Microsoft Europe.
5000 candidates assembled in a large room. One candidate was Urio, Tanzanian living in USA

Bill Gates asked the candidates who never had experience of managing more than 100 people to leave. 2000 people left the room. Urio says to himself ' I never managed anybody by myself but I have nothing to lose if I stay. What can happen to me?' So he stays.
Then Bill Gates asked candidates who do not have management diplomas to leave. 500 people left the room.Urio says to himself, 'I left school at 15 but what have I got to lose?' So he stays in the room.
Lastly, Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not speak Russian to leave. 498 people left the room. Urio says to himself, ' I do not speak one word of Russian but what do I have to lose?' So he stays and finds himself with one other candidate.
Everyone else has gone. Bill Gates joined them and said 'Apparently you are the only two candidates who have all the required qualifications & experience I am looking for and speak Russian, so I'd now like to hear you have a conversation together in that language.'
