Job Interview
IMPORTANT:
Quick delivery for both actors.

Interviewer:
|So, what are your skills?
Applicant:
It’s on the resume.
Interviewer:
I want you to tell me!
Applicant:
Then resume becomes irrelevant!
Interviewer:
No, I want to hear it; it will take too much time for me to read.
Applicant:
How can you be sure that the time taken by me to say is greater than the time taken by you to read?
Interviewer:
Well isn't that obvious!
Applicant:
Not to me!
Interviewer:
So, let’s say you are hired!
Applicant:
Thank you! So I will start from tomorrow.
Interviewer:
No just assume!
Applicant:
OK! Why assume, you are authorized to give me a job right! And you just said that I am hired!
Interviewer:
No I said, Assume!
Applicant:
Assume what?
Interviewer:
Assume that you are hired!
Applicant:
By whom?
Interviewer:
By me!
Applicant:
OK. I assume that you have hired me.
Interviewer:
Will you work for a little less?
Applicant:
I will work less then!
Interviewer:
No! Then we are not going to hire you!
Applicant:
But why should I work more for less money, isn't that exploitation?
Interviewer:
No, it’s just that we don't feel your skills are up to the mark!
Applicant:
But I never told you my skills!
Interviewer:
No, I read them!
Applicant:
Right now?
Interviewer:
No, before the interview!
Applicant:
Then why did you ask me for my skills before the interview?
Interviewer:
I wanted to check your communication skills!
Applicant:
How did you check it then?
Interviewer:
I listened!
Applicant:
OK. I assume that!
Interviewer:
No, I was keenly listening! You don't have to assume!
Applicant:
So I should stop assuming?
Interviewer:
Yes!
Applicant:
What?
Interviewer:
Everything!
Applicant:
Then what happens!
Interviewer:
You can go!
Applicant:
So only if I stop assuming I can go, but I don't want to go so I should not stop assuming. Am I right?
Interviewer:
Get out!
Applicant:
Not until you hire me!
Interviewer:
I am not going to hire you!
Applicant:
I am not going to assume anything now!
Interviewer:
Please go away, or else I will call security!
Applicant:
I don't need security, I feel safe with you!
Interviewer:
You are impossible to deal with!
Applicant:
Yes, with the deal you are offering I am. I need more.
Interviewer:
OK. You are hired as the new Manager. Welcome aboard!
