I am currently holding interviews for Twitter followers. Please be advised you need to be able to handle AT LEAST 125 charcters of snark.
SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!
So, this happened on Twitter yesterday:
caitorade At the UCB Training center right now, an improviser is interviewing to become part of a practice group. Let’s push back against this, agree?
benzado If that group wants to do it that way, it’s up to them. And if it catches on, that probably means it works. But I doubt it will.
katespencer Interviewing?!
WinstonNoel Listen, I wrote that guy’s rec letter. Back off.
timothydunn Hey listen. My improv might not be very strong, but I’m very proficient in Excel.
jpurnell wow, that’s what it’s come to?
patbaer I dislike it when half a practice group no shows because they’re not committed, but this seems extreme.
adambozarth This makes me really sad. Unless this practice group offers 40k/year with health and dental insurance.
mikescollins What ever happened to the improv days of just making prospects strip naked and circling whats wrong with their bodies in marker?!
ruby_sneakers unbelievable.
DStoley are they still accepting applications?
You guys I still think mine’s the best. Sorry.

This entire thread is both fascinating and paranoia inducing to the almost-level-one student. *hides behind camera*
