INT., ANDY'S ROOM, DAY

ANDY is anxiously walking around his room. He keeps on checking the phone, making sure where it is. He paces around the room, he sits at his computer and talks online or reads a Word Document, he watches TV, it is obvious he's anxious. Suddenly, the phone rings and he jumps. He lets it ring once, and receives it the second time.

ANDY
Hello?

INTERVIEWER
Hi Andrew, this is _____ from Clorox. How are you doing today?

ANDY
I'm doing well! How are you doing?

INTERVIEWER
Good! Well now what's going to happen is I am going to ask you a series of questions that I have here organized by skill sets. Then I'm going to ask you a case question along the way as well-

ANDY (to himself)
OH MY GOSH. A CASE QUESTION?!?! JASON TOLD ME THERE WERE NO CASE QUESTIONS!!!!

INTERVIEWER
-so whenever I ask you a question based on your skill set, I want you to answer it in the format of the what the problem was, how you solved it, and what the result was because of your efforts. Okay?

ANDY (starts to stutter)
Okay! Sure!

INTERVIEWER proceeds to ask Andy the first question which is based on his greatest accomplishment. He breezes through, and the interviewer is seemingly impressed.

INTERVIEWER
Good! Great! Okay, now I'm going to give you a case question.

ANDY (to himself)
Oh no... Oh no... oh $(#)!(#$(#$)(#@$)(#@$#$)(& no....

INTERVIEWER
So, the market share of a certain product has increased for 18 straight months at 3%. The past three months, the market share has decreased for 2%. Tell me how you would go about and solve this problem, the steps you would take, and why.

ANDY (to himself)
Oh my goodness... she's giving me numbers?!?!? What am I supposed to do!!!??? Calculate?! AHHHH!!!!!

ANDY (outloud)
Okay... well first, I would suspect a new competitor has entered the market. So ... (he continues on with the answer for a long period of time, stuttering with nervousness, and repeating himself several times).

INTERVIEWER
Anything else?

ANDY (to himself)
Oh crap... something else??!?!?!??!?!?!?!??! #$*#(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANDY (outloud)
Hmm... let's see... hmm.... hmm.......

ANDY (to himself)
Oh my gosh... oh my gosh... oh my gosh... please God let some miracle happen....

ANDY (outloud)
Hmm... well... hmm... What if... hmm... (suddenly a light goes off in Andy's head)... Yes! So what if we did a market survey of the different brands and increase the budge-

INTERVIEWER
Well... let's pretend that this has nothing to do with other competitors brands. Try to focus on something that Clorox can possibly do to increase the share internally withOUT concentrating too much on the competitor's brands...

ANDY
Hmm... oh... okay...

ANDY (to himself)
WHAT?!?! what the HECK does that mean?!!?! Oh man....bad sign if she's dropping hints like that... baaaad sign...

ANDY (outloud)
Well.. hmm...

Andy gives a BS answer that clearly is not what the interivewer was going for. He repeats himself again, and the interview continues to give him tips and hints. He still doesn't get it.

INTERVIEWER
Well, let's just say price is factor - which unfortunately you didn't give me. So what if we change the price - would we do a price match or undercut the price...?

The interviewer goes on walking Andy through the whole process. For the other questions, Andy stutters, mumbles, and does not speak really coherently throughout the end of the interview. He knows it's a lost cause immediately and wonders if he should just hang up on her. He decides to just sit it through the end talking his gibberish until they finally hang up.

ANDY (outloud)
CRAP.
