Animation synopsis: 

There is no perfect interview, interviewee and interviewer. In the job interview, interviewer try to find the perfect candidate that will be perfect suit for the "unknown" opened position. However, no matter how much details the interviewer put in to identify the best candidate. At the end, the result is always surprising and out of our expectation. "Jobwatch" showcase the conceptual representation of such tedious interview process that leads to humorous and unexpected ending. Although the perfect candidate (Crab - Miss Lipsy) pass all tests as a life guard during the interview, but in real situation, she could not swim.
