I had an interview yesterday at a stationery shop and I was asked a very cool question.
“Sell me a pen,” I was asked. So I got some info from the interviewer; they said they:
✅ Like a fine point
✅ Need a lot of ink
✅ Wanted a fountain pen
I suggested a Pilot 823. Japanese pens have finer nibs, it’s a vacuum filling pen, and (err) it’s a fountain pen!
Anyone would have suggested anything else?
