interview
An interview is a ritual in which companies grade the illusion called an applicant’s personality. Candidates don armor-like suits and recite the incantation known as a cover letter. Questions then ramble on about buzzwords and abstract values, inevitably looping back to “What are your strengths?” ad infinitum. Triumph promises the illusion of a secure future; failure leaves one clutching nothing but the room’s stale air. Interviewers value comforting answers over genuine truth. Applicants wander like eternal travellers in a never-ending secondary exam.
