"That's all for today." Rockefeller said to Scrooge, raising his eyes and looking west, where the setting sun was beginning to approach the western horizon along its eternal track, and turning half of the sky in color.

"In two days, I'll be graduating from business school." Rockefeller said, "Then it's time to find a job, and I'm sure I'll get a good job!" He quietly clenched his fists.

"Well, I'm about to graduate too, so I'm going to have to think about that." Scrooge said.

"You monster," said Rockefeller, not without jealousy, "you are still very young, what are you doing in a hurry to work?" But fortunately, you're probably helping out in your own workshop first, so you won't immediately run out and grab work with me, right? ”

In those days, technical jobs were still passed down from generation to generation. Businesses such as making leather shoes, starting from the grandfather's grandfather, have remained unchanged from generation to generation, which is also a tradition. So it seems to everyone that Scrooge will continue to make shoes with his father, and then Scrooge's son will continue to make shoes until Jesus Christ comes back into the world. But, John? Rockefeller didn't see it that way.

"I know, how could someone like you, Scrooge, be as honest as your eldest brother Carol as a leather shoe maker? However, I think it is better for you to familiarize yourself with the operation of the business in your own workshop, and then go it yourself. Rockefeller continued.

"Well, you have a point. But......" Scrooge thought for a moment, "John, you know, the traditional workshop-style way of doing business is behind the times. You see, many years ago, most of the cloth in the market came from handicraft workshops that had been passed down from generation to generation, but with the advent of the Jenny loom, where do you think those hand-weaving workshops were still there? John, the workshop is lagging behind not only in the way it manufactures leather shoes, but also in its entire mode of operation, including the mode of purchasing and sales, which has fallen behind the times. ”

"Then you can change it." Rockefeller said, "Isn't that what you're good at?" You've changed a lot lately. ”

Hearing this, Scrooge just smiled. He didn't want to get into trouble with his family because of the problem of business philosophy, and finally get to the point where he turned his face directly and didn't get along with each other. Well, isn't this alarmist, John in front of you? Rockefeller is a good example. Later, he and the third child of their family had a complete turn of face because of business problems, and the third child even used such a drastic means as moving his two children who died from the grave of the Rockefeller family to show his determination to break with John.

"I can't change the big trend, and going against the big trend is a dead end." Scrooge said, "But what you said also has some truth, I'd better help at home first, see more, learn more and then come out to find things to do...... Oh, by the way, are you prepared for a job search? ”

"I don't have much to do, I can only ask one by one. I found a roster of local companies with some information about them, and I also found out about them from newspapers and other sources, and I was successful. Rockefeller said.

Scrooge was about to say something, but a shout came from afar: "John! Come back, your dad is coming home. ”

John? Rockefeller's daddy Bill? Rockefeller is a professional liar who sells counterfeit drugs, and in line with the principle that rabbits don't eat grass next to the nest, Bill naturally won't cheat in his own area, so most of the time, Bill is not at home. Of course, the more important reason why Bill is not at home often is that he has deceived an eighteen-year-old ignorant girl elsewhere and started another family with her - Bill has already committed countless frauds anyway, and he is not under any pressure to commit bigamy or something.

John's mother, Aleza, knew that Bill had taken another wife outside, but she didn't get into a big fight with Bill, nor did she mention it to anyone, but just endured it in silence. This may be due to the influence of her religion, and on the other hand, it may also be due to the fact that she would not be able to support several children without the money Bill has given her.

But Bill's messy things, outsiders don't know, his own family won't know, at least, John is clear about what is going on with his father. However, to say that Bill is indeed a capable person, with a lot of skills, and has taught John a lot of things, so John is dissatisfied with his father on the one hand, but on the other hand, he still admires it a little. So hearing this, John? Rockefeller immediately stood up and responded first; "I'll be right back!" Then, while packing up his notes, he said to Scrooge; "I'm going back."

