Marisa Mayer pulled over to the side of the road, checked the address, and pushed the door to get out of the car.
She woke up before five o'clock today and spent more than an hour carefully preparing for this meeting this morning. Through this period of understanding, she knew that Eric Williams was a very freewheeling person in many ways, and since the other party called her to come over for breakfast together, Marissa Mayer had already determined in her heart that she had probably gotten the job.
The month's hard work has not been in vain.
A month ago, she learned that Eric Williams' assistant office needed a new assistant, and she was immediately moved. Since high school, she has planned her future, and when she gave up the law school that her parents were more optimistic about and stubbornly chose to major in computer science, in addition to her own interests, she noticed the broad prospects of the rapid development of the IT industry.
Originally, she was not prepared to enter the workplace in advance, although she got a bachelor's degree in computer science from a well-known federal university like Stanford University, but she knew that now that she entered the workplace, she could only start from a basic programmer, even if she was lucky, if she wanted to achieve the position of a company's management, it was estimated that it would be ten or eight years later.
But if you get a position in Eric Williams' assistant office, it's different.
Two months ago, she read from the Yahoo portal that Peter Ritchie, a former assistant to Eric Williams, was appointed as the deputy general manager of advertising and marketing at FFM, and before that, Alan Viessman, another former assistant of Eric Williams, is now vice president of ABC Group.
Judging from these two examples, as long as she can enter Eric Williams's assistant office and get the attention of the other party, then, after a few years of work, she can at least get a middle management position in a company under the Firefly system, and at the same time, she will definitely be promoted faster than other managers.
In this regard, even if she continues to get a master's degree from Stanford University, and then starts as a senior engineer with a higher starting point, it will not be possible to achieve the same position in three or five years.
So, despite the job posting's requirement for a master's degree or higher, Marissa Mayer decided to give it a try, not only by carefully preparing her resume, but also by receiving handwritten letters of recommendation from several prominent professors at Stanford University.
It's just that although she was full of confidence, she sent her resume for the first time, because her academic qualifications did not meet the requirements, and she quickly received a rejection call.
A week later, through a professor at the school, she contacted Peter Rich, who happened to be the professor's protégé, and with the professor's recommendation, Peter Rich agreed to help her submit her resume to Kelly Haynes, the head of Eric Williams' assistant office, perhaps impressed by her sincerity, Kelly Lines gave her a chance to interview, and she also successfully passed the interview and entered the final round of candidates.
As the only undergraduate graduate on the shortlist, and with some knowledge of Eric Williams' personality, she was confident that she would be able to get the attention of the other party. Reality did not disappoint her.
The only thing that made her hesitate was that Eric Williams was a well-known playboy, and she was still very confident in her appearance, and if the other party asked her for a date, she didn't know whether she should agree or refuse, or properly fish for the other person's appetite.
Forget it, let's talk about it then.
She looked down at her clothes again, because the other party invited her to have breakfast together, Marisa Mayer was not too formal, the upper body was a camel-colored close-fitting cardigan, a pair of white trousers underneath, and a pair of black stiletto heels on her feet.
Looking up at the mansion in front of her, Marisa Mayer had some envy in her eyes, and she couldn't help but calculate what kind of position she needed to achieve if she wanted to buy this mansion.
Thinking so, she reached out and rang the doorbell, and a moment later, she saw a very small girl turn out of the path in the mansion and walk to the door.
This is a delicate doll-like girl, with a figure of only one meter and a little fifties, who also happens to be wearing a cardigan and slacks, only in a different color.
Marisa Mayer was just glad that the two did not collide, and her face suddenly became a little uncomfortable, this girl, should, surely, will not be an adult, she looks like she is only thirteen or fourteen years old at most. Marissa Mayer doesn't want to touch the intimate affairs of these rich people.
"Hello, Miss Mayer, Eric is already waiting for you."
Caroline opened the door and let Marissa Mayer in, greeted politely, and noticed the unnatural expression on the other party's face, Caroline was a little embarrassed, it was not the first time she had encountered this kind of thing, she could easily guess Marisa Mayer's thoughts, and she didn't want people to misunderstand Eric, Caroline took the initiative to introduce: "I'm Eric's assistant, Caroline Wilson." ”
The doubts in Marisa Mayer's heart did not dissipate, but she realized her gaffe, quickly put away her expression, shook Caroline's hand with a smile, and said, "Hello, Miss Wilson." ”
"Just call me Carly, please come with me, breakfast will be ready soon, you can talk to Eric first," Caroline led Mayer towards the courtyard.
The two entered the villa together, and Caroline led Marissa Mayer to the door of the gym and said, "Eric, Miss Mayer is here. ”
Marissa Mayer saw a man in a sports vest and shorts diagonally waving his hand at the treadmill facing them, and Caroline gestured to her, "Please come over, Miss Mayer." ”
Marissa Mayer put her satchel on the table at the door, walked into the spacious gym, turned her head to look, Caroline smiled and nodded at her, and turned away.
Walking to Eric alone, Marissa Mayer remembered the series of achievements in the man in front of her that others might not be able to achieve in a lifetime, and she was inevitably restrained, but she did not forget that this was actually an interview, and quickly thought about what kind of tricky questions the other party might have.
Well, maybe let her stand next to her for ten minutes, testing her patience.
Thinking of this possibility, Marisa Mayer couldn't help but straighten her waist, relax her expression, and smile at the corners of her mouth, making herself look more confident.
Erik was obviously not a harsh interviewer, noticing Mayer walking up to him, nodding at her, and pressing a few of the previous buttons, the treadmill slowly stopped.
