Twenty-one-eight
After I paid for the nursery teacher training, Xiao Zhang persuaded me to learn something else, and she told me that I could also learn complementary food and early education. This is because these are all courses related to childcare teachers. I told her that I don't have any money now, and when I get a job and earn money, I'll find time to study and improve myself. Xiao Zhang didn't persuade me anymore when he heard me say this.
She just told me that the more you learn, the higher your salary will be when you look for a job. So hopefully I'll be able to learn more in the future. I agreed.
On the day of training, I took my books and pens to the designated classroom. When I entered the classroom, I saw that there were a lot of people, at least in their twenties, and most of these people were my age, and some were younger, but there were not a few. It's not class time yet, and we are classmates. So they all started talking to each other.
As soon as I spoke, I realized that they were all unemployed at home due to the epidemic, and they really had nowhere to go, so they came here, and it was the admissions teacher who called them, and then hesitated, and finally came. It seems to be in a similar situation to me. There are also those who are several years older than me, some of them are like me and want to find a job, and some of them have daughters-in-law who want to take care of their sons after training.
Attending classes was not difficult for me. Because I have loved Chinese since I was a child, and I was very good at writing when I was young, and I also liked to read all kinds of books. I used to memorize a dictionary when I was studying, so there are few words I don't know.
As long as you know how to write and write, it is very easy to learn this. There are a few older ones who can't write, but they all keep learning, so I think there is nothing that people can't do as long as they want to do something sincerely.
It is a total of ten days of courses, the first five days are theoretical classes, and the last five days are practical operations. The teachers were very careful, and we were very serious in our studies, so when we finished all the course exams, we actually passed them. Among the more than 20 people, my test results were the best in both theory and practice. This is certainly the result of my efforts.
Every day, like children going to school, we go to class from 8 to 5 in the morning, and when I come back to the empty space, I will practice what I have learned until I am proficient.
Before we finished the course, they went to us to recruit aunts. Some of them went to interviews, but they all wanted to be despised by those few. Those young ones were asked out before they finished their studies. As soon as you finish your studies and check your body, you will go to work.
And none of us who are older have anyone to let us go for an interview. I'm really a little anxious. I thought to myself, don't learn and still can't find a job. But my worries are unfounded. As soon as I finished the exam and checked my health, the training institution found me a job and asked me to interview. Because it was during the pandemic, the interviews were all video.
One of the girls who was in charge of finding me a job said to me, "We belong to the service industry, so you have to smile when you do the video and make people feel your kindness." “
"Okay, I got it." I said yes. But I can't stop crying in my heart, where can I laugh in my current situation? I'm not a smirk. That's why it makes me hard.
When it was time to video with the client, the girl told me again: "Auntie, remember, don't be nervous, you must smile, and don't speak too loudly, so that people sound gentle and kind." Another thing is that you don't have any children. “
Because in order for us to find a job smoothly, the relevant teachers who gave us a job found a job told us to forge some resumes, not to mention that we had not brought them. In fact, we have all brought children at this age, but bringing our own children does not count, and we must say that we have brought children to others.
When it came time to actually video with the customer, I was still nervous. Because after all, I haven't been in contact with this industry, how can I not be nervous? And now I really want to find this job and get to work as soon as possible, so the more I care, the more nervous I become.
At the beginning, the customer asked me about raising children, and I answered them all, because I taught us everything during the training, and I remembered it again, so this is not difficult for me. But the customer suddenly asked me, "I see that before you did this business, you were making clothing, why did you change your career?" “
When I heard the client's question, I had long forgotten what the girl who had asked me for a job had told me. Without even thinking about it, I said, "Isn't this the impact of the pandemic?" We don't have any work left in the factory, so that's why I'm doing this. As soon as I finished speaking, I immediately realized that I had said the wrong thing. But the words have already been spoken, and I can't take it back if I want to. There is no choice but to resign yourself to fate.
After listening to what I said, the customer said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell the pony about something, you can just wait for the letter." "Pony is the girl who got me a job. Her surname is Ma, so she is called Pony.
"Okay." I promised, after we turned off the video on our phones, the more we thought about it, the more angry we became, why were we so stupid? The pony told me so much, but I still told the truth. What now? I have a hunch that this job is really hopeless.
As I expected, it didn't take long for the pony to come over, and she complained to me, "Auntie, your EQ is too low, right?" How can there be such a sincere person as you? How do you tell the truth? You still say that you changed careers due to the impact of the epidemic, doesn't this obviously tell people that you haven't done it? ”
"I didn't expect to tell the truth, did I? Maybe I'm too nervous, right? I explained.
"Forget it, it's not successful, it's not successful, anyway, there are a lot of people who want a parenting teacher, and it's not her family. Remember, though, you can't say the wrong thing next time. Be sure to think about it. The pony told me again, and told me not to rush, and she continued to look for me. She told me that I was better looking for a job than anyone else. Because I graduated from a secondary school and my image is better, it is not difficult to find a job.
She said so, but I myself had no faith at all. Especially when I think of those picky customers, I don't know if even if I find a job, I can't be sure if I can do it.
