Tips from TV

Dwight Schrute, from NBC's much-hyped show "The Office" (which was inspired by England's much-hyped show "The Office") may be a fictional character, but this is no deterrent for Fortune Magazine. The publication interviewed Schrute, or rather Rainn Wilson acting as the lovably nerdy character, to see what advice he had to offer for job seekers.

Fortune: What would you like about a cubicle? What would be your favorite thing?

Schrute: I could put pictures on the wall of Michael Scott and my cousin Mose and my laser tag team.

Fortune: I'm sure as a young person climbing the corporate ladder you're a big Fortune reader...

Schrute: Absolutely. I love their articles in Fortune that have to do with pirate ships that have sunk off of Barbados. Abandoned gold mines that still have a great deal of treasure in them in the Congo. And ruins in Peru...Oh wait a minute, that's Fortune Hunter Magazine.

Okay, I wouldn't recommend taking Schrute's advice verbatim. But it's entertaining nonetheless.
