#6 The Interview (Pt : 2)

81 38 32
                                    

It's 12:30 pm in the afternoon and I'm standing in front of a multistorey building known as The Skylight which is owned by the CEO of the Wingman Company - Mr. Darwin Henley Ainsworth.

The building has an urban infrastructure.
All made, from metal and fancy glass from the ground to the very top.
The name 'WINGMAN ADVERTISING' is written in bold silver capitals on top of the huge revolving glass door.

The weather is quite moderate outside. A cool breeze flows by, making me shiver a little. I take a deep breath and enter the building.

The doors open to a huge lobby with white marble walls and hardwood flooring.
At the centre of the lobby, behind a dark solid desk, a gorgeous dusky woman in a pink formal shirt and neatly tied bun, smiles politely at me as I reach up to her.

"Hi ! I'm Katherine Louise. I have an interview scheduled for 1:00pm here."

"Excuse me for a moment Ms. Louise."
She checks her computer screen for a minute and then lays out a blue register in front of me, on her desk.

"Please sign here Ms. Louise. There's an elevator by the end of the lobby. Press for the 18th floor."

"Thank you."

I make my way to the elevator and step in. There are several people dressed impeccably in there. I feel a little intimidated between them.

The doors slide open into a narrow hallway followed by a massive lobby, which is all white marble and hardwood flooring again.

'Wingman Creative Department' is inscribed on the round reception table in Black Italic letters.
Behind the reception there are numerous cubicles at the centre for the employees and other small offices are located around the cubicles, probably for the superiors.

A young male receptionist dressed in blue pants and beige shirt guides me to a confrence room where several other candidates are seated around the rectangular table.

"Please take a seat everyone. Mr. Ainsworth will join you shortly."
The receptionist says and leaves.

WHAT ??
Mr. Ainsworth will join us !!
Does he even have time for this, considering the fact, that he's the CEO !!

Damn It !! Like I wasn't enough nervous already.

The conference room is as sleek and modern as the rest of the building.
The dark brown rectangular table in the centre enrapture the whole room. There are atleast 20 off-white leather chairs placed around the table adroitly.
A projector screen is positioned on the wall behind the door and the other 3 walls have colossal plasma TV screens fixed on them.
Everything here is exquisite.

All the interviewees seem as restless and as nervous as I am.
A girl dressed in grey pant-suit sitting right next to me is biting her nails in anxiety. 
A few of them are just murmuring by themselves, preparing answers, I suppose.
The others, seems to be occupied too.

I on the other hand, am reading an article in the magazine about a recent ad campaign of a fragrance line which was quite savvy and it got some serious appreciation.

Earlier today my interview at the Profero went well, but I'm not keeping my hopes high for Wingman, based on that.
That Interview was very generalized. It wasn't limited to just one aspect of advertising.
But here at the Wingman, it is going to be a lot more specific than that.
They have seperate departments here for everything.
There's a creative department, The IT department, The accounting team, the copywriters, digital team, graphic designers etc etc..
