Recap of today's interview with my next potential boss...

Hi, My name is Carol. Yes I’m a man. Your company likes you to interview people with names that break gender barriers (Carol, Dana, Lindsay, George, Fred, etc.). How would I describe myself? Hawaiian Tee shirts. What do I know about social media? It’s a sham, there is no such thing as new media. You know what I think is funny? That women use The Facebook. There are a lot of women in our industry- probably because it’s a low paying industry and men know they should make more than women. What would you say I look like? A mix between Ron Burgundy and Bernie (Weekend at Bernies). The most important thing to remember when talking to a reporter is their name. I told that to Todd—I think that’s his name--- the guy with the beard. You mean Nate? Yes, yes Nate. So I’m from Utah and no I’m not a Mormon. I like to use Mormon jokes in an interview to make people feel awkward--- oh I also like to talk about politics and Veeagra. Do you get a lot of the spam in your email? I do. They’re always trying to sell me Veeagra. So if I decide I want to work here and I’m offered the job I’ll write you a letter of recommendation after you’ve served two years here because I know people don’t stick around. I’m an excellent writer though and my letter will get you a job anywhere- just not with me- because you’ll be gone after two years, remember? What do I know about PR? I know about TV and that is PR. TV is new media- it used to be new and now it’s old media. Understand? No. Oh well. So I’d ask you about yourselves but I don’t know if I’ll ever see you again so I’ll talk more about myself. I’m great. I have a mustache. My wife dresses me. We have a cat and I drive a Pontiac.

Names have been changed to protect the innocent.
