Old Job New Job

Description

Improvise a scene with 2 players, and give them a job (or let the audience provide the job). Then tell them what job they had in a previous life.

The idea is that somehow in the scene characters reflect their previous jobs in their actual life. The idea is not to `play` the old job, but to show character traits of someone with the old job while performing the new job (are we making sense here?)
