Job Interview

Going For A Job Interview The moment of truth comes, when one comes face to face with a prospective boss… Having secured an appointed date for interview, it is time to meet the boss… This learned young man is well prepared in his spirits, mind and body… For this day is the much anticipated date to define his immediate destiny… Freshly minted and on the lookout for a dream job offer in his field of studies… His hopes are high, with a gamut of feelings of trepidation, anticipation and anxiety … Getting a job is a typical priority for many a graduate after years of books and studies.. But the process of looking around for a dream job and landing it is far from easy… For a wholesome week, this day has been crowding into his daily thoughts and routine…. Over and over again he has mentally run through his expected replies to incoming queries.. Will this window of opportunity be in the right one for a youthful graduate such as he… Will his mannerism, answers and personality be up to the expectations of the boss to be… He is well dressed for the occasion, most appropriate for the formality of the occasion… Textbooked details are well in place, looking sharp with not a hair or attire was out of place… His newly bought tie is snuggly attached to his high collar, well he looks like an executive-to-be… Looking smart and most presentable, document folder in his hand, he’s well and ready…. Grabbing the car keys , he gave a perfunctory goodbye wave as he strode to the family car … With fingers crossed, the father wished him the best of luck and whispered a silent prayer …. There you go, son, you have to make your own way, may God bless you at the interview… Have faith in yourself, you are well prepared and you are at your best as you can possibly be… Waving goodbye and with a big smile of encouragement, he watched junior drive away… Stiffling the rising inner glow of pride that that young man is now big enough to seek his way… The next few hours will be crucial, will the outcome of his job interview be successful…. Will the call yet to come be one of jubilation or will it be one of deflated enthusiasm…?