"Okay," Scrooge said, "find a job and tell me." ”

……

John? Rockefeller stopped in front of a company, carefully groomed himself, wiped the dust off his shoes, and pat off the dust that had stuck to his body after walking for several kilometers - he didn't have the money to ride in the public carriage now, and even if he did, he wouldn't waste it, anyway, he couldn't walk any more - and looked up at the door of the company.

"This is the fifth day of job hunting, and the thirtieth company I've found." John? Rockefeller said to himself silently before he walked into the company.

"Is there anything you can do?" A staff member asked him enthusiastically. But John? Rockefeller knew that his next sentence would blow that enthusiasm away from that man's face like a hurricane blowing away a blade of grass.

"I want to see your boss, I'm here to apply for a job." John? Rockefeller said.

Sure enough, as expected, the smile disappeared from the clerk's face, and now his face was completely devoid of expression, looking like an iceberg.

"The boss is not here!"

This kind but cold sentence is like a gust of wind, John? Rockefeller turned into a fallen leaf, which was blown out of the company by the gust of wind and into the streets. On the streets, John? Rockefeller looked at the notebook in his hand, carefully took out a pencil, drew a horizontal line on the name of a company, then looked carefully at the address of a company written below, then looked up to identify the direction, and walked in the other direction—the next company was on the other side of the city, and there was still a long way to go.

……

"John!"

Just in John? When Rockefeller was blown into the street again by a gust of wind, a voice came from behind him. He looked back and saw Scrooge coming from there with his big brother Carol pulling a small cart. Scrooge waved at him as he helped push the cart.

John? Rockefeller walked over and reached out to help Scrooge push the cart. He saw that the cart was piled up with all sorts of things, some nitrated leather, some potions, and other things he didn't recognize.

"Hey, John, how's it going today?" Someone came to help, and both Carroll and Scrooge were a lot more relaxed. So Carol asked John about his job search.

"yes, be careful, don't get your clothes dirty." Scrooge said.

"It's very unpleasant." John? Rockefeller said, "I've been to more than 30 companies in the past few days, but none of them are interested in me." ”

"How so?" This situation was not what Scrooge had expected. In Scrooge's view, there is no shortage of job opportunities in the United States today, even if John? Rockefeller has a very high vision, and he is looking for the top local companies, which is more difficult, but with his plain zhì, he will not even get a chance?

"Well, it's not going well anyway, I was just going to talk to you about it. When we get home, we'll talk about it in detail, and we're going uphill ahead. "John? Rockefeller replied.

There was a long uphill climb ahead, and it took a lot of effort for the three of them to get the car up. In a slightly flat place, they parked the car and took a little rest. Carol and Scrooge both wiped the sweat from their faces with their clothes, and John? Although Rockefeller was also sweaty, he didn't dare to wipe it directly with his clothes like they did, because this decent dress would be used tomorrow, and he didn't have to change it if it was dirty.

……

"That's how you're looking for a job these days?" After listening to John? After Rockefeller explained his job search process, Scrooge said, "You tell me why you chose these companies, and if you look for a place like the 'little Jasmine' next to us, you should be able to easily get a job." ”

"That kind of place is too bad, isn't it?" John? Rockefeller pouted and said, "I feel like I'm capable of working in a better company." ”

"Then how do you know that the companies you're looking for are better than that 'little Jasmine'?" Scrooge continued.

"Of course, and I've looked into it...... Wait, I kind of get what you mean. "John? Rockefeller said, "I went to them because I knew them, but they didn't know me." All they knew about me was how I looked. Compared to the more mature and more experienced guys, I didn't seem to have any advantages, or even disadvantages. So of course they won't give me a chance. Right? Scrooge, that's what you mean, right? ”

"He really deserves to be a rich man in the future, and his reaction is fast!" Scrooge secretly admired in his heart.

"Yes, that's what I meant." "To get a chance, you have to have a way for them to immediately understand what makes you different and immediately show your value." And the same way you used to apply for a job didn't show what makes you unique. So, I think the way you apply for jobs needs to be improved. ”
