Chapter 2: New beginning
After graduation, I found a full time job, a small apartment, truly on my own.
I worked at a local hospital as a cashier in the gift shop. I didn't have money for college tuition, so I went to a vocational training school for the poor. I took a secretarial course for the next 9 months, while working at the hospital. Money was tight, I lived on eggs and Ramen noodles. I didn't have time to make friends, party, or worry about those sort of things.
Finally, after 9 months of class I got my vocational degree. Not a fancy degree but the school helped us do interns at small companies, which counts as experiences under out belt. I was ready for a real job, with opportunities, I hope, for growth.
The alarm woke me up at 6 AM in the morning. "Arrrwg", forcing myself out of bed, and into the bathroom to get ready for a job interview at LM Resouces. A company that helps place people for work, better know as a staffing agent.
I arrived at LM with 10 minutes to spare, checked in with the receptionist and sat down nervously to wait for my interview.
"Ms. Chas, Mr. Ling is ready to see you, " said the receptionist.
I got up and walk slowly towards the door behind the receptionist desk. As I was just about to pull the door, it opened. And the most fierce and handsome face appear, it stop me in my track.
"Come on in, Ms. Chas, I'm Jayson Ling" said in a stern and forceful voice. "Please have a seat and let's get started."
"Good moring, Mr. Ling" hoping that I didn't sound as nervous as I was feeling. For some reason this man, made me felt insecure and uncertain of myself. That isn't me anymore, not after my parents past. I thought I out grew that yearning for approval.
"Tell me about your experiences and what you bring to the table?" Mr. Ling said not in the nicest way, mind you. I decided right there and then, this is just a job, who cares if he doesn't approval of me. I know who I am and what I can do.
"I just got my vocational traing, internship, and dedication." I begin and saw that he was waiting for something more.
"I am reliable, trustworthy, loyal, and hard working." I continued.
"I promise that if your hire me, I will do my upmost to ensure that you don't regret your decision. " I finished. I smiled, but inside my stomach was turning a mile a second.
The whole time I was talking, Mr. Ling didn't show any sign of interest at all. I figured, yup, this is practice for my next job interview. I didn't feel dejected or defeated, just determined to make this a positive practice for next rounds of job interviews.
"Remember your promise, I better not regret. when can you start Ms. Chas?" came the unexpected reply.His voice was so chilled and serious, I almost forgot what I had promised.
