Uncomfortable conversations are my bread and butter, and I'm not even ashamed. In fact, I'm pretty good at the game.

The company provides a brief description of the job under its listing, and it sounds too good to be true.

What are you waiting for? Start writing your ideas down. This job was meant for you.

Once you have your funniest jokes lined up, you can apply for the position. In order to do so, you'll have to fill in Cards Against Humanity's application form. It gives you space to write 15 white card ideas, and five black card ideas. So, start filling in the blanks.

If you're having writers block, check out the White Cards & Black Cards 101 on the listing page. It gives applicants tips on how to write the best white and black cards they can. For instance, a white card should be short, punchy, and able to "come alive in the black cards." According to the page, the white card is only "half the joke," so keep that in mind while you're writing.

A black card, on the other hand, is basically the body of the joke. It'll include a blank space that will be filled in with a chosen white card. The company gives tips about where to put the blank space, and encourages applicants to use it after a preposition or at the end of a sentence. Go figure.
