You are talking to the manager of a bike shop hoping to work there now that school is out for the summer. The manager says she needs to hire someone with good character. Which of the following would she see as an example of good character?
A. that as a cashier you can carelessly and quickly count money
B. that you are creative and independent enough to improve a store display without needing help
C. that you can assemble and disassemble a bike without making mistakes in less than 10 minutes
D. that you are strong and muscular enough to carry bikes for customers to their cars
Guys, I am sorry I meant to put health as the subject.
Do you still need help or not?
In order to determine which option the manager would see as an example of good character, let's analyze each option individually.
A. In this scenario, the ability to count money quickly and carelessly might be seen as efficient, but it doesn't necessarily demonstrate good character. Good character would involve being honest, responsible, and diligent when handling money.
B. The ability to be creative and independent enough to improve a store display without needing help can be seen as a positive trait. It indicates that you are proactive, take initiative, and have a strong work ethic, which aligns with good character.
C. Being able to assemble and disassemble a bike without making mistakes in a short amount of time showcases qualities such as attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and precision. These qualities are generally associated with good character.
D. While being strong and muscular enough to carry bikes for customers is a physical attribute that could be helpful in certain situations, it does not necessarily reflect good character. Good character is more about qualities such as honesty, integrity, responsibility, and respect for others.
Based on these analyses, option B (being creative and independent enough to improve a store display without needing help) and option C (assembling and disassembling a bike without making mistakes in less than 10 minutes) are more likely to be seen as examples of good character by the bike shop manager.
