This month's challenge, creating the dialog during a job interview for an unusual position, is now active. Any questions you care to ask, please post to this thread. Have fun!

I'm hoping everybody has had a moving experience taking a job interview. Maybe the interviewer dressed strange, had some weird habits or asked inappropriate questions. The job could be really bizarre. I actually was thinking of a Monty Python skit when I got this idea, e.g., ministry of sillywalks or the argument clinic. It shouldn't be written as a script. Use all your tools of character development and description and most of all have fun creating.

lol, manimal, I wonder if I'm thinking of the same Monty Python skit. It was in John Cleese's How to Irritate People?

Was the "how to irritate" skit the one where at the end the interviewee burst out in anger and three guys standing behind Cleese (the interviewer) held up numbers like judges at an athletic competition? That's not the one I had in mind but it certainly fits! I sure hope some people can get turned on by this challenge and turn out some funny (or gruesome!) prose.

Sorry to be pedantic but I did notice something I feel should be brought to the Moderators attention. When you click on the link to Contests then scroll down to the Writers Forum Challenge and click on that, it brings up the contest page with an error. The Writers Forum Montly Challenge. The word I assume should be monthly? Gremlins sure are pesky little critters aren't they?

Excellent catch. Correction has been made. I hope our failure to edit hasn't kept anyone from contributing to the challenge. Thank you, shemia!
