Man Asks Zero Questions In Job Interview, Shows Complete Understanding Of Position And Company

LANSING, MI—Jason Wringer, 23, strode out of the interview with his head held high, confident that he got the job. When asked if he had any questions about the position or the interviewers, he defiantly declared “nope” to demonstrate a complete understanding of responsibilities. And with that, the interview was over.

“I’ve never seen that before,” said the hiring manager Tracy Hellington in disbelief. “That kid had no interest in the job or who he may be working with. He bombed that. Absolutely whiffed it.”

The position was for a front desk clerk at the Northern Middle University library. At face value, it was very simple. Responsibilities include checking books in and out and navigating the school directory, but there are some intangibles. You need to show up on time, communicate well, and problem solve, all things Wringer could've gleaned wisdom on if he only asked.

“I wanted to show them I was the next big thing in clerking,” Mr. Wringer shared over a SoBe and Costco muffin. “Given my reading level and my experience as a summer camp soccer coach, I’d be shocked if I didn’t get the job. I mean, who else on a college campus has such a unique set of skills and experience? I’m about to get paid.”

“We wish Jason the best and invite him to apply again when he gets more experience. But maybe, confide his strategy to a friend first… or anyone. No questions?! Only at Northern Middle,” said a baffled Ms. Hellington gazing out over the campus quad.
