Full title: Help Wanted: A Comedy That Works For A Living
I wrote this in 1997 as a two-woman show for myself and a fellow grad school alum. We performed in this show in Lubbock, TX. Then the following year, Texas Tech University produced this show with a cast of 5 or 6 men and women in their Summer Rep series which they also took on the road to Angel Fire Mountain Theatre. Copyright 1997 Terri Wilson REPRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, AND/OR PRODUCTION OF THIS SCRIPT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN Daily DeviationGiven 2006-12-02Don't let the couple of extra mouse-clicks to the PDF put you off reading this play the whole way through - I would pay to see this put on stage. Similarly, don't let your own trials and tribulations in jobseeking get in the way of thoroughly enjoying Help Wanted: A Comedy... for what it is - a funny, cathartic, and much-needed jab at the job market. Despite showing such obvious contempt for the hypocrisies and idiosyncrasies of the recruitment world, there is also an undertone of quiet desperation in this play, and anyone remotely familiar with the frustrations of career jobseeking will have no trouble sympathising with ~ninja-librarian's characters. (Suggested by ~Thriss and Featured by `adrift) Comments that was hilarious! awesome work on that skit
-- A German Antichrist Jesuit cannibal god! Chrono Corps Member # 14  You might could put a bit of a warning label on it for college students though...oi...i'm not looking forward to the process.
-- I have tangles in my hair and cobwebs in my ears, I'm aged beyond my years, I've drunk more than my tears.  So awesome! Keep up the great work!!
-- If you're an enormous faggot, copy and paste this into your signature.  That was absolutely fantastic! A thoroughly enjoyable read to say the least! I would love to see this performed.
In the interest of trying to be constructive, I'd like to point out a couple typos I found on page 88. There's a "not" that should be a "no," and a "who's" that could be a "whose." Again, I loved this. Thanks for sharing! -- "When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold." - Aurelius Augustinus  I read as much as I had time for, 20 pages or so, and I fully agree with everyone else here that it's a great script
 -- Generation Z: Concerned Over Name Of Next Generation Never click random links!   this is brilliant!!! i wish i saw this played out in high school!!!
-- --= Due to recent cutbacks, and until further notice, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off =--  That was really, really awesome. I can really imagine that on stage. Wow.
 Thanks for catching the typos! I'll get those fixed before I send this out again.
And many thanks for the watch and the fav! -- "Cheese is the devil's plaything."  Thanks for the kind words and the fav!
-- "Cheese is the devil's plaything." Here's wishing you as painless a job search as possible.

 reports, 1d 3h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community.
