After waiting a few minutes, the man conducting the interview came out and escorted me towards the boardroom. I called in for a few jobs around the neighborhood including McDonald's, a footwear store, a pet store, other fast food places but I only got a call back from the diner I applied to. I never thought I'd see myself as a waitress but it's better than nothing.

"Glad you could make it today Miss Taylor, I'm sorry about being a little late myself. Traffic was hectic after my lunch break" he said in the process of taking a seat.

"Oh it's no trouble, what can you do right?" I smiled, crossing my legs.

"You seemed to get here pretty early though, making a great impression on your first interview"

"I really want this job sir and I always like to be on time" I lied, knowing damn well those 256 late slips from school didn't just appear from thin air.

"Is that so. Well tell me why you want to work for Fred's Diner"

"I think Fred's Diner will be the perfect fit for me. I love people and I like to make people happy. What's more happier than being fed delicious food and served with a smile" I answered. ...I nailed that shit😏

"I'm very intrigued by your answer, Miss Taylor. What hours could you work?"

"Well since I am still in school at the moment, I'd say anything after five o'clock"

"And are you able to get here? Do you have a stable source of transportation?"

"I do have an automobile sir, yes"

"Okay. Let's role play. I walk into Fred's and take a seat, waiting to be served. What do you do?"

"I walk up to you with a friendly smile and take your order"

"I want everything on the house in 10 minutes. I'm the owner, I say"

"Coming right up, Mr Neal"

"Nice and there's one more thing. What if I gave you the job as a cleaner?"

"I'll take it with gratitude, sir. I'm actually a neat freak myself at home. I hate clutter and dirty dishes in the sink"

"Which position would you prefer?"

"Anything available but if I were to choose. I would like to work as a waitress, I love people as I said previously"

"Well I think we'll be in touch, Miss Taylor. It was a pleasure to meet such a stable and pretty young lady" he stood to his feet and reached his hand over the desk.

"I appreciate your time talking with me, sir. Thank you" I shook his hand in the process of getting up myself.

I got that job handily and got a call back the next day. That weekend, I went in for my training/orientation and filled my position as a waitress. I even got paid for just going to training, in which I was able to give my mom and Kel a little something something for the time being.
