Chapter 95: Adventures in Finding a Job
"It's your business." The lady glanced at the small dimple, picked up the LV bag on the sofa, and walked to the door: "I hope that when I come back tonight, I will see an empty room." β
Looking at the noble lady's ruthless back, I was speechless. Why am I hiding? Renting an apartment? I don't have a job, I can't afford to rent. What's worse is that I'm penniless, and it's a problem to even eat tonight. You have to find a place to stay today before dark, or you will have to sleep on the streets. Staying at a friend's house? No way! When it comes to borrowing money, their answers are very decisive. What face shall I have to beg them? I don't want to hear the tone of voice when someone rejects me, and I don't want to see the determined face when someone rejects me.
"Brother Tofu, why don't you live in my house." Little dimple took my hand and said.
I declined, saying, "That's not good, I've troubled you enough, why bother your family?" β
Little Dimple smiled and said, "It's okay, my mom is very hospitable." β
No matter what Dimple says, I won't say yes. It's still early, I can go to the job market and find a factory or company that offers accommodation. I'm not talented, but I'm not stupid. As long as accommodation is provided, even if it is to ask me to pull a tricycle for delivery. I'd do both.
I slapped my thigh and suddenly realized, "Ah! I remembered. One of my classmates recently bought a house, and he said that he was lonely and asked me to accompany him several times. β
I performed well and told a big lie. Little Dimple listened, believed it, and was very happy for me, and said: "I just thought, there is no endless road, Brother Tofu is popular, there must be a lot of friends, there must be a way, it's really good." β
The only shortcut to today's dinner and accommodation is to find a job with food and lodging right away. And such a job is difficult to find for a while. I didn't want Dimple to see my failures again, so I excused myself by going to the classmate who agreed to stay with me tonight and leaving her alone.
I thought I was a talent, so I went straight to the talent market. The talent market is crowded, crowded, and it is really a talent "crowded", which is more lively than the vegetable market in the morning. The vegetable market is to sell vegetables and meat, while the human market is to sell brainpower, both of which are buying and selling businesses. There are few things that can't be sold in the vegetable market, but there are few talents who can sell at a good price in the talent market. The bosses of the talent market want to find a horse that can work without having to eat grass.
And some people in the talent market, they just want to be a horse that only eats grass and doesn't work or does not work much. But as for me, as long as someone takes me in, I can be a cow or a horse. However, in the eyes of my boss, I was a lame horse.
"How long have you been graduating?" The boss clasped his hands to his chest and looked straight into his eyes.
"It's been almost a year." I laughed along.
"What kind of work have you done?" The boss remained expressionless.
"Sold electrical appliances." I nodded.
"What else?" The boss is a bit aggressive.
"No more!" I apologize.
"I'm sorry, we only need to have work experience, you don't have any experience." Although it is an apology, it is actually not polite.
"I can learn, and I learn very quickly." I'm sincere.
"Hmph, we're not a school!" The boss was cold.
In the eyes of the boss, if he has worked for less than a year, he is a rookie with no work experience in the workplace. Anyway, there is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here.
β¦β¦.
"You graduated from a normal university?" Behind a pair of glasses, there is a pair of skeptical gazes.
"Yes." I'm accompanied by a smiling face.
"I should be a teacher. Want to be our teacher? I'm sorry, but we don't need teachers in our company, and we don't need you to teach us. The boss put down his resume, leaned back in his chair, raised his head, and lifted Erlang's legs.
This person is too shallow, and he is arrogant, hum! Can normal students only be teachers? Narrow-minded! Working with this kind of person won't make a difference, so much more.
β¦β¦
"Chinese?"
"Yes, Chinese language and literature."
"I should be a reporter or secretary, how can I apply for sales?"
β¦β¦
Hey, rejected again. Well, since I'm not a talent, it's always okay to sell my body. I switched to the labor market.
"Undergraduate?"
"Yes."
"We don't need that high diploma here, we just need to recognize the ten numbers from 0 to 9."
"I don't ask for a lot of qualifications, but I can be a coolie."
"You wear a pair of glasses, Sven, thin arms and legs, I'm afraid it's not up to the job."
β¦β¦
Does a high diploma get in the way of work? Really! I took off my glasses and changed to another flat.
"Economist?"
"Yes, hehe."
"Our temple is too small, I'm afraid it can't accommodate high-ranking monks."
"Actually, I'm a little monk who just debuted."
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, I'm afraid I won't be able to control you, so let's find another job."
I put away my diploma and vocational qualification certificate, and changed my resume, and the column of the cultural program dΓΉ reads: Primary School Ran
I applied for a job as a dishwasher at a food stall.
"Oh, it's the 21st century now, I haven't graduated from primary school, it's equal to illiteracy, how can I do it?"
"Boss, I'll just try to wash the dishes."
"No, as a boss, I have to think about the whole of my employees."
β¦β¦
High diploma is a problem, no diploma, or a problem. I walked up to a construction company and applied for a small job.
"People from Ningnan City?"
"Yes."
"Ouch, boy, you have to work under the sun, you can't stand it."
"Boss, I can take it."
"City people can't do the work of country people."
"Boss ......"
"Let's go, don't fool me."
β¦β¦
I took all the exams for all the recruiting units that included food and accommodation, and I missed all of them. However, I was still ruthlessly "missed" by the bosses. It wasn't until the labor market closed that I had to leave disappointed. I'm not reconciled, I'm not a talent, at least not a stupid person. I was born to be useful, and I don't believe I can't find a bite to eat.
As I walked down the street, I kept my eyes fixed on the restaurants on both sides of the street. Look at which one has a job posting, whether it's a large restaurant or a small roadside powder shop, I won't let it go. With my efforts, I finally found a recruitment announcement for a powder shop, which read: 1 waiter is urgently recruited, male or female, with or without experience, 18-30 years old.
I'm only twenty-three years old, and my boss must have taken a fancy to me. So, I confidently stepped forward and asked, "Boss, are you recruiting here?" β
The boss nodded and said, "Yes, what about the people, did you bring them?" β
The owner looked around me and didn't find anyone else.
I laughed and said, "That's me, boss, do you think I'm suitable?" β
When the boss heard this, he was dumbfounded, looked at me from top to bottom, and said, "Hey, handsome guy, make fun of me?" β
I was sincere: "Boss, I'm serious, I'm able to endure hardships." β
The boss said self-deprecatingly: "You come to be the boss, I'll work for you." Hehe. β
"This person is either insane or trying to play a prank."
"Weird, there's something wrong."
"I think he's nervous."
Behind my back, there was criticism.
"Looking for a job? Please come in, please come in! "I finally met someone who warmed my heart, and my heart was like seeing a fire in the cold winter.
An intermediary took me into a labor agency. Before I could speak, he pulled out a lot of information, all of which were job advertisements.
The agent said enthusiastically, "What kind of job are you looking for?" We all have it. β
I smiled and said, "Hehe, I'm looking for something to eat and shelter." β
"For a person as cultured and high-minded as you, this restaurant should be very suitable for you." The agent pointed to a numbered but obscured star hotel.
I got excited and replied, "Okay, that's it." β
Seeing that I was satisfied, the agent immediately dialed the phone and said, "Hey, boss?" I'm Xiao Wang. There's a handsome guy here, very eye-catching, wearing a pair of glasses, very cultured, do you want it? β
The other end of the phone listened, very excited, and said cheerfully: "Yes!" Bring him over right now! β
