The Adam Boy

CHAPTER 5 - THE INTERVIEW

I woke up early to print everything. There was still time to research where I did the cheapest work until I found it. Printed matter, organized portfolio, now I was getting ready to go to Mooca. What clothes would I go? It was an interview for a TV channel. I would find cool people there who deal with communication, creation and production. I was used to knowing that these people liked to maintain their own style and a certain different point. How had they been dressed to do their interviews? I thought about calling Karla, the girl who answered the phone and asking her how people dressed there. "no! No more crazy ideas to do", I thought to myself. I decided to go with something more social-sporting: I wore a light blue short-sleeved social shirt, jeans - when in doubt always wear jeans - and a social shoe. Under no circumstances did I leave my hair licked back or with a social hairstyle; I always chilled him regardless of the occasion. I had already read many things, and seen on TV programs, that, to go to a job interview, one should put on a more discreet perfume - when in doubt I just used a woody-smelling antiperspirant. There I went.

I arrived half an hour in advance - also a hint of what I read and saw on TV - but I knew it was in vain, because whenever we arrived at an interview we had to wait another twenty minutes until the interviewer was sure that they had arrived all. The buildings indicated at the address were omnipotent, a total of four and all of light blue glass. That one was one of the biggest communication companies in the country and they had Radio studios, the printing press that printed the local newspaper and TV, all from the same company. In the main building, the company logo was visible from a distance: a silver oval ball with the name "media" in Bauhaus font, with a pressed effect inside. The letters were all red and, under this oval symbol, was written, with the same font and effect, the word "communications".

I went through the lobby with the stressed and fed up porter who showed me where block B was. Even far away, I had already seen the place, because, in the same way that the company logo was seen, it was possible to see the TV symbol stamped on the front of the block: the same oval circle, with the name "media" in the same way as the other, but in blue. And in front of the circle, "TV" was also written in blue. That was one of the most important channels on cable TV. Its programming grid was almost entirely made up of cultural, musical and serial programs. It was divided into several production sectors and a special one for an intern, which was what I was going to try to get into. At the entrance to the building, people of all styles and hurriedly came and went. A girl passed by wearing a robe, with a stressed makeup artist at her side trying to brush the makeup with her face. Further on, two men passed by with a car full of mannequins and pieces of wood with letters and different colors. Everywhere you looked you saw the TV logo. Other people ran with big earphones in their ear, which was called a return; those without a doubt were the producers of the programs. In addition to wearing these eartips, they always carried a clipboard in their hand. That TV entrance was all decorated in glass. One of them was a large chart that indicated where each section was located: the journalism department, studios, Contra-Rules, dressing rooms, bathrooms, makeup, technical laboratory, producer 1, producer 2, tape archive, technical director, television drama production and other sectors. The floor was all black marble. On the right, there was a showcase with trophies and prizes that the broadcaster had won, and on the left, there were photos of the artists in full size. I walked forward and got to the elevators and pressed the button to call them. Undoubtedly that was the most patriotic TV in Brazil, because even the doors of the three elevators were stamped with the TV logo. It's amazing how long it took the elevator to arrive, given that the buildings were only four stories high plus the basement. When he came up from the basement and the doors opened for me, I went in and politely asked the driver to press the button that indicated floor three. I had an absurd desire to touch the dots in Braille on the side of number 3, and I realized that it was not just the dots on the Requested Stop on buses that I liked to keep my finger on. there was a showcase with trophies and prizes that the broadcaster had won, and on the left there were photos of the artists in full size.
