Plot
Stanley Windrush chats with his father at the Sunnyglades Nudist Camp, and is persuaded to seek a job as a business executive: he is interviewed for the "Detto" company, which makes washing detergent; he makes a very unfavourable impression and fails to get the job. He is then interviewed for "Num-Yum," a factory which makes processed cakes; they taste good, but the process for making them is very disturbing, and an excess of samples causes him to be sick into a large mixing bowl full of the ingredients. Again, he fails to get the job. The recruitment agent tells Windrush by letter that after getting 11 interviews in 10 days and making a singularly unimpressive impression, industry is not for him.
