Next Tuesday, I have a job interview.
The job is at a small company downtown.
On the weekend, I update my résumé.
I print two copies and put them in a folder.
I look at the company's website.
I practice my answers in front of the mirror.
My sister asks me questions, like a real interview.
On Tuesday, I put on a gray blazer and a white shirt.
I arrive fifteen minutes early.
I check in at the front desk.
A woman comes out and shakes my hand.
Hi, I'm Dana. Nice to meet you.
She asks, Tell me about yourself.
I talk about my last job and my English classes.
She asks, Why do you want to work here?
I say, I like your company, and I want to learn.
At the end, I ask two questions.
She smiles and says, We'll call you soon.
I shake her hand and say, Thank you for your time.
That evening, I send a short thank-you email.
Two days later, Dana calls me.
We would like to offer you the job, she says.
I say, Yes! Thank you so much!
I start in three weeks.
