Marsha's Terrible Job
Interview

Marsha
had a job interview with the Sunshine Biscuit Company last Monday. Her
appointment with the interviewer was for 10:00 am. She had forgotten to set her
alarm clock, so she woke up at 9:30 am and got to the interview an hour late,
at 11:00 am.

Because
she woke up so late, she didn't have much time to get ready. She took a quick
shower and put on the first dress that she found in her closet. It was a very
short dress that showed a little too much, the kind of dress a woman wears when
she's trying to attract a boyfriend at a cocktail party. She also put on a lot
of very cheap perfume, the kind you can smell down the street.

She
left the house without eating breakfast and she ran to the bus stop.  The bus was late in coming, but she
didn't want to spend the money on a taxi.
When she finally got to the Sunshine Biscuit company,
she ran into the building and ran into the interviewing office. She ran up to
the secretary's desk and screamed, "I'm here! My bus was late!" The
secretary was a bit surprised, but asked her who she was and what time her
appointment was for. Marsha answered, "I'm Marsha and my interview is for
right now." Of course, it was already 11:00 am and her interview had been
scheduled for an hour earlier.

The
secretary called the interviewer, Mr. Green, on the intercom and he told her to
send Marsha in.

Marsha
was chewing gum as she entered the office. She took a seat without saying
anything to Mr. Green. Mr. Green was slightly surprised to see Marsha act so
boldly even though she was an hour late. He introduced himself and asked how
she was. She said that she was feeling lousy and that the public transportation
in the town was awful. He asked her what kind of position she was looking for,
and if she had a resume. She said that she had no resume because she didn't
have time to write one. She also had no idea of what kind of job she wanted;
she just wanted one that paid well.
He asked her if she had any questions for him, and she asked him if she
could have Wednesday afternoons off so that she could see her psychiatrist. She
also asked him if the company gave at least a two‑week
vacation.  He asked her what skills
she had and she answered that she could type, but that she couldn't take a
typing test because tests made her nervous.

Mr.
Green thanked Marsha for coming, and she asked, "Do I get a job or
not?" He said that he would call her if there was an opening, and she
said, "Well, hurry please, because I'm broke and I can't pay the
rent."
