Here's a little piece that has been circulating anonymously on the Internet.
Dear Sir:
We are pleased to have reviewed the resumes of the twelve men you have picked for management positions in your organization. They have taken our battery of psychological tests, and our vocational counselors have interviewed each one.
It is our staff's professional opinion that most of your nominees are lacking in background, education, and vocational aptitude for the enterprise you are undertaking. They are not team players. We recommend that you continue your search until you find better-qualified candidates.
Simon Peter is emotionally unstable and given to fits of temper.
Andrew has absolutely no qualities of leadership.
The brothers, James and John, place personal interest above company loyalty.
Thomas demonstrates a skeptical, questioning attitude that would tend to undermine morale.
Our investigators have discovered that the Jerusalem Better Business Bureau has an inch- thick file of ethics complaints against Matthew, concerning his former employment as a tax collector.
James, son of Alphaeus, and Thad-deus definitely have radical leanings, and both register a high score on the manic-depressive scale.
Only one of your candidates shows high potential. He is a man of ability and resourcefulness. He meets people well, has a keen business mind, and has contacts in the highest places. He is highly motivated, ambitious, and responsible. Therefore, we recommend Judas Iscariot as your vice-president and right-hand man.
Wishing you every success in your new venture,
Jordan Management Consultants
