Yikes.... double yikes. The fact a 29 year old needs help giving personal experiences which are as common place as these being asked scares the fudge out of me.
Dear Job Applicant, Hope this helps:
1) In 1991, along with my brother Nino, I started an urban supply outlet in conjunction with rejuvinating The Carter apartment complex. I helped with the development of the materials processing plant and in human resources. I took great pleasure in hiring a local youth, Pookie, who was a former stick-up kid and recovering drug addict. While that hire eventually led to the end of that specific operation and the destruction of The Carter apartment building, I look at it as a lesson learned.
2) While I spent time as a dry cleaner, I faced much crisis. One day after saving a police detective from an angry mob, we faced this issue, a bomb was attached to a scale in a park. Sitting on the lip of a fountain were 2 water jugs, a 5-gallon jug and a 3-gallon jug. The timer on the bomb would stop if we placed a jug containing 4 gallons on the scale. After some confusion this is how I figured it out. Fill the 5-gallon jug. Empty the 5-gallon jug into the 3-gallon jug, leaving 2 gallons. Empty the 3-gallon jug. Pout the 2 gallons in to the 3-gallon jug. Fill the 5-gallon jug and use it to fill the 3-gallon jug. That left 4 gallons in the 5-gallon jug. Issue solved, bomb stopped, crisis dealt with.
3) After my second year of college I just was not feeling "it". I voiced my concerns with my father and he explained that from that point on I would need to pay for school on my own. That summer I was forced to take a job at "Senor Pizza" as a delivery driver. On one such occasion while delivering a pizza with "extra anchovies" a female customer named Alex took a great deal of pleasure in my delivery techniques. She quickly became a regular customer of Senor Pizza. She passed the word around town with her many friends about the delivery services that I provided. Besides the instance when my mother made an order, it was rather smooth and highly profitable.
Bonus points are available on this one folks.
