Well, seeing as a lot of us are constantly looking for work, and it can be extremely boring/frustrating/depressing etc. I decided to make a thread about looking for a job that would be funny and inspiring. Sometimes we just have to laugh you know! Especially at a time like this.

No, its the silly job interview...watch it, its really funny. Heh, some of the comments are funny too, like one guy said that this is a lot like these interviews go. They ask you questions like "where do you see yourself in this company in five years....personally, I prefer gooooodniiiiiiiiightt dingdingdingdingding."
I think we all need to laugh about this whole job thing, seeing as it is such a big and painful problem for all of us, as we are in, out, afraid of being out, and struggling to get back in and struggling to stay in work.
Please contribute any humorous stories, videos, comics etc. to help us keep a light heart in the face of the economy and the misunderstanding so many of us face in the job world and in life.
Thanks in advance!

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted,
"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 nd 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip." The woman below responded,
"You must be in Management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."
