It's no secret that the job applications process is a total sham. The entire ordeal is a bizarre mating dance that would put even the most elaborate rituals of the bird of paradise to shame. You, the applicant, are the male; Prepping your dancing ground with pretty rocks and twig arrangements in the hopes that you might catch a wandering glance from a witting female (or in this case an employer). Once you've drawn their attention… it's time to unleash your best song and dance in order to prove your worth and seal the deal.
We all know that this performance is an elaborate ruse, a facade of eccentric social convention that has been layered on top of what should be a fairly simple process.
If I didn't get so nervous in interviews, I might have the urge to laugh at the performance that I am displaying. Instead, I'm usually in an advanced fight-or-flight response and barely resisting the urge to evacuate my bladder and flee.
Anyways, this clever Tumblr thread has devised a clever way of handling the interview process and we'd love to see this become the norm.
