Frustrated by the lack of candidates that could pass the hiring process for one reason or another, he decided to lower the standards in order to get some hands hired.
The oilfield had been good to him, as he and his wife lived in a wealthy neighborhood. So, he decided to use his home for motivating the new prospective hires to what they could achieve with hard work.
The contractor chose his first prospect and instructed him to come to his house the next day.
When the prospect arrived. The contractor gave him his first test.
He told the prospect that he would pay him to paint his porch.
When the contractor asked him to quote the job, the prospect said, "How about 50 dollars?" The contractor agreed and told him that the paint and ladders that he might need were in the garage.
The contractor's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does he realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"
The contractor replied, "He should. He was standing on the porch."
A short time later, the prospect came to the door to collect his money.
"You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the prospect answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats.
"Impressed, the man reached in his pocket and gave the prospect the $50.
"And by the way," the prospect added,
"that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."
