Panel 1:

• A woman sits at a desk, facing a man who is seated across from her.
• The woman asks, "What is your greatest strength as an employee?"
• The man responds, "I am willing to perform services in exchange for currency."

Panel 2:

• The woman asks, "What is your greatest weakness?"
• The man replies, "I require shelter and calories to maintain existence and thus, I must perform services in exchange for currency."

Panel 3:

• The woman asks, "Why are you interested in working at this company in particular?"
• The man replies, "This company pays currency in exchange for the performance of services."

Panel 4:

• The woman asks, "Where do you see yourself in five years?"
• The man responds, "Performing comparable services in exchange for more currency."

Panel 5:

• The woman says, "You know what? Let’s start over, okay?"

Panel 6:

• A label at the top reads "Earlier…"
• The woman is seen saying, "Now, just be honest in this job interview."
• The man responds with surprise, "Oh. Wow. Really?"

The comic humorously portrays a job interview scenario where both the applicant and the interviewer engage in a literal and transactional discussion about employment.
