working
part-time jobs
daniel is hiring some employees to work
a part-time
job mike is one of the applicants
hello mike take a seat
thank you sir can i see your resume
please
i have received the online version of
your cv
but i just wanted to be sure
here you go sir everything you require
is in that
document case you got
quite an interesting history for a
student of your age mike
there seems like nothing is out of the
ordinary
just relax kid this is just for a
part-time job
usually these so-called interviews
aren’t as strict as the more long-termed
ones
but nevertheless i want you to know if
you are right for the job
so tell me mike what brings you here
well sir i wanted to apply for a
part-time job to get used to the
roughness of society
so through hours of applying i’m here
and do you expect to be paid handsomely
no i don’t sir the experience of working
is enough to keep me going
i’m sorry if this is offensive but no
undergraduates apply for a part-time job
without having money as a goal in their
mind
i understand sir and i am sorry
please just call me dan or mr dan and no
need to be sorry
so how has your university life been
mike
it has been great actually i’m a
freshman
of international business major
i’ve managed to become an official
member of one of my school’s clubs
being socially open aren’t ya
it’s nice to see one fit in easily with
his surroundings
so i assume that you are communicating
skill is at a
decent level i wouldn’t really consider
my talking skills anywhere near charming
but still natural nevertheless
cool that’s all i expected mike
now how about your other skills
such as multitasking or concentration
i’m not very good at multitasking but i
can put my mind into a single thing for
a long period of time
that is very beneficial in the future
for you
what about your time management ability
i know that freshman year at university
can be overwhelming
but can you be self-organized enough to
make sure the deadline is met
i can prioritize particular tasks based
on their importance
so i’m confident as i can mr dan
your attitude is straightforward and
honest isn’t it mike
but anyway before we end this short
interview i would like to advise you
something
leave out some time for you to rest and
balance between studying
socializing and working okay
thank you for the advice mr dan
i appreciate the advice
well then here is your resume have a
good day sir
goodbye mike remember to close the door
behind you

dave is working a part-time job
at a grocery store jordan accidentally
met him
and sticks around to talk
i will have these oh
hey jordan long time no see
dave oh wow i didn’t expect to see an
old homie around yeah
it has been ages since we last met
from high school isn’t it
since we graduated oh
wait let me check these out for you
first
it’s 1465. here are your groceries
mind if i stick around for a bit
no problem bro it’s not every day that i
bump into an old mate
and i’m not very busy at this time of
day
so how long have you been working here
for about a month and a half or so
it’s pretty uneventful working here so
this job is fine
but this is only a part-time job though
i haven’t graduated yet
well it’s only two years since we left
high school
i only started university a year ago for
multiple reasons
really which university do you attend
it would sound a bit odd but have you
heard about the university of people
it’s kind of familiar but i can’t really
pinpoint what it is
i swear i have heard about it somewhere
it’s a free university where people
around the world
can attend for free as long as they have
an internet connection
and a full commitment
oh i remember that university is very
well known for its good deeds and
dedication
yes i’m really glad and excited
when i got recommended by a relative
my life has really turned up from there
because i’m flexible in my study i still
have time to work some part-time jobs to
feed myself and help out my parents
this is only my nighttime job
my daytime job offers wage but it’s
equally more stressful
what do you do here anyway i never get
an insight about this sort of work
well as the cashier my main job is to
scan these groceries and collect the
money
but behind the counter there are a lot
of other minor things to do
such as when the manager isn’t here i’m
tasked with recording and writing down
any cargo delivery and report it to him
keep these shelves stocked and deal with
any product shortages
apart from the regular works i have to
deal with every emergency around
sometimes that fridge over there breaks
down or the front door is
jammed etc
usually there would be a guy working the
same shifts as me
but today he is coming late he told me
that he would arrive an hour late which
means
he will be here in 10 minutes
so i’m the only one keeping you company
yeah pretty much i appreciate this
it could get extremely boring around
here
anytime man anytime
how much do you guys earn from working
here
typically eight dollars an hour every
day
there are no extras in rush hours or
holidays
this place would close during holidays
or maintenance days
but there are great pulses at this place
i get to be paid every weekend so i can
keep up with
any surprise bills that’s great for you
man
i hardly know anywhere else with such
good policies
but anyway it’s a dead-end job
nevertheless
what about the other jobs you have well
i also work around the logistics center
next to the supermarket
i’m only the apprentice at the place
following the manager where he does his
daily routine
i’ve learned a lot of things there
already the boss there took great care
of me
things seemed to be looking up for ya
huh
would there be any chance it would lead
to a full-time job
most likely yes i saw a lot of potential
for growth at the place
on the online university i talked about
there is a logistics course really
suited for my needs
in only one year i’ve got most of the
basic knowledge of how to run a
logistics
business and manage
working at this place also gives me
hands-on experience and logistics
that’s why i stayed at this place
working at a seemingly minimum wage
wow you got such an admirable spirit for
studying and working
i’m really impressed with how everything
has turned up for you
opportunities come from education
i’m happy for you man seeing an old dude
thriving
thanks man you’re a nice guy
well it’s about time for me to go
keep up the good work okay my dude
i will man i will goodbye dude
