W = Wikipedia (Interviewer)
A: Hi, I'm here for the interview for the site's open writing position.
W: Oh, we've been expecting you, please, come in. Have a seat.
A: Wow, this place is great.. what a cool space!
W: Thanks, we just remodeled. So, let's get started, shall we? Why don't you start off by telling me a little about yourself.
A: Huh, well, I'm sort of a jack-of-all-trades I guess you could say. I dab into a little of everything. I enjoy sports, movies, geography, mountain biking, science, reading, history, reading history, and pop culture.... but mostly writing.
W: You sound well read and very articulate. What is your level of education?
A: Well, I am a high school graduate with three semesters of community college under my belt.
W: That's fantastic! So what have you written that I might have read?
A: Let's see... You've heard of Cliff's Notes, right?
W: Of course!! One of our favorites around here. Anything else?
A: I have done some rewrites of the Bible, Torah, and Koran and I used to be a researcher for Ripley's Believe it or Not!...
W: Oh great stuff, that's just great! Any media work or scientific journals... things like that?
A: No, I sort of try to stay away from anything credible or that isn't truly bizarre.
W: I see. So you know what we do here right?
A: Oh yeah, I think it's great. Letting guys like me write anything we want and call it fact; then publish it without being screened for accuracy is great... and a great way to catch students plagiarizing on term papers, I might add ;)
W: Bingo! And the best part is we're almost always right! So, what are you looking for in terms of compensation for this job?
A: Oh, I'll do the job for free.
W: You're hired! Now get to typing.
