Are you looking for another job? AMIR: Something like that. JAKE: Alright, right off the bat, you've used a sample resume I'm guessing, because your name is Will B. Hired. AMIR: You caught that. JAKE: Yes, I did. And your email address is put@emailaddress.here. AMIR: Okay, can we please just focus on what matters? JAKE: Objective, wow.

You wrote nonsense words, and a winking emoticon. JAKE: Activities, you wrote none, which is honest, but it's probably a bad move. AMIR: Yeah, well, I didn't wanna lie. JAKE: Yeah but then there's a comma and you wrote music. AMIR: Right, well you gotta sweeten the deal a little bit. Right? You gotta tickle the generals.
