It may be a niche topic but you have contributed something unique and irreplaceable to society.

If you think I'm overqualified then this would be a good opportunity to put my major skill into use". Then dare them to give you a problem to solve. Of course, you don't have to solve it correctly if you can exude the confidence of Robert California.

Jim's natural behavior is to bully. When he transferred to Stamford, he still pranks Dwight miles away - the fax from future and gaydar. He then did his classic stapler on gelo to Andy. And when he was informed by Gabe of a company policy regarding commissions that he disliked, he edited Joe Bennett's audiobook as form of revenge. Oh, did I forget to mention that he purposely leaned in so that Michael falls in the koi pond? This is after he helped him how to be a manager, remember the increase salary episode? He also constantly lies and comes up with unlimited excuses whenever Michael invites him for dinner. And for what? The truth is you like Jim simply because he has good looks and smiles to the camera whenever something foolish is said or happens. This is why I like Robert California because he is immune from Jim - the interview and Yeah, I know that I've won even before getting into this argument. It's right for you to withdraw from someone who's seen The Office everyday for the past 5 years and basically know every character like the back of his hand.

I think this is one of 10 best scenes from the office. Mr. California is off the charts here.

3:08 - 3:30 always cracks me up. The chaotic randomness always gets to me.

"I can tell just from the small interaction we've had already you won't be flattened by anybody. You want to agree with me Jim?" " ʸᵉˢ "

Wish he stayed and appeared more, he was the best part of post-Michael The Office

That is some brilliant piece of acting. From all four - especially Spader. So awkward to watch, but you can't look away.

Jim's acting is perfect here, the Interview question is so sub-par compared to Robert California and Jim knew it as he was asking the question.

James Spader owns whatever room he finds himself in. Dude is too much talent for television.

The way he walks out of that interview clearly shows his authority
