BEWARE! This is a classic 'bait and switch' ad! Oh sure, we'd ALL like a dream job like "Transportation Safety Technician, Kimchi!: But (I've heard) they're just vacuuming resumes for the real job, "Swarmbot Herding Assistant," where all you do is back up the drone that herds swarms of tiny maintenance bots through ventilation shafts to make sure they doh't unionize or spell out rude words for the security camera...
To all applicants: pay no attention to this “R. Lee Procter” and his baseless claims. Red Plan-It! General Consul is drafting a cease and desist order to combat this egregious libel. Our maintenance bots are perfectly happy with their working conditions.
Thanks! The novel I’m writing is set in this universe, with Red Plan-It! Inc. as the chipper yet menacing governing authority of the nascent Martian nation

Love this! I’ve already sent in my application
The Board looks forward to considering your candidacy!
Very sly! I like it.
Funny and plausible!
Family like atmosphere.
This could be a forward, in chapter 1 could start with a young woman, submitting an application.

OMG I love this! While I personally do not meet the qualifications, I hope you will receive many qualified applicants for this most critical position.
Somehow the most unrealistic thing is an employer saying they'll take someone with nothing but a HS degree...
Very funny, would love to see more flash fiction like this from you!
