THE INTERVIEW
Written by Carrie Allen
May 18, 2018
CAST
INTERVIEWER
APPLICANT
SETTING: OFFICE OF A LAW FIRM
INTERVIEWER
Thank you so much for coming in today.
APPLICANT
No problem at all. Iām excited to see if this will be a good fit.
INTERVIEWER
So are we. In fact, looking over your application, it seems you are quite over qualified for the position being offered.
APPLICANT
Right. Yes, I am.
(pause)
INTERVIEWER
Do you think that will be a problem?
APPLICANT
Oh, no. I donāt plan to put a huge amount of effort into this job. Iāll just come in when I feel like it.
INTERVIEWER
Thatās not exactly what we are looking for here. We need someone to come in every day. There are actually a lot of responsibilities to this job.
APPLICANT
Oh, Iām sure there are. But as weāve already established, Iām obviously over-qualified.
INTERVIEWER
Okay. So, how would you handle day-to-day operations, not being here everyday?
APPLICANT
Easy. I would delegate. Iām sure thereās some schmuck around just aching for a little more work.
INTERVIEWER
Uh huh. And how often would you plan to come in?
APPLICANT
Probably once a week. At least. Well, maybe once every twoā¦ no, once a week sounds good.
INTERVIEWER
And you would expect compensation as if you were here all week?
APPLICANT
Or course. Why wouldnāt I? Iām sure I could finish all that needs to be done during the week in one day, and what I couldnāt, Iād delegate out. I mentioned that.
INTERVIEWER
You believe you are so much more competent than the job description, that you need ā
the amount of time to accomplish it?
APPLICANT
That is correct. My IQ is 159. Go on. Ask me anything.
INTERVIEWER
How are you with inter-office relationships?
APPLICANT
Like an S.O.? Nope. I never date at the j.o.b.
INTERVIEWER
No. Just general office comradery.
APPLICANT
Oo...No to that one too. Iām only going to be here once a week and Iāll be working that entire timeā¦ so no time for fraternizing. Perhaps the rest of the office could learn a little something from me.
INTERVIEWER
Right. And how would you go about relationship building with your office contemporaries? In order to facilitate a more comfortable work environment.
APPLICANT
Thatās a waste of time. When at work we have tasks. If in order to complete those tasks we must interact with others, we do so, with the most respect, but minimal interest, as itās simply a means to an end. Small talk cuts productivity and cost businesses unnecessary overheads under the guise of āoffice communityā.
INTERVIEWER
Right. Okay. I donāt think this is going to be a perfect fit.
APPLICANT
I agree. I would quit if I worked here.
INTERVIEWER
Well, I didnāt hire you, so you canāt quit.
APPLICANT
Really? Youāre not a little curious if I could do it or not? Just a tiny?
INTERVIEWER
No-
APPLICANT
Really? Come on, be honestā¦
INTERVIEWER
Fine. Yes. Iām curious. You talk a big game, but sound like a sociopath.
APPLICANT
Whoa. Name calling? Now I know Iād quit.
INTERVIEWER
But I didnāt hire you, so you canāt quit.
APPLICANT
No, no. You misunderstand. I was saying that if you did hire me, I would most definitely quit. I meanā¦ look at this place. And you?! Asking me leading questions during an interview about my relationships--
INTERVIEWER
I would fire you first.
APPLICANT
Nah. Youād never see it coming. Iād be your best employee. Then BAM! Outta nowhere. Iād quit.
INTERVIEWER
Best employee?! Ha! I wish you did work here so I could fire you.
APPLICANT
Iād quit first.
INTERVIEWER
Wouldnāt happen.
APPLICANT
Try me.
INTERVIEWER
What? You want me to hire you?!
APPLICANT
Yes. So I can quit.
INTERVIEWER
That is absolutely laughable! You must be a sociopath, but an IQ of 156, I doubt.
APPLICANT
Do it.
INTERVIEWER
Do what?
APPLICANT
Hire me.
INTERVIEWER
Not gonna happen.
APPLICANT
Why not? Afraid Iāll do what I say I can?
INTERVIEWER
So youāre saying I should hire you, youāll come in once a week for what- like 2 months and prove how amazing you are?
APPLICANT
Yeah. Something like that.
INTERVIEWER
Fine. Youāre hired.
APPLICANT
I quit.
INTERVIEWER
No! Youāre fired!
APPLICANT
Um, no. You canāt fire me, I just quit.
INTERVIEWER
Thatās ridiculous. I just hired you. You canāt quit.
APPLICANT
Oh, I can and I did.
INTERVIEWER
Not this time.
APPLICANT
Not this time- what? Are you going to hire me again.. And try to fire me? Do it. I dare you. I promise I wonāt even try to quit.
INTERVIEWER
You ā¦ are ā¦ HIRED! Youāre Fired!
(pause)
APPLICANT
Feel better?
INTERVIEWER
Not really.
APPLICANT
Anything I can do to help?
INTERVIEWER
What? Youāve got to be kidding me! Yes! You can leave! Get out of my office!
APPLICANT
Right. Great. Yeah. So Iāll see ya next week sometime?
INTERVIEWER
No! You do not work here!
APPLICANT
But you hired me.
INTERVIEWER
And then FIRED YOU! GET OUT!!!
APPLICANT
(on the way out)
Good luck filling the position! Sorry it didnāt work out!
INTERVIEWER
GET OUT!!!!
