The candidate paused for 10 seconds before replying, "Sleeping with two women at the same time"

He got the job

He wouldn't have if I'd interviewed him.
 
.. If this doesn't work I may just have to try the Sharon Stone approach being suggested (although extremely dodgy when you live on the south coast!)

I'm completely baffled, seriously. Is that something to do with sea breezes, or more the fact that Brighton is said to be the gay capital of, er, West Sussex?
 
If you are 33.3% positive that you are in with a chance, that means that there are 2 other candidates also going for the role.

Take the other two out for a day's skydiving.

Don't forget to pack your chute !

I'm surprised the response wasn't "working in IT, I'm amazed you sleep with any women at all."
 
I've got a 33% chance of getting a job

What makes you think that you have a 33% chance of getting the role? Are you basing this purely on the assumption that there are two other candidates?

It could well be that you have a much higher (or lower) chance than that - just because there are three candidates, you may have a 0% chance of getting the role.
