In Shakespearean Job Postings: Interviews with Characters Profoundly Unfit for their Intended Professions, Stephen Cramer envisions a slew of Shakespearean characters, one from each of the Bard's 38 plays, being grilled about why they might--or might not--be a good fit for their proposed organizations. Cue an egregious litany of ineptitude. Much Ado About Nothing's Beatrice, who is notoriously anti-marriage, applies to be a marriage counselor. Jack Cade, fromHenry VI part 2, applies to be a second-grade teacher. This, from the guy who is suspicious of anyone who can read. Falstaff, from Henry IV, attempts to become a bartender, but during his interview he has his fill behind the bar and leaves nothing to drink for anyone else.The book includes a mix of more commonly known personalities (Ophelia, Lady Macbeth, and Iago), some who are the namesakes of their plays (Cleopatra, Henry VI, Richard III), as well as some perhaps lesser-known characters (Holofernes, Jack Cade, Dionyza, and Volumnia), all of whom are worth getting to know, despite their considerable deficiencies in certain segments of the workforce!
