Elementary ‐Global View ‐ Job Hunting (C0195)
A: Woo hoo! This just might be the start of the rest of my
life!
B: What happened?
A: I’m in the market for a job! I went on a website with
hundreds of job listings in the area and browsed through
them until I got the names of a few employers I would like
to work for. I have the resume I wrote for English class last
month and a cover letter will be a piece of cake to write.
I’ve even done my research and found the names of the
managers so I can address the letters personally. And you
know I can be charming in interviews. Goodbye my
penniless days! Hello salary and a career!
B: Ben, we’re fifteen. What kind of job are you looking
for?
A: Oh, just for a position as a gas station attendant. You
know, starting at a simple lowly job, just like all the greats
before they made it big in the world.
B: Uh-huh.
A: But I’m just in it for the money, right? How else am I
going to be able to afford to keep taking Angela to the
movies? Besides, I love the smell of gasoline, don’t you?
