Answer: He was working as a human canonball and he showed up to the job interview in a tartan suit. Americans might not know that tartan is a large check pattern. Image a person standing in front of you in a large check patterned suit! Nickk had the software development background to do the job but Jon said he got the job because of his carnival experience.

Jon knows that customers buy people and he is determined to put together an unusual group because that will result in creative thinking.
