Interviewing a Bimbo

is no fun at all. Since, it lead to an inner conflict of what the man inside would want but the morality inside would resist!
She was given our reference by her friend who also slyly told me, 'my friend is beuatiful'. Alas, that's not a prerequisit or even an advantage for a technical role.
She sent her resume that night. She had studied in Netherlands. Ability to speak English being a huge positive in Bangkok, I called her for interview.
She came, indeed very good looking and very elegantly dressed.
It went like this:
M: Please introduce yourself
S (grinning): Im Ae (nick name) from upcountry, I studied environmental science in Netherlands (I looked on), thats all
M: What is your favourite subject?
S: Water treatment
M: Ok, please explain what is BOD and COD
S(with a large grin): Oh, it was such a long time ago, dont remeber..
M (Bit puzzled): When did you graduate, this year, right?
S(with a big smile): Yeah, yeah, thats right
M: So didnt you want a job in Holland? How was it?
S: Oh, I loved it, it was so less crowded and beaituful, I wanted a job there but if one doesnt talk local language, its difficult to get a job there. So I come to Bangkok to look for job, my parents want me to work
M: Ok, please define viscosity
S(with a puzzled smile): What's that? I never thought I would be asked technical questions, so I didnt prepare
I feel torn inside increasingly.
M: So whats your salary expectation?
S: Hmm...18000 dollar....err Bhat
M: Ok, why 18 and not 20?
S: Hmm...since I dont have experience, may be 20 is ok....
M: Ok, do you know what is PH? What is the scale?
S: Hmm...its max 10 I think...
I increasingly feel dejected that cannt get her to work for us. With a big sigh, had to let her go!
