# Virtual Job Interviews As Game Promos King of Cubicles for 'Rubik's World' By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-12-03 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/online-job-shopping-poopsocking-a-definite-plus-for-king-of-cubicles References: [kingofcubicles](http://www.kingofcubicles.com/) Stan (don’t call him Stanley) or “King” wants you to apply for the job of King of the Cubicles. It’s a contest, for Rubik’s World, but it’s also a job because the winner gets the position of game tester, works at home, gets paid, gets perks like a company car, a Nintendo Wii, Rubik’s World game, etc. Personal hygiene is not a biggie. Poopsocking is probably an excellent qualification. It’s a one year contract with an annual salary of $7,326 annual salary for [The Game Factory](http://www.gamefactorygames.com). Stan seems like a pretty cool boss. I gave him the fist bump and he was OK with it. Pretty grueling interview process, so we’ll see. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Virtual Job Interviews:** Opportunity for developing virtual interviewing platforms and software to streamline the hiring process. - **Game Promos:** Opportunity for creating innovative game promotions that offer job positions as rewards. - **Remote Work:** Opportunity for developing remote work systems and technologies to cater to the growing demand for work-from-home positions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Gaming:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the gaming industry include creating interactive job application processes through gamification. - **HR Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in HR technology industry include developing virtual job interview platforms and software. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the entertainment industry include merging job opportunities with gaming promotions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recruitment Metaverse Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-on-roblox.md) - [Work-Ditching Video Game Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-your-boss.md) - [Hard Kombucha Dream Jobs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chief-strainge-officer.md) - [First-Person Television-Inspired Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-for-broadcast.md) - [Fantasy Improv Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dungeon-tryouts.md) - [Job-Themed Obstacle Courses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jobstacle-course.md) - [Gamified Office Worker Exercises](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crouch-beat.md) - [Gamified Career Prep](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefiquest.md) - [Cultural Trivia Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culture-king.md)
