He explains how due to there crimes against the state they are to be shot a first light tomorrow, but adds that as it is your first time here, and in honour of it, he may make an exception. He states that if you shoot one now, as an example to the others he will free the remaining nine! If not they will all be condemed. What do you do?
Answer
This is why preparing for an interview by thinking about potential questions is very valuable. You have a chance to give this some serious thought.
Come up with a real example from your own experience, preferably from a job. Make sure you made the correct "moral choice" when you were faced with it. Try practicing the story to a friend or family member. Not only will saying it out loud help you practice, you'll get a second opinion on whether you acted ethically. :-)
