Winter Reminisces of A Lazy Student Job-seeker

9:00hrs: I'm due for an interview this afternoon, and I'm like... this is too slippery for me.

I mean, your normal job application follows a well known pattern. You make an application (usually written), after which the invitation for an interview comes.

This one is new to me.A guy flushes a Flier on my face and asks if I'm looking for a job.

I read the contents of the Flier hurriedly because I'm rushing for a lecture.....and I nearly forget about it, only to retrieve it later.....just when I'm about to throw my shirt into the washing machine. I say to myself WTH, I'm going to try this one...

15:00hrs: So here I am in front of these two people (a lady and a gentleman) who are too nice to be true.

They roll the plan of this job, and ask my views concerning it.

If only they knew that I'm literally shaking on my seat as I put my vision on the table, they would call for a small break ....well twenty minutes later, it is over.

You and I know that I'm not the guy they're looking for....these HR guys!

You can see that the lady in particular, seems to have dealt with so many job applicants, that she knows how not to make you think that the job is not particularly structured for you...

Well, to cut a long story short, I'm out of the interview room actually sweating and thinking: how foolish could I even think that I could fit in a dot.com job?

Well when I come out, the Flier guy is pretending to be too busy to notice my sweaty face.

Hear from us later, he mumbles as I hurry out.....

16:38 hrs: Well wonder of wonders, I receive a call that I've got the job and I'm due for an induction the following day!

.......................... .............................. .............................. ........

18:00 hrs: There is this guy who seems to be so paranoid that his girlfriend has actually written a blue-print for his ex-status(well to be honest, the GF seems to be too popular with guys).

The lighter side of this story is that the girl shared the contents of this blue-print with her mates who think that the document is actually a potential best-seller.

To prove this, they sold the first 20 copies of the draft in two hours @ 50p a copy.

What is the moral of this story? Don't ask me to prove it mate, but I think the confident campus male species is sort of getting extinct!
