Sketch: Super Resume Man

I wrote this back in 2010 or so when I was tired of the job market. The idea is that Superman would do poorly in a job interview. It’s pretty basic but hey I wrote it a decade ago.

Index Card Reads:

“So who exactly is that guy who keeps getting all those temp jobs you get rejected for”

Setting: An office:

Hot secretary: Mr. (Boss), the recruiter is coming from Office Temp Solutions with his candidate for that position you need:

Boss: Thank you, send him in.

Headhunter: Hey (Boss), how are you doing?

Boss: Did you find me that guy who can manage IT and databases and knows Basic language for our stapler company. Who do you have for it?

Headhunter: Well, I didn’t really see anyone in this pile of applicants who has that exact skill set but there is this Harvard-educated Rhodes Scholar who has won 3 Nobel Prizes in literature and humanities. I mean, I have no idea why he wants to work at this measly stapler company but he says times are hard and a job’s a job.

Boss: Hmmm, well I need someone who can collate paper. Do you think he knows how to do that?

Headhunter: Well, he sounds like a pretty smart guy to me, I’m sure he can figure it out.

Boss: Allright, Send him in

Boss: Hi Mr. [some Geerman name], can you tell me about yourself?
