it was july 16, 2008 and i was at city hall to do something thatwould change my life forever. i went to room 302 and got my workingcard. i thought i was independent and ready to get a job.
first i filled in applications. i put in over 100 applications at restau-rants, clothing stores, and hotels. i kept looking for a job, and i decidedto go to the mall. i was interested in getting a place in one restaurantbecause my good school friend worked there, and he told me they neededpeople. i thought it might turn out to be successful.
one day, when i came home and turned on the answering machine,there was a message on it. it was a job! a lady from a supermarket calledme for an interview on tuesday. i was very excited. this was my first interview. on sunday i got up early, my mom and i went shopping fora dress. i put on this dress on tuesday. the lady asked me a lot of questi-ons, but i thought over the answers the day before.
i didn’t get the job, but i found out that you can’t get a job easily.it’s very hard work.
