    In the movie Exam, eight candidates were given an unusual evaluation for a position that required sympathy alongside other qualities like ambition and intelligence. The candidates were instructed not to talk or ask questions, and failing to ask about the instructions was considered "the question". At the end, the evaluator explained the position required sympathy as well as other attributes. While the method evaluated fitness for the job, simply being the last candidate did not necessarily mean one was the best fit. The document argues that the candidate Black deserved the job more than the candidate Blonde, as Black came up with many ideas and helped others, demonstrating qualities like intelligence, ambition, and eventually sympathy, while Blonde did not contribute as much and simply remained at the end.

    In the movie Exam, eight talented candidates reached the final stage of

    assessment for a3

    position in a prominent pharmaceutical corporation. In an enclosed room,


    they were given instructions not to spoil their paper, not to talk to the guard, and
    not to talk to the Invigilator. They tasked to give one answer to a question. After the
    instructions were given, they were all asked if they had any questions this was
    the question, in which they all missed.
    At the end part of the movie the Invigilator explained that the position
    requires someone who has sympathy alongside ambition, intelligence, drive and
    hard work. What bothers me is what if they all answered No in unison (just like a
    normal class answers together when a teacher asks them a simple question) would
    they all be accepted for the job? How can they be evaluated? How will the evaluator
    know if they acquire the required attributes? Nevertheless, in this paper I propose to
    show that Black deserves the job more than Blonde.
    The method of evaluation was a good way to look for the best person that fits
    the job. However, they should have not made it last-man-standing type, but rather
    the-man-who-stood-best type. Blonde does not deserve the job. She hardly did
    anything. She gave no ideas. She offered no help. She just did what everyone told
    her. Okay, she remembered her hairpin which saved Whites life, she remember the
    room was voice-activated, and she remembered what candidate 1 said; you could
    say shes sympathetic and incredibly retentive, but where is intelligence? Drive?
    Hard work? She just won because she was the last to stay. My point, she does not
    acquire the required attributes. Black does. Almost all of the ideas came from Black.
    From the UV lights to the fire sprinklers. He is very active. You can say that he is
    very ambitious because he just kept on blurting out ideas. Not just mediocre ideas
    though, he knew a lot of things and all his ideas are very sensible, which makes him
    intellectual. You may argue What makes Black sympathetic? He even tied a sick
    person to a chair! That was before he thought White was just faking, but when
    White started convulsing he knew it was real (because he knows a lot of things) and
    looked for the pill undoubtedly.
    Black deserves the job. There is no reason why Black should not have the job. Even
    basing solely on the rules given by the Invigilator, he and Blonde have the same
    odds of getting the job. He did not spoil his paper and did not talk to the evaluators.
    The job requires the skill set Black has to offer and he has compellingly executed
    them all throughout the evaluation.
