Let
us dive in immediately. No more twisted introduction. This is the second of the
three strangers whom I had a conversation in one day.
The
man asked me as soon as I exit the call center building. He was smiling. I
understand his question and action is a part of his job description. After all
I met a few of his kind. They call themselves as recruiter. They would stand
for hours and discreetly screen passerby if they are looking for job.
“Are
there other people left in the recruitment area?” he asked
“Yes
there are still people in there. I am the first person who submitted my
application.” I answered
“How
was it?” the recruiter asked
“It
was not good. The person in – charge told me that they have to pass my
application to another department since I was not applying as a call center
agent.” I replied
We
were slowly walking as we speak. I figure that he was avoiding something. Then
he said the most important line that he probably told many people.
“Why
won’t you try applying with us? Our interviewer is in this fast food chain.”
Bless
him, that guy; he still smiled even though he knew what my response would be. I
said no obviously. I reasoned that I can’t handle the lifestyle of a call
center agent.
“I’ve
tried, you know. But I did not get the job.” I confessed
“Well,
maybe this time it would be different.” he said
We
went on talking. He talked how he landed the job. He eventually told me that
security guards of the building are keeping an eye on him because he is the
territory of their competitor. He said that it is common among call center
agent recruiter. He assured me that as we speak some guys from the company that
I’ve applied are also in their building trying to get new recruits.
He
was explaining about the benefits on working in the company that he represents
when I received a call. I excuse myself to answer the phone call then
afterwards I get back to him to tell him that I’d be heading to my other
appointment.
Blabbering
or not, he made me forget that I was having a bad day. May that guy achieve his
dreams whatever they are.
