I was awoken by the vibrant sound of my alarm and knew it was another day for job hunting. My table had liters of papers where I had looked for companies having job adverts; from printing to all kinds including 9 to 5s talk more of "work at home'' jobs. I rushed to the bathroom to get the morning routines ready as I by chance slipped and fell, I tried getting up as I knew time kept flying by the minutes. In ten minutes i was done and rushed out with my hangover laptop bag. I crossed over to the side of the road and started my journey for Maria's Gadgets. What I had learned to look for on job hunting was the bigger companies. I heard they paid high. Maria's Gadgets is a very large company where phone accessories, home appliances and the likes were being sold and so I thought to myself if only I could get a job here and my life would get better. I took a cab to the place and walked to the gate of the building where three gatekeepers stood. I stood agape of how magnificent a building like this could be. In front of me stood a high rise seven stories or which I should call a seventy to a hundred seventy-five feet, giving these glass-built expensive vibes. I rushed to get in but was obstructed by one of the gatekeepers.
"Please let me in, I really need to get in for my interview" I begged.
'Sir we were told not to let anyone in anymore, I'm sorry, the gatekeeper said.
'Please, what you mean? You telling me I ain't no part of the interview, how we gonna do that. C'mon you need to help me ' I said almost tearing up
'I'm sorry but it'll wait. We still take more on the morrow 'he said looking without an empathetical expression.
'C'mon man, you need to help me. We're both men; I mean...., you know what am saying man right,?' I told him.
All seemed to fall on deaf ears as I begged but nothing yielded forth. I took my turn as my next aim was for another job hunting. I walked for over 2hrs before I came across a company called NEVA Telecommunications. In it was where customer services, how to use a product, some e-mailing services, virtual assistants work and likes. I dusted my feet as I successfully mailed through the entrance and what met my eyes arose the savor of a real work in me, I could feel the readiness to involve in a 9 to 5, even if some would say in this case that there was pressure in this but I never cared. I was ready for it anyways.
I walked towards the receptionist as I smiled and gave introduction but was soon cut off by her.
" Good day ma'am I'm Luan Davi and I'm here to apply for a job" I said, hopefully.
" Please, take a seat Sir, you would be attended to shortly" she said, while still paying attention to whatever she was doing behind the desk.
"Ok ma'am," I said as I walked over to sit.
I had sat for thirty minutes and seen four people walk into the inner offices but my name wasn't called. I walked back to the receptionist and just in case, reminded her but was bashed in a ruder way.
" Sir please find a seat for yourself. I'm assuming you're not deaf" she said, getting irritated.
" Nahh not that , I just seen three guys and a lady walk in now and my name hasn't been called even the fact I came before the last two" I tried proving my point.
"Sir, you're been told to sit and I ask you comply or else you wanna get dragged out by the security. Have some patience and your turn will come " she replied harshly.
" You know what??? Just get out ....... Or perhaps you want the security on you" she said again.
" No no no no... Never meant that way. Ok am sorry. I wouldn't disturb you anymore." I begged but again, they fell on deaf ears and soon, because of my hesitancy, two securities were dragging me out and I stood at the entrance down and devastated. I looked at my time and here was 4pm on my side. Hopefully, I could try another before the day runs out.
