Hello ! Don't know if this is appropriate and if it fits here, I'll let de mods decide.
Basically I'm beginning to work on a short film project I've been thinking about for a long time now (I'm an editor and this would be my first project as a writer/director). It would be basically about the arbitrarity of our current work environnement, and more precisely about the violence you face daily when you're simply trying to find a job.
One of the main sequences of the film would be an absurd interview for an intership, with questions and “tests” that have absolutely nothing to do with the job description. Personnaly I vividly remember when I was trying to get my first job as an assistant editor, having to pitch an concept for a reality-TV show (for a network that produces absolutely no reality-TV shows and will probably never do…). I was not once asked about the competences that the job actually required.
So anyway, I'm looking for similar experiences of interviews that seemed completely absurd and eventually how you felt about them. It would help me, in addition to my own experiences, to have a better view and understanding on this subject to create a more accurate perspective on it.
Thank you !
