Dripping with humor, and filled to the brim with those snide comments that appear when you turn your back to it but seems pleasant enough when you look again and it's just charming and yet bizarre at the same time.

I have yet to get hired, but at least I am hired.

I get what the waiting time at the begining was to simulate, but it bugged me so much. xD
Funny game, though,

Hooray, I got hired! Overall, very nice game! It was really funny, but a little too slow-paced for me, especially waiting for the characters to switch. I loved the unique characters though! Nice work!

Ahahah, this is the funniest and most absurd game I've tested this far! Wonderfully nonsensical and the music fits really well. Also liked the reviewer-specific noises :)

I didn't get the interview, but if these interviewers were anything to go by, I'm pretty happy I didn't. It was like being in some sort of slow interview hell, with music eternally playing in the background!

Hi there. Much fun, very good script.. Well done! Hated the long gaps between interviewers, have you worked out to the second how long someone will wait before #RAGEQUIT ? Oh yes, love the music!

Awesome! :D Could use some background animations (snowflakes falling outside the window, a clock on the wall) so waiting periods would be more bearable.
Sadly, I didn't get a job. ;_;
