Finding a job in your field after university is very difficult. They always ask for work experience, which you don’t have. Where is it supposed to come from if no one hires you? Olga graduated from the Institute of Management and Economics with almost all A's, only three B's spoiled the picture. But employers paid no attention to these successes. Unable to find a job in her field, Olga decided to at least get a position as a secretary, hoping for career growth down the line. But even here, she faced disappointment. Almost all positions were filled.
Olga was sitting in a café, scrolling through job listings on "Avito." Her eyes caught an interesting ad for a secretary position at an organization called "Spectrum." She had to search for information about the organization online, as she had never heard of it.
"Spectrum" is a large organization with three hundred employees across the country. It was a coveted position, and she needed to hurry. Olga jumped up and ran to the office without even changing her clothes. She ran in what she was wearing.
A white, almost transparent t-shirt and a light skirt that flew up with even the slightest breeze were hardly suitable for a secretary's outfit. In the reception area, a girl sat at a desk, looking at Olga with a scrutinizing gaze and told her to wait. She had to wait for about an hour for the interview.
– Are you here for the interview? – a stately middle-aged man came out of the office.
– Yes, – Olga replied shyly.
– Why are you sitting? Come in. We don’t have much time. Let’s get to the point, – the man said as Olga entered the office and sat down at the desk. – My name is Dmitry Ivanovich. I am the director of the firm, and I conduct all appointments myself. Do you have a resume?
– Yes, of course. But it’s only in electronic form. Where can I print it?
– Why print it? Here’s the address, – Dmitry Ivanovich handed her a card. – I’ll print it myself and read it.
– Why do you need a secretary? I thought you already had one, – Olga was surprised.
– This girl is getting a promotion, – Dmitry waved his hand dismissively. – And I can't do without her. We have a lot of people working here. There are thirty people in just one office. And across the country, it's hard to count.
