Soon jobs will be given without interviews (satire)

Moody finally concluded that job interviews lead to corruption and to the creation of a corrupt society and, ultimately, it is the poor people who suffer. That is not conducive to Moody's idea of Utopia and the point of fact is that the number of job vacancies was always insignificant to the number of candidates who apply.
He had been thinking about this problem for many days and finally called up one of his ministers - she used to be a well known personality on TV and, even though she was an Indian, her name would tend to suggest that she hailed from another country.
So, Moody had given her the nickname of Ranee and had entrusted her with the task of looking after education.
'Is it a fact that a hundred thousand people have applied for the post of two sweepers?' he asked her.
Ranee nodded.

'And that many of them are post graduates?'
Ranee nodded once again.
'Do we need post graduates as sweepers?
'Well - highly qualified sweepers could revolutionize the very art of sweeping,' Ranee replied demurely. She was always like that. She never raised her voice or her eyes while talking.
'But - processing a hundred thousand applications to select just two persons is silly. Don't you think so?'
'That has been the tradition till now,' she replied. 'Let us change that.'
'OK,' Ranee said.
'By the way, how many of these would-be sweepers have recommendations?'
Ranee had no reply.
'What is the ratio of men to women applicants?
'That is being worked out.'
'Finally, which two would get selected? How long would it take to clear the complete process step by step - from written test to interview to medical tests to selection?'
Again Ranee was stumped.
'Well,' Moody sighed and sat back in his throne. 'To me, it would be pure luck to whosoever gets the appointment. Therefore, let us play tick-tack-toe and just select any two of them. That will eliminate chances of corruption, nepotism and even class conflict.'
Ranee also sighed in relief.
'I will make the announcement the next time I go on the air,' Moody appeared to be satisfied and Ranee left, a big load off her head.'
