Thank you for your interest in this humiliating minimum wage position. If you’re looking for a fast-paced career where you can handle damp one-dollar bills and wear a mustard-yellow polyester polo shirt, you’ve come to the right place. A career at Crazy Dave’s Wieners is an exciting opportunity for when you’re either starting out at rock bottom, or returning to rock bottom for your “second act” in life.
But before we go any further in our rigorous screening and interviewing process, we need to make sure that you’ve got the correct temperament and cognitive reasoning skills to be a successful Wienerista. That’s why we’ve sent you this assessment full of meaningless jargon, rejected Myers-Briggs questions, and unlikely hypothetical situations that will both confuse and upset you. The hard truth is that not just anyone is cut out to work a cash register and pump mustard onto a tube of meat, and we need to ensure that you’ve got the chops!
Instructions for the assessment:
It’s very important that you take this assessment in a cool, dry place free of distractions, but also with proper ambient lighting to put you in the correct Wienerista mindset. You will only have 10 minutes to complete the assessment. The assessment includes a clock that will beep at you then yell out the remaining time in a different language each time a minute has elapsed.
Try not to overthink the questions and just answer what initially comes to mind. But also keep in mind that what seems like an arbitrary or easy question may inadvertently cause you to fail this assessment and, therefore, you will be the failure who was somehow unable to secure a cashier position at a hot dog stand. But again, just do your best. There are no wrong answers, except for the wrong ones.

Results:
We’ve reviewed your assessment responses, and at this time, we unfortunately will not be moving forward with your application for Crazy Dave’s Wieners. We understand this may be disappointing news, as you were only applying for this position out of total unfettered desperation. Surely you can understand that a position such as this demands a specific personality and temperament, and due to a high volume of desperate applications coupled with a low volume of qualified HR representatives, we must rely on non-scientific assessments that we picked up on the cheap from a consulting company that was going out of business to make our hiring decisions.
Again, thank you for your interest in a career with Crazy Dave’s Wieners, and please don’t lay awake at night wondering if you should have picked krav maga. It wouldn’t have made a difference.
Have a Wieneriffic day!
