Interview Number 1
I have started a new project, yes another one. This one is about writing fictional comedy around interviews of some sort. This is basically all about the conversation between two people which can be quite random and hopefully slightly funny.
Standard disclaimer applies in that these were funny in my own head, you may not find them funny at all.
Interview Number 1
Person A: So why do you want this job?
Person B: I don't
Person A: Pardon?
Person B: I don't want this specific job.
Person A: Then why come to the interview then...
Person B:Well, lets say no one comes to an interview for this job.
Person A: They do, you're here.
Person B:You are not following me at all
You are interviewing for an administration assistant right?
Person A:Well...Yes.
Person B:There are billions of admin jobs right?
Person A: I suppose...
Person B: So what I want is an admin asst job, it does not have to be this job.
Person A: So you don't want this job then.
Person B: Well I wouldn't say no.
Person A: Well thats interesting because I wouldn't say yes.
Person B: Can I suggest next question?
Person A: Do you think that would help?
Person B: At this point in the interview who can say?
Person A: Quite
Person A: Let's move on to what you know about our organisation?
Person B: The business or your personal organisation
Person A: The business of course
Person B: I know very little... I'm afraid
Person A: You are afraid?
Person B: No, I am not scared
Person A: Good, because I have had feedback I am an aggressive interviewer.
Person B: That's ok I have had feedback I am agressive when interviewed.
Person A: I always feel like I am being judged at interviews.
Person B: You are
Person A: Well yes
Person B: It is just so personal though isn't it.
Person A: Yes but that is an interview, impersonal and personal at the same time.
It is an imperfect tool in an imperfect world.
Person B: Like a 102 piece screwdriver set.
Person A: Ah but that's a perfect tool, you have the perfect bit for any screw.
Person B: I think we should agree top disagree.
Person A: Anyway, to move the interview forward slightly
Person B:Certainly a better direction than backwards,
or sideways.
Person A:Quite
Person B: I would see myself as the 102 piece perfect tool for the reasons you just described
Person A: Which are?
Person B: I fit any job
Person A: Ah but your philosophy of screw driver bits would suggest you don't fit this specific job.
Person B: That would be one possible interpretation but I could not possibly comment
Person A: It's an interview I think you are required and compelled to comment
Person B: No comment
Person A: This is not a police interview
Person B: Good because I had a disagreement with my lawyer last night
Person A: Do you need a lawyer?
Person B: You tell me, you are the one asking the questions
Person A: Yes, I am and parking this to one side the original question was what do you know about the organisation?
Person B: I know the organisation needs and administrative assistant...
