He thought as he walked away heading towards the avenue to take a public transport, to reach an already defined address in the northern part of the island where there was a company that could employ him, but he did not achieve his goal because when he arrived at the reception the guard did not even let him pass, for lack of some documents that he did not bring, which were precisely the courses and certifications that he did not have, resigned he waited a few moments to see what happened with the intention of letting the Let things happen, as he used to do when his luck was no longer in his hands, looking around he looked at a rough-looking man already in his 40s like him, who seemed of the trade and approached to ask him.
- How about the atmosphere in this company, pal?
Well, that's fine, but there are better ones; What is your category?
-Tool pusher, driller or derrick man. Martín replies.
-The driller's earn very well and right now they are urgently requesting for new projects, You should apply to be interviewed.
-I already tried, but they didn't let me pass, because I don't have my updated credentials.
-·$%%/&(())·$%&. –says the annoyed guy. -If according to people I do not know why they get so demanding, those courses are very expensive and they should give them to us, although then they deducted them from the fortnight, look I took them out in this institute and you could start by asking for those of your category, because without them they will not interview you.
Martín took the brochure that the guy gave him and greeted him gratefully asked.
- Do you know of any other company that is applying to go try luck?
-Yes, of course, go to Latina, also there they are hiring and pay better than this, nothing more than I do not know if they ask for the credentials of the updated courses.
- The Latin American hydrocarbons company, and how do I get there? The google maps marks me to right here in Playa Norte.
And between indications and references Martín said goodbye to the guy and left with another defined course.
-No, I already have it! What I have left is to go for a yes or a maybe, and as I do not already have it, because I am already going for less and the possibilities increase.
It took more than 6 hours that day to locate the address until finally after moving by collective transport and walking through dusty streets in full sun, following the errant references that the people he asked gave him, on the marquee of a luxury hotel looked at the logo of the Latin American Hydrocarbons Company, and breathed a sigh of relief, the hotel receptionist gave him a couple of emails where he could send his resume, because there were no longer human resources personnel in the offices of the company, And satisfied as one who had taken advantage of his day, he got into the first urban bus that would take him to the downtown of the city and listened to the message tone of his WhatsApp mesenguer, immediately took it from its backpack expecting it to be a message from Lolis, but no, an unregistered number appeared with a message that said.
Hello!
Where is my new and great friend?
Mentally he was surprised for a few seconds, but he realized that the owner of that phone number with local numbering, could not be other than Natalia Cantarell, the lady of the boardwalk he had met a couple of days before.
To which he had not yet registered his name.
I'm going in the urban bus heading downtown, friend Natalia.
He wrote to her, but immediately took away his friend Natalia, a second before sending it preventing the number from not being who she believed.
Then I look at you there in a few minutes on the boardwalk.
That I go there too.
And he assigned the contact name of Cantarell closing his WhatsApp hoping not to make mistakes.
