Great Moments in Unemployment

Scene: St. Mark’s Comics. A basement level store filled with books that never seem to move. Two people working. In walks JOHN. John is incredibly hot, looks like he just stepped out of the shower and has red teeth due to buying a Water Ice. He clearly looks great right now.

John: Hi—are you guys still hiring?

One of the employees nods.

Employee: Yeah.

John: Oh, great. Is there an application to fill out, or…?

Employee: Nope. Just drop off your resume and we’ll see if we can use you.

John: Oh…ok…uh…I’m not sure if my resume would help.

Employee: Do you have retail experience?

John: Yes, but…um, I worked in a grocery store.

Employee: Was that your last job?

John: Oh, no. I was an editor for a special events website, kept it updated daily, did basic reporting for it and beta-tested it prior to our relaunch.

Beat.

And I was also the special projects editor for the site…

Employee: Uh.

John: So, leave a resume.

Employee: Yes.

JOHN nods and leaves. Scene.
