Act 1 - Scene 1

The Players:

Bill: a 45-year-old engineer, recently laid off from a technical company.

Jack: a 27-year-old engineer, who works at the Company, a vacation resort. Jack is also an active alumnus of the university, where Bill also attended.

John: a friend of Bill’s, who plays a minor part in the conversation (very minor in fact).


The Situation:

Bill would like to work for
the Company, so he contacts Jack via alumni channels. They have lunch (Jack has the Bleu Cheese Burger Wrap but forgets to ask for no mushrooms—Jack hates when that happens). Jack agrees to help Bill find a job with the Company, especially given Jack’s strong technical background. Jack gives Bill some tips on how to make his resume more relevant for the Company. Jack lines up an interview and a few contacts, but no luck for Bill. About a year later, Bill resurfaces via e-mail.
