Interview Time
The Homeless
My family needs me to get this job. For the first time in my life I can show them that I am somebody! I can prove that Sunday School stuff to be true, that God don’t make junk. Will I find out in enough time?

The Graduate
Finally! Classes are over and the piece of paper is in hand! Time for my final test … time to ace this interview. Big bucks here I come! … What do they mean I ‘lack enough experience?
(37 words)
The Teenager
Yes! I won’t be a-needing money from the old man anymore. I’m going out to get my first job. “Will you hire me?” No way. Did he just say I could scrub the floors? “Yes sir! I’ll work hard for you.” I can’t face Dad without a job.

The Mother
I can’t believe I’ll have to leave my precious babies with a sitter. Yet we need this money and I am more ‘marketable’ than my husband. I sure hope this job has good benefits. “May I please have an application for your Business Analyst position?”

The Interviewer
What a day! Can you believe the variety of people I had to talk to today? Everyone thinks I’m a miracle worker. They think I can pull jobs out of a hat for them. I’m done. I think I’ll go fill out an application for a different career!

The last one was a creative twist to the themes of the others. Liked the internal dialogue in many of them in contrast to what was really going on - especially the kid taking the job he really didn't want to make his dad proud.
Love how the last one tied everything together! Great job. Blessings, Teri
How neat. I love how these are all tied together, and I could see each person in them.
lol This is priceless. I love the variety of perspectives.

These are all great. Loved the ending.
I was most touched by The Mother. The last one made me smile.

Good job (no pun intended!), especially remembering the interviewer is part of the process as well.
These are great. I really liked The Graduate a lot. The ending made me chuckle. Well done.

Ooooh, loved the last one! What a great twist! This was a super approach to this task; you could probably have written dozens of these. However did you choose?
Ha! I'm pretty certain, even with my limited interview experience, I've said something similar to each of these. Well done.
Very nice. You packed a lot into a few words. I liked the one about the boy scrubbing floors so he could face his father. Good job.

These define the word "Snapshots" - just wonderful, I also ADORE the last one.
Sharon, I enjoyed these stories. They are so true-to-life! A couple of them (including the last one) made me laugh.
The last one is the clincher! So poingnat and so full of life. Wow!
