Interview Day
•••

This is finally the day, i need to calm down.

"Hi, I am Akiro Calvin Gabrielle, 22 years old, thank you for giving me a chance in this interview" I said as i practiced in fron of the mirror.

Maybe this introduction is too bland.

"Hi! I'm Akiro Calvin Gabrielle, 22 years old, it's my pleasure to have this interview with you" I said and i shaked my head.

No Aki, i'm not a celebrity who will be interviewed in a television show.

"Hi po goodafternoon, I'm Akiro Gabrielle 22 years old, its nice to be here po" I said and sighed.

Bahala na, i just need to have some confidence later.

After a while i left the hotel room that i was staying in and went out to get to my interview today. The company is located in Makati and i arrived here just yesterday to attend the job interview, i really need a job right now or else my family will kill me.

"Goodmorning anong kailangan nyo sir?" The guard said when i arrived at the companies building.

"Ah interview po" I said and the guard let me in.

I went to the front desk and asked where should i go and told me to go to the third floor then in the Manager room 6 so i immidietly rided the elevator to get there.

I knocked when i arrived in the room and i opened it to see if someone is there. I saw a middle aged woman who looks like she's pregnant sitting in the office table. When she saw me she signalled me to sit and i sat down on one of the chairs.

"G-goodmorning po, I'm A-" I got cut off when she talked.

"Akiro Calvin Gabrielle, 22 years old from Bulacan. Cut off the introduction i already know that" She said that made me more nervous.

Oh my god she's more strict than i thought an interviewer would be, maybe because she is pregnant?

"Sorry to be fair, you're not fit for these job" She stated that made my whole world crumble.

So why did they call me here? Pinapaasa lang ata ako huhu.

"But because of you're answers we gave you a chance" She continued that made me gain some hope.

"So are you really sincere about hiding a secret even till the end of your life?" She asked.

"Yes po, it's a secret entrusted to me after all po. Especially if its someone i know po, i won't try to break their trust on me" I answered confidently.

Then i heard some faint clapping. Maybe thats just my imagination, am i getting over confident that i hear myself clapping.

"Okay fine since you're actually picked by the one you'll be working with i'll accept you" She said that made me smile wide.

"So here is the document of your contract please read carefully the terms and condition, nandyan na den kung magkano ma swesweldo mo per month or per hour" She said and handed me the documents.

"Sign below if you're done reading" She said and went back to her paperworks.

I read all the things that is written in the document. One thing that interest me is to keep the identity of the selected person a secret no matter what.

And holy fucking shet, totoo ba to. Almost 35 thousand a month? It's almost as good as working as a teacher.

"Oo nga pala it's actually not included there but if you do well you will always be applicable to a raise based on your monthly evaluation and one more thing you'll have a place to stay here in makati but you'll have a roommate, and that will be the person who you will be assigned to" She explained that shocked me.

Wow, am i dreaming, this is a really good job.

"Uhm ano nga po pala yung position ko?" I asked.

"Oh i forgot to tell you, you will be my assistant manager. You're roommate will be Akigaki Rio, make sure to treat him nicely" She answered and i nodded as i hand her the signed documents.

"So please start as soon as possible, you can leave and go to your home to get somethings you need, and come back here. Hmm, tommorow or the next day" She said and i nodded in response.

"Thank you for accepting me po!" I said.

"Don't thank me, you'll still undergo training with your roommate, he's the one that chose you not me" She said.

"Still thank you pa den po!" I said before i left.

I can't believe it i got accepted on a job! It's even a good paying job and i'll have a place to stay already. I can't wait to start my job already.

I immidietly rided a taxi to a bus station to go home and get my things.

I hope this goodluck will continue till i try the licensure exams again.
