Chapter 5: Prejudice and Grumpy

"Apply for a position?"

Roy heard Ulysses' inquiry, picked up the resume form, and asked the black front desk in a soft tone, "Excuse me, what do we fill in the position column?"

"I'm sorry. The company is full of positions, and I don't know what 'great' talent you have, so I can't help you. "The black front desk has a businesslike face, and there is a written word in his eyes to sit and wait for you to be eliminated from the interview.

Roy didn't care, and there was not much emotional turmoil when he was treated unkindly, because he knew that no matter whether he was flattering or arrogant, the probability of passing the interview was close to zero, so he gave up struggling and was very peaceful.

"The job title should be computer programming or marketing. ”

"GOOD BOSS. ”

Compared with Roy's neither humility nor arrogance, Ulysses is still full of energy, and his self-confidence is added to the buff, and people who don't know still think that he is a member of the internal recommendation and will definitely pass the interview.

The content of the resume is simple.

First of all, the applicant's personal information, such as name, age, gender, home address, telephone number, etc.

Next is academic qualifications.

Although Roy wanted to lie very, very much and fill in the high school graduation, but thinking that Ulysses was also beside him, he gave up this thought and filled in the junior high school graduation in shame.

Fake. Coming out to find a job with this academic qualification is not an ordinary awkwardness, and even filling out a resume requires courage.

The last thing to fill in is work experience.

This is not easy for Roy to fill, because his previous three jobs were all self-employed, and each time he lost more and more miserably, ignorant and reckless. If this black interviewer wants to dig, he doesn't know how to deal with it. Do you confess that you are "young and vigorous" and "young and ignorant"?

If I can still get an interview, then I'm sure the boss of this company must be my long-lost father.

He thought left and right, pondered and meditated, he really couldn't think of which work experience was more suitable for his arrangement, Ulysses, the time bomb was still "clicking" next to him, if the first sentence was a lie, it would definitely take countless sentences to lie, and he was not a delicate detective, this was not his forte, so the probability of being debunked by the old fox in the interview was still close to 100%.

I'm desperate too.

"BOSS, I've written it. ”

Roy caught a glimpse that Ulysses's work experience was also blank and didn't fill in anything, so he swiped his pen and signed his name and date at the end of his resume, and handed it to the black front desk together.

The black man glanced at the front desk and asked incredulously, "No work experience, and you graduated from junior high school?" She sneered, and without waiting for us to answer, she turned to leave, and knocked on a door in the office area with her resume.

Ulysses said to himself: "If academic qualifications can prove ability, then Bill Gates will not drop out of school and start a business, and if experience can measure talent, then there will be no young talents......

Is it ridiculous to measure a person's talent by education and experience? Roy agrees in his heart, but the beginning of the character has been decided, and he is also helpless.

"It sounds like a familiar thing to hear from you......"

"Boss, that's what you said. Ulysses took out the notebook he was carrying, turned to a page accurately, pointed to the quotations on it, and said excitedly.

You're really talented, Roy gave Ulysses half a thumbs up in his heart.

While waiting, Roy pondered and hurried home after the interview, nestled in the quilt to draw circles and reflect, and never got out of bed until he thought of a solution.

After a while, the black receptionist returned to his place, but the resume in his hand remained in the office.

After a few more seconds, an angry middle-aged white man strode to the front desk, threw two resumes on the table, and yelled at the black front desk: "Is there a mistake!

The black front desk stood up tremblingly and anxiously explained, "I-"

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again by the white man: "Besides, the company is no longer hiring, don't you know? Damn it, I don't even know what you're messing around with every day!"

Roy reminded, "Sir, don't you listen to the lady at the front desk first?"

The middle-aged white man's eyes looked at him as coldly as a searchlight, and he shouted, "Sir, are you the candidate who graduated from junior high school? Didn't your mother tell you that you can only find a job after school?"

Fuck, your uncle, you white-skinned pig, I am very angry, you know?

I wrote down this hatred.

Ulysses couldn't help it for a long time, and interjected: "It was Mr. Reed who asked us to come for an interview, and you are so clearly opposed, is it possible that the contradiction between the two of you has reached an irreconcilable state? No wonder Mr. Reed said that we geniuses are needed to join the company." ”

"Reed?" the middle-aged white man looked at the black front desk with inquiring eyes, "How could he do this...... Such a ridiculous thing?"

The black receptionist was finally able to speak, and quickly explained, "That's right. When they first arrived, I had turned them down, but Mr. Hastings told them to interview. ”

Ulysses added fuel to the fire and said, "Hey, it seems that today's interview will not be successful, but we still have to say sorry to Mr. Reed in person." ”

The middle-aged white man's face turned from white to red, from red to purple, glanced around, grabbed his resume, and left without saying a word.

However, after taking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Arrange for them to come to the conference room." ”

Roy listened to it in amazement, it seemed that Ulysses was not stupid at all, and would affectionately call Mr. Reed behind his back, pretending that the two were close, and provoked a black belly. (Appendix 1)

Roy pondered that he was too kind compared to this elf? No, as a leader with a transcendent identity, I could pretend to be forced to pretend to be forced, and if I couldn't pretend to be forced, I would stab myself in the back so as not to be fucked.

Carry out hypocrisy to the end.

The black front desk took them with an aggrieved face, walked through the office area with only a dozen people, and finally came to the conference room, arranged them, and left sullenly, even sarcastic and sarcastic Roy They were in no mood, and she had not come out of the shadow of the reprimand just now, and was in a negative state.

Roy sat in the middle of the conference table, holding his head in his hand, optimistically thinking, if he had taken shit luck and successfully joined this company, would he be reprimanded by his boss every day?

But it's this kind of life that makes it interesting, isn't it?

Roy and they didn't wait long in the conference room when Reed and another middle-aged white man walked in together, but their faces were obviously different, Reed was curious, and the middle-aged white man expressed with a cold face: You guys hate it.

Roy and Ulysses stood up, greeted each other, and sat down facing each other.

The interview officially begins.

Reid introduced: "My name is Reed Hastings, and next to me is the company's co-founder, Mark Randolph, and welcome you to Netflix for an interview. ”

Mark casually pressured them: "Introduce yourself." ”

Reid Hastings, co-founder Mark The name of the company is Netflix?

Royce's mind flashed into his mind a future giant company, a giant in the Internet entertainment market with a market value of more than $66 billion, and the CEO of this company was none other than Hastings, who had served for more than two decades.

Now, their company should not be established for a long time, the head office has no more than 20 employees, and the various business models are not yet mature, and it is time to make great progress.

Thinking of this, Roy involuntarily sat up straighter, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
