I Went For An Interview And It Was Horrible!!!

Hello everyone once again. I’m here to cry to you all.

Before I start, how are you all doing ? Hope you’re all doing fine cause I’m not.

So a few weeks ago, I applied for a job. Yes a whole lazy ass Geraldine went and applied for a job. 

I was fed up with asking my parents for money for almost the littlest things and I decided to take charge of my finances.

When I first told my mum she started laughing as usual cause she seems to think I’m a very unserious person, which she is right sometimes but that’s not the point here.

After our conversation of me getting a job and her laughing, I decided to show her pepper. I was indeed serious about getting the job now.

I started asking around about the place I intended on getting a job, I choose a fast food cause I’m good at culinary stuff.

I asked about the pay, and it was ok I guess. So early in the morning a few days later, I went to the cybercafe to get my cv done.

About an hour later, I looked at my cv with pride. “Finally !”, I said to myself. I strolled out of the cybercafe smiling to myself and for a job well done, I awarded myself with a Shawama. What?, my taste buds wanted it 🤷🏽‍♀️.

So, a few days later after prepping like crazy, I finally went in for the job. 

So, I walked into the building with so much confidence. I asked the door man where I could find the manager and he directed me to her.

She was at the counter. I approached her, “Good morning ma. I came to apply for a job”. She took a glance at me and she has this bored expression on her face. My confidence dropped.

“Did you bring your cv”, she asked. “Yes I did”, and I handed it to her. She didn’t even open it or invite me in for an interview she just handed it to some other worker!

No “I’ll get back to you” nothing! She just said “ ok” and left me standing there. I was literally so confused. So what next. The customers beside me were just looking at me like “😬”.

It was beyond horrible!!! Like my confidence was left in shambles and I just walked out of the building.

I read books on how to ace an interview and watched YouTube videos and read articles and I wasn’t even given the opportunity to showcase my knowledge!!!

I knew deep inside I wouldn’t get the job, but my friend being as optimistic as ever was like they’ll get back to me but it’s been weeks. No email, text or call. Wow!

I’m actually quite sad you know. I wasn’t myself for like a week. I told my cousin about it and she was just she laughing. I thought to myself, “ why is she laughing? It’s not a joking matter”.

“See this one oo, you haven’t seen anything yet. Do you know how many times I’ve gotten rejected for a job?”, she said still laughing. “You’ve not seen anything yet. Welcome to the real world”. 

I just looked at her. Wasn’t she meant to tell me all the “aspire to perspire” thing. “Ahh this one that you’re looking at me like this what do you want me to say?. Truth is you can’t keep moaning about just one job rejection. If you really need a job, send out more applications. You might be lucky and find something”,she said.

“So if you shoot your shot now and you chop big L, will you kill your self? No. Just jazz up and move on. Don’t worry you’ll be fine”, she said patting me on my shoulder.

I didn’t know if I should throw her away or what. She didn’t exactly make me feel better. But she did make a good point tho.

So the pepper I wanted to show my mum now nkor? She’ll just laugh more. I haven’t told her about the interview tho but I’m sure she’ll read this.

Well I can’t keep moping forever. I’ll send out more applications and see how it goes. I’ll keep you guys posted.
