Getting a job is a really important part of your life, so, I thought it would be a good idea to show what that process looks like for a lot of new workers.
This place looks pretty good, I guess I'll go check it out...
Hello.
Uh, I would like a job please.
Uh, yeah, you actually need five years experience for this position.
But, it's- it says entry level position on, on the advertisement.
That's really only there so we don't have to pay you as much...
Oh. Ok, that- that makes sense.
I mean, I probably couldn't work here forever, but, I guess I'll give it a go...
Hello.
Uh, I would like a job please.
Uh, I, you're actually overqualified for this position, sir.
But, it- it says entry level position on, on the advertisement.
...Yeah, but we're really looking for someone more...
...enthusiastic.
Oh. Okay, that, that makes sense.
Alright, I guess I'll try somewhere right in the middle.
Hello.
Uh, I would like a job please.
Uh, yeah, I'm afraid we've had over 100 applications from people far more qualified than you.
H-How can they be more qualified, it says entry level position on the advertisement.
They have other more redeeming qualities.
(roasted)
Oh. Ok, that- that makes sense.
Well, I guess I better get myself more qualified.
Hello. Uh, I would like a degree please.
Uh, alright, for sure. Uh, I'll sign you up for the next 4 or 5 years, and, just so you know,
each year is gonna be around $10,000, plus your textbooks.
Wait.
How am I supposed to pay for that?
Uh, I don't know, get a job?
