Chapter 4 - Interview and work

After an unknown amount of time, it was Bai Yun's turn to interview. Bai Yun tried to relax and walked into the office graciously. When he saw the woman sitting at the end of the office, she was around 30 years old, probably the head of HR or a manager or something, Bai Yun smiled at her as naturally as possible.

She looked at Bai Yun and said, "Please sit down."

"Thank you." Bai Yun sat down gently.

"I'm MIMI, the head of HR, please introduce yourself briefly in English." MIMI said as he looked at Bai Yun's calendar.

Bai Yun was stunned, an English introduction, I hadn't thought of that. Fortunately, he hadn't been lazy in his English classes at school, and he also liked to listen to English songs and watch movies in the original language, so he had heard a lot of them. Bai Yun gathered his thoughts and said in English, "My name is Bai Yun and I would like to apply for a job as a receptionist. I studied painting at school, but my friends say I have a friendly smile and would be suitable for a receptionist job, and I personally would like to work in a hotel because of its strict management style and rules. I think the front desk reception room is the face of the hotel, if I am hired, I will always pay attention to my image, with a friendly smile, sincere attitude to receive every guest patiently ..." Bai Yun does not know how he said the above words so solemnly like a recitation, after saying that Bai Yun looked at MIMI, mentally The first thing I did was to look at MIMI, but I was not sure how I was going to pronounce it, even though I knew there was no big pause in my "speech".

MIMI said, "Your English is quite fluent, but you need to pay more attention to your pronunciation. Can you tell us about your future career plans?"

"I'm not going to give up my painting career. I came to work in a hotel to make a living, but as the saying goes, if you do something, you love it. If I am hired by the hotel, I will study hard and try my best to improve myself and do my best to help every guest in need, so that every guest will feel at home. ..." Bai Yun started to say again in a serious manner.

MIMI said, "You are quite honest, but your advantage is that you are fluent in English, which is what the hotel needs.

Bai Yun was taken to the manager's office and after a brief conversation, the manager told Bai Yun to go home and wait for the job offer.

Bai Yun walked out of the job application office and breathed a sigh of relief. There were more and more people applying for jobs, and with so few jobs and so many people competing for them, Bai Yun said to himself: "Ahem, in this society nowadays, it is hard to find a job, it is hard to earn money, and it is not easy to do anything. Today's interview really took me some effort. If I am really accepted, I must do my best.

On the third day after the interview, I received a job offer from Baiyun. She started her three-month probationary period at the hotel and worked hard, learning from the older staff and improving herself. With the help of the older staff, Bai Yun quickly got into the swing of things and was converted to a permanent employee just after her three-month probationary period.

Bai Yun was happy that her efforts were finally recognised, so she worked even harder and helped the customers with all her heart, and received sincere thanks from them. At the same time, Bai Yun also felt happy helping others. When he was on duty, Bai Yun worked hard and when he was off duty, he painted. She never forgot her dream of going to Provence, where famous painters such as Van Gogh, Cézanne, Monet, Picasso and Chagall had begun a new phase of their artistic lives, to experience the rich artistic atmosphere. It is also the home of lavender.
