    • Determining the Fate of Elite Graduate School ApplicantsHDH's rigorous admissions process accepts only 0.17% of applicants, emphasizing personality and enthusiasm alongside academic achievements.

      The Head of Admissions at HDH, Ed Roland, was responsible for determining the fate of applicants to America's most exclusive graduate school, where only 0.17% were accepted. With an acceptance rate far lower than Ivy League schools like Yale, Princeton, and Harvard, HDH's rigorous standards meant that out of 7,000 applicants, only 12 were chosen. Ed took his time carefully evaluating each application, reducing the stack from 7,000 to 30, and then personally interviewing those candidates to select the top 12. All applicants held impressive qualifications, including postsecondary degrees, top academic performance, and impeccable references. Even the smallest detail, like a smile, was considered mandatory at HDH. During the interview process, Ed allowed candidates to use their preferred names, and one of them, Stephanie Cortez, introduced herself as Smoky. The interview process emphasized the importance of enthusiasm and personality, in addition to academic achievements. Ultimately, HDH's exclusive admissions process underscored the school's commitment to maintaining high standards and selecting only the best of the best.

    • Impressive academic background, clean driving record, and positive attitude land Smokey the jobSmokey got hired due to her excellent academic record, clean driving history, and optimistic attitude during the interview.

      Smokey Cortez, a top graduate from the University of Florida with degrees in Communications and Public Relations, and a minor in Business and Marketing, impressed Ed Roland during her job interview through her excellent academic record, flawless driving record, and her determination to work hard. Despite her quirky personality and self-prescribed nickname, Smokey demonstrated her commitment to the job by answering Ed's questions honestly and singing the school song. Her impressive academic background, clean driving record, and positive attitude were the deciding factors in her selection for the job at HDH. The interview process involved grilling thirty Gen Z candidates, all of whom promised to work hard and deliver good cheer, and Smokey was one of the eleven exemplary candidates who were chosen to join the team. These new hires would spend the next year crisscrossing America in assigned vehicles, spreading good cheer and terrible puns to the citizenry.
