Morning coffee at Macdonalds

New bunch of recruits being interviewed. 4 of them
All fresh out of school, looking uncertain, filling out a 4 page questionnaire
Good luck to them in their first foray into this world

How was your first job interview?
Mine was so easy, all those years ago, 48 in total.
Living in a mining town, the mine put on 30 apprentices every year.
Turn up, register, be accepted. Done

So wrong when we do not get the chance to decide for ourselves.
My father signed me on for the apprenticeship. I never had a say in the matter.
Though I was without ant sort of knowledge as to how the world worked and my place in it.

As I think back that far I believe I went in the little Bairs grocery and
just asked the old owner if he had any work for me....he did and that
begun my work life...I may have been 13 .....

My first job interview was at a phone company. I was so awkward and had no confidence whatsoever. The man who interviewed me hired me. He was the kindest person, not only to me, but to all his employees. Everyone loved him.

My first real job was through an employment agency after graduating with a two year diploma from a local business school.

It seemed like a big deal to me at the time but the truth is that all they were looking for was a warm body for $7,500.00/year.

It got me in the door and my foot on the ladder, the rest as they say is history.
