Listen up unemployed people who know things about computers and the internet. If your workplace prerequisites include contrived quirkiness and/or a mutual appreciation of Wes Anderson, you might want to consider the internet’s number one source for mealtime inanities and in-jokes (that no one cares about) – Twitter!
To wit, the micro-blogging platform has recently unveiled a recruitment video inspired by Wes Anderson’s breakout ’98 film Rushmore. Think lots of Futura Bold, awkward smiling and a direct lift of Max Fischer’s seemingly endless extracurricular activity montage. Says Twitter: “The employees are the stars at Twitter, and that’s who we focused on in the video (which was conceived, scripted and directed by employees).” Good work employees, all of you look entirely capable of constructing super computers out of clothes hangers, empty red bull bottles and raw data and I completely trust you with my life Twitter account. I find your ability to form a stable human pyramid particularly reassuring.
