A Hilarious Job Application That Left a Bengaluru Founder in Stitches
Bengaluru Founder Amused by Whacky Job Application
Bengaluru, India – In a light-hearted twist to the often-stressful job application process, Paras Chopra, founder of the AI lab Lossfunk, recently shared a hilariously unconventional application he received for the position of executive assistant. The applicant’s responses were so absurd that they not only made Chopra laugh but also went viral on social media.
The Whacky Job Application
The application was anything but ordinary. When asked for his name, the candidate cheekily replied, “confidential hai” (it’s confidential). In response to the question about why he should be hired, he quipped, “Why should you not? Give me one reason… can’t think of anything?? Huh?? Why ask such stupid questions?”
When asked if he was based in Bengaluru, the applicant retorted, “Itna personal kyun ho rahe ho aap?” (Why are you getting personal?). Requests for links to social media accounts and a portfolio were met with equally nonsensical replies.
In a surprising twist, the applicant concluded his application with an apology for wasting the recruiter’s time, explaining that his intention was simply to bring a smile. “Life is short… it’s okay to go crazy sometimes. Take a chill pill, my bros! Peace,” he wrote.
Founder’s Reaction
Chopra, who found the application amusing, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a screenshot of the responses. He expressed his admiration for the applicant’s creativity, stating, “Ok, whoever filled this, you have my respect! Made me chuckle.”
This light-hearted incident comes on the heels of Chopra’s recent success, having sold a majority stake in his startup Wingify for approximately $200 million earlier this year. The acquisition has significantly boosted his net worth, making him a millionaire.
As the job market continues to evolve, this quirky application serves as a reminder that sometimes, a little humor can go a long way in breaking the monotony of traditional hiring processes.
