	Are we using the Jewish version of the story of Job, or a Christian one?

 I think the joke here is just that this is an example of a "job interview from hell" or at least a very surreal/oddball job interview.  Basically everything Beret Guy says or does is nonsensical or a non sequitur.  E.g. "this real building I found" gives the impression that it may be a vacant building that he has somehow gained entrance to.  It seems unlikely that a real company would make both apps and stickers for phones.  Obviously you can't get soup out of a wall by plugging a cord into an electrical outlet.  The humor derives from putting oneself in the position of the interviewee being confronted with this odd situation.

 So I've changed the description to reflect the view that "God allowed" and "Satan did the horrible things" rather than that Job "was put through some horrendous ordeals by God to test his faith" which is partially true but technically inaccurate, but I kept that "God did it to test Job's faith".
