Rochester, NY — Frank L. Morris, a man of 42 years hailing from the town of Rochester, had always harbored a dream of working at OnTarget Cyber Proctology Services, a rising star in the field of technology.
He possessed a degree in the science of computers and several years of experience in the field, but his true passion lay in the art of air drumming, a pastime he had devoted many hours to while listening to the legendary band, Led Zeppelin, composed of Robert Plant on vocals, Jimmy Page on the guitar, John Paul Jones on bass and keyboards, and John Bonham on drums. He knew that during their 1974 tour, Peter Grant, their manager, had helped them reach the peak of their fame and success.
But alas, during his interview with the HR representative of the company, Frank made the fateful mistake of displaying his air drumming skills, interjecting drum fills into the conversation, believing it would showcase his creativity and love for music. But the interviewer did not take kindly to Frank’s antics, finding his behavior unprofessional and his air drumming a distraction from his qualifications and ability to answer the questions.
When no call came from OnTarget Cyber Proctology Services, Frank was startled and it was only through the means of a rejection email that he realized his love for air drumming had been the cause of his downfall. Disheartened, he realized that his air drumming, once believed to be one of his finest assets, had proven to be his undoing.
This incident serves as a reminder that in this day and age, the art of air drumming to Led Zeppelin, though a pleasure in the past, holds little value in the job market. Aspiring job seekers would do well to turn their attention to developing skills and qualifications that will aid them in their chosen field, instead of clinging to such frivolous pastimes.
Frank L. Morris, though a devotee of Led Zeppelin, allowed his love for air drumming to be his downfall, failing to secure a position at OnTarget Cyber Proctology Services. He learned the hard way that it is best to leave the art of air drumming to the true professionals and focus on cultivating skills sought after by employers, emulating the example set by the legendary band members of Led Zeppelin, and their manager, Peter Grant.
