   He needed a job. He went online to the Moondollars website. There was a questionnaire 1 for new hires. He decided 2 to answer the questions. The questionnaire asked many similar questions. Do you like people? Do you like to be around people? Are you a friendly person? Do you like to listen to people's problems? Do you go out of your way to help people? No, no, no, no, and no, he answered. I'm going to flunk 3 this questionnaire, he thought. But I have to be honest. He finished the questionnaire. He filled in all his personal information. Two weeks later, Moondollars emailed him: "We would like to interview you soon." There was more. He told his wife. She was surprised. "Why would they want to interview you? Your answers showed that you're not a 'people person,'" she said. He said, "I'm not. But they think I'll make a good manager!"
