I would feel much better if I was better qualified for this job and I knew much about the company I mean it was recently opened so there wasn't much to find except that everyone wanted to be part of it apparently, it was owned by some tycoon of sort. Monde had left for Durban which meant I would be alone for the whole week I really didn't mean it when I said he was suffocating me a week without him would be hell.
*Good luck with your interview, I believe in you.*
Their offices were situated on the top floor so I had to use the lift there was no way I was going to use the stairs I still wanted to lead a very long life. I was welcomed by a very kind receptionist she told me that the manager was waiting for me.
Am I late?" she smiled
"No dear you are right on time"
I follow her to the manager's office, the nerves were getting better of me there is nothing scarier like an interview, my palms were sweating. She then turned to me "Good luck" and walked away.
I knocked once and I was told to come in, I was surprised to find him alone to interviews I've been on I have never been interviewed by one person it's usually two or more people. Now this was really disturbing.
"Come on have a seat" I smiled and sat down.
"I'm Mr Johnson's" oh Nigerian
"I am Minenhle Zuma" he nodded and started paging on some file.
"So you have the job already, I noticed here you don't have any experience so we will give you training first" oh wow
"I got the job really?" I had the impression that I was coming for an interview"
"No, the job is yours already I just need you here to sign some documents for me and your training will start tomorrow"
Okay, thank you so much" I was stunned really.
"You know what they say you should strike while the iron is still hot"
"Yeah very true"
He gave me some documents to sign which included a contract so he gave me space while I went through it honestly, I wanted to be professional I desperately need a job so I was going to sign it anyway.
Monde couldn't believe it when I told him I got the job just like he was on some "this guy will want something in return, he can't give you a job just like that" well I wasn't surprised because he was against the idea of Sandile finding me a job in the first place because he thought I was his ex. Imagine. I was looking forward to work with the
Johnson's company and the unique environment was all exciting for me. Their salary was good compared to what I used to live on.
It's days like these where I wished I had a parent to share good news with, no matter how good my aunt can be she will never fill the void my mother left its always going to be there. I don't even remember what she looked like I wondered what my life would have turned out to be if I had a mother who fussed over me, who took care of me and fought me surely my life would turned out to be different altogether I would be a different person.
