Here is a truly stupid idea: What if you could buy a job interview. You pay say 100 bucks, you get the deluxe tour, all the attention and dedication you deserve, a nice letter highlighting your qualities. Make the process into a real product that is worth buying.

I've never experienced it and I don't know if they still do it but I hear in Belgium they do a lot of things over dinner. If nothing useful comes out of it you split the bill.

Exactly what an already exploitative labor market needs: paid interviews!

I can't see a single way this could go wrong.

Well, at least you got the first part right. That is a truly stupid idea.
