Somebody Looking For a Job
It’s true. We are the largest newspaper in the nation.
We are far and away number one in circulation.
We need an elite writer to fill this position.
There must be someone talented for the morning edition.
Mr. Kent, could you elaborate on each stint
since the Daily Planet went out of print?
I knew your last editor-in-chief Perry White.
He was quite an astute man and very bright.
Well, I have completely perused your resume.
You are one of many applicants I have interviewed today.
Unfortunately, to you, I have this to say:
You are a talented writer. That cannot be denied.
However, for this position, you are under qualified.
This paper must seek more experienced candidates.
This is something any human resources manager hates.
I thank you for coming in to see me today.
I know you will land another position someday.
