Chapter 53: Farewell
When I got back home, I lost all the clothes in my closet and replaced all my makeup. I never wore makeup, I put on mature makeup, I took off my trousers and put on a miniskirt, I threw away my flats and replaced them with high heels, and I went to get six ear piercings, three on the left and three on the left and right.
I was anxious to say goodbye to my old self.
I traveled through interviews in one company after another, and finding a job was not as simple as I imagined, not that you would receive an offer if you received an interview invitation, nor that someone would use you if you had an academic qualification, and ability was more important in the social environment.
This is a place where each has its own abilities, and we all have a lot of energy to quickly break out of the encirclement in this fight.
After countless battles, I was exhausted. When I got home, I took off my high heels and looked at the blood blisters on my heels, and my tears flowed uncontrollably.
My father came to my room with the grapes that had been washed for me, and I subconsciously wiped my tears, but my father still saw the tears remaining in the corners of my eyes.
My father slowly walked up to me, put the grapes on my desk and comforted me, "It's okay, my girl is so good, she will definitely get a job, and if you don't go to the wholesale department to help your mother work first, in short, you will definitely not die of hunger." ”
"Dad, it's okay. I have three more interviews tomorrow, so I'll definitely get a job. I smiled at my father, a smile that comforted him and encouraged me.
"Dad always feels sorry for you, if it weren't for the fact that my body is getting worse day by day, you won't give up the great opportunity to go to graduate school. Father's voice suddenly choked.
"Dad, even if I take the graduate school entrance examination, I may not be able to pass the exam, there is nothing wrong with coming out early to work and earning money! ”
"Jing, you should be admitted to graduate school. "My father looked at me with guilt on his face.
Looking at my father's wrinkled face and the handful of gray hair on his sideburns, my heart couldn't help but tremble, the last time I came back to see my father, my father didn't have so many gray hairs on his head, and there were not as many wrinkles on his face as there are now.
At this time, I deeply realized that my parents are old, and I should grow up!
"Hey, Dad, I don't think undergraduates are worse than graduate students, and if I want to take the exam in the future, I can still take the exam!
"You've graduated here, can you still take the exam?"
"Of course, there are many forms of learning now, and the big deal is that when the time comes, I will take the on-the-job graduate exam, and the academic qualifications are all recognized by the state, so, old comrade, you see that you are outdated, right? The current era is not better than your era, as long as you want to learn more methods and ways!"
"Okay, you can change your clothes and come down to eat, I made you braised fish today. ”
"Well, I'll change my clothes and go down. I nodded happily to my father.
Looking at the back of my father's departure, I couldn't help but feel sour again, my father's back was hunched, his legs and feet were not flexible, and he walked more and more slowly........ He was so tired of this family that he had to bend down.
At that moment, I secretly vowed in my heart: tomorrow's interview will only be successful and not failing, I will find a job as soon as possible, and I will shoulder the responsibility of supporting my family.
After countless failed interviews, my heart has long been flattened. I lowered my salary expectation from 5,000 to 4,500, then from 4,500 to 3,000, and finally I told myself that I would do it even if one company offered me 2,500.
The next day, I came to a private company for an interview, the interview was an administrative assistant, that day there were nearly 20 people standing in the corridor to interview for administrative assistants, I suddenly wanted to retreat, but when I thought of my father's rickety back last night, I gritted my teeth and handed over my completed resume to the front desk, and then stood in order and waited for the start of this "blind date".
I had a video call with them one night, and I told them about my recent interview experience, which I jokingly called the interview a "blind date" one after another.
"Why is the interview a blind date?" Su Ruo looked puzzled, she felt that these were completely two different behaviors, how could they be confused?
"Don't you think? Think about it, an interview is like two strange individuals meeting for the first time, and then introducing themselves to each other, and then judging whether the other party is suitable for you after the introduction, sometimes you fall in love with other companies, but other people's companies don't like you, sometimes other people's companies fall in love with you, you don't have a match, isn't this the same as a blind date?
"Oh, according to your analysis, it's still very similar in form, but the object is different. ”
"That's right, so you're going to have to participate in this blind date one after another soon!"
"Liang Jingzi, which one is Liang Jingzi?"
Just when I was still immersed in my memories, I suddenly heard someone calling my name, I suddenly got up from the chair, stood straight and looked at the person nervously and shouted, "I, I.... I'm Liang Jingzi. ”
The man looked me up and down, looked at me and said, "Come with me, it's your turn." ”
I nodded slightly, and hurriedly followed the staff member to a large conference room, she motioned for me to push the door in, I gently pushed the door open, at that time I was full of thoughts about whether there would be garbage at the door, did I pick up the garbage and put it in the trash can? Is there a chair opposite the interviewer, and is there a problem with that chair?
I pushed open the door and looked carefully left and right, but I didn't find any garbage on the floor, I subconsciously looked at the environment of the conference room, there was a U-shaped conference table in the conference room, and three interviewers were sitting on the chairs directly opposite the door looking at me.
I looked at the rows of chairs, which was different from the interview scene described on the Internet? Do you want me to find the chair that they have manipulated in this row of chairs?
As I paced back and forth in front of the row of chairs, the three interviewers were all confused when they saw me like this, and one of the ladies couldn't help but ask, "Is there no chair you like here?"
"Ahh
"Since it's not, let's just find a chair and sit down!" the lady continued.
Looking at the stack of resumes on her right, and the fact that she was the only one of the three interviewers who took the initiative to ask me, I guessed that she should be the HR of this company.
I quickly pulled out one of the chairs and sat down, the chair was intact. Looks like I'm really thinking too much.
"Introduce yourself!" the lady continued.
I straightened myself up a little and cleared my throat slightly, with the same professional smile on my face that I had trained countless times at home.
"Hello teachers, my name is Liang Jingzi, graduated from Beijing *** University, I studied business administration, just graduated this year, I can be proficient in the use of various office software, English level 6 has passed, I came to interview for the position of administrative assistant in your company today, thank you teachers for giving me this opportunity to interview. ”
"I read what it says on your resume, you entered the school in 2012, shouldn't you graduate next year?"
"Well, I finished all the courses early, so I applied to the school for early graduation. ”
"Then you are very powerful, by the way, why didn't you consider staying in Beijing or continuing to take the postgraduate entrance examination at the university you attended in Beijing?"
"Because my hometown is here, and my parents are not in good health, I want to come back to work as soon as possible, so that I can reduce the financial burden on my family and take care of my parents, so I don't plan to go to graduate school and stay in Beijing. ”
"It's quite filial. The lady finally showed the only smile I'd had since I came in, and it seemed that the emotional card had been played correctly.
"Then tell me, what kind of job is an administrative assistant in your eyes?" A man sitting in the middle of the three suddenly asked, the boy was about 35 years old, and he had a big back like Gu Shengnan, his hair was shiny, and he should be dressed as a leader.
"An administrative assistant is seen by a lot of people as a miscellaneous position, but it's not really, it's an indispensable position in a company. It is the most direct way to understand what employees and leaders need most, and its work content often reflects the current situation of the company at a certain time period. It requires the person in the position to have a strong sense of insight, as well as the ability to adapt to situations on the spot.................."
While talking eloquently about my understanding of the administrative assistant, I held the Jin Ruyi bracelet that Zhang Bei bought for me in my right hand.
It was locked in a box with the ticket stub, and I solemnly stored it in the bottom drawer of the bedside table, and I swore to let them lie in the box forever, but I don't know why, I took out this bracelet by surprise when I was about to leave the house today, and in order not to distract myself, I put it in the inside pocket of my bag, and I took it out and held it in my right hand before entering the conference room.
