    i think it’s that only the most desperate people would want to do something as boring as pencil sales.

      I’m interpreting as this man is clearly desperate for work, I’m sure he’s not being picky here. There’s an absurdness to an employer asking “well tell me why pencil selling is your passion” as if only offering labor is not enough, an employee must be enthusiastic about their labor, regardless of how mundane it is.

      And really we see this everyday at ordinary job interviews.
