Recently, I told you how a bunch of inappropriate emails and a voicemail from Tom DeFalco led me to an opportunity with Cracked.com. If you read those columns, you may remember that I was on the phone with DC Comics when I missed Tom’s phone call. To be exact, I was speaking with Warner Bros human resources to set up an interview for the job of MAD Magazine front desk receptionist.
To say this was my most demeaning DC Comics interview would be an overstatement. My first interview experience with Joey Cavalieri and Joan Hilty was far more soul crushing. Not because of my interviewers — they were great. Rather, the interview made me realize how savagely unqualified I was for the job.
Though not as bad as my first time at DC Comics, this interview with MAD was still pretty fucking bad. As if to prove that I learned nothing from my earlier shot at assistant editorial, I failed to research my MAD Magazine interviewer. Only being a casual reader of the magazine, I failed to even research MAD’s publication history.
