Mumbai Municipal Corporation (India) wanted to fill up 4000 posts of
street sweepers. So, it advertised in local newspapers, saying applicants
should have passed 8th Standard (10th being school graduation).
That led to a flood of 300,000 applications.
How can anyone go thru 300,000 resumes to shortlist 4,000 candidates ?
No problem.
Additional “Eligibility Criteria “ required that candidates must be
·
165 cm tall
·
capable of running 4 Km in 15 Min ( 16 Km / hour )
Now, if a candidate can sweep 128 Km of roads in an 8 hour shift ( @ 16
Km / hour ), then the Municipal Corporation should need only 32 sweepers to
sweep 4000 Km of Mumbai roads !
Why invest in sweeping machines if you can employ 4000?
