They couldn’t have chosen a better time to call her for the interview. After three years of being out of work Janet could have taken anything offered to her in form of employment. So desperate was she that she couldn’t sleep all night before the day of the interview.
It had seemed unreal when the company she had been working for had announced a reduction of its staff. This, they had said was as a result of a fall in their sales. She had not grasped the full impact that would have on her and her four children who she was bringing up single-handedly after their father died in a road accident.
She had not even had time to recover from that blow and then the news of loosing her job had come calling. That was the day she knew that for sure misfortunes never do come single handed.
So for the next three years she had struggled, as she could, to put even one meal on the table. It was hard especially because she had lost most of her friends as soon as they knew her fate. She had struggled on, encouraged by her faith in the Lord and her knowledge that one day it would be all better.
On the day of the interview, she got up early and donned her favorite suit. It was one she had bought a long while ago. Even with all the sprucing up she had given it, it still looked out of fashion. But it would just have to do for that day.
As she walked to the bus stop to catch an early morning bus into town after a tearful goodbye from the children, Janet only hoped that this time around, just if she got the job, she could manage to set up a secure future for the kids and that the suffering they had all gone through would remind them to save up for a rainy day.
