Can a Monster Hand Puppet Get a Job?
Results of the 2001 Experiment

Read below for a sample of what Human Resources directors all across the country think about Helix!

Re: Audio/Video Installer (Home Theater)

You are hired. When can you come in for an interview?
Re: Sales Executive

Dear Mr. Monster--

I am an independent recruiter/HR consultant, and I received your resume in
response to a position for which I'm recruiting (Sales Executive).  While
your skills and experience are impressive, we're looking for candidates with
proven sales experience.

However, in reviewing your resume and your website, I may be able to help.
Have you considered a career as a Human Resources Consultant?

Your teeth would allow you to scare and/or bite employees who make
unreasonable demands, as well as managers who act like weenies.  Your racial
background and interesting appearance shout "I value diversity!", something
that's prized in the HR field.  Additionally, your commitment to keeping the
Twins in Minnesota indicate a willingness to "think outside the box".  These
all mean that you could charge $100/hour or more as a consultant (in fact,
you might make enough to actually buy the Twins yourself).  Being a monster
to begin with, you wouldn't mind being shunned as a member of two hated
groups (HR people and consultants).

Please give some thought to this suggestion; I really think this new career
path could change your life.  Whatever you decide, I wish you success in
your job search.

Re: Pricing Strategist

Helix,

Thank you for applying to my posting.  Unfortunately we need all of our employees.  We cannot afford to have you go on an eating binge while on site!  Should we be in a position where we need to eliminate any of our workers, we will contact you. 

Best of luck in you endeavors!

Re: Landscape Architect

Hi Helix,

Thank you for your submission.  However after viewing your resume I find that you do not have prior experience.  Therefore; I am afraid I will not be able to consider you for employment as a landscape architect.  However; I would like to recomment a career in modeling.

Thank you & have a nice day.
