Chapter 1386: Job interview II
"If you were hired... give me three names of applicants from today’s interview whom you’d choose to join the CEO’s department. And explain why you think they’re qualified."
For a full minute, there was complete silence. Neither the applicants nor the panelists spoke, though for different reasons—one group was caught off guard, while the other had been expecting this exact reaction. And it was obvious who was who.
This question was the very reason why most applicants left this room looking so defeated. It was a crucial test, designed to narrow down the candidates best suited for the job. After all, the CEO’s department wasn’t just lacking a secretary—it was completely vacant.
That explained the heavy workload on Penny, Wild, and Yugi. The three of them had managed to handle the tasks so far, but forming a dedicated team for the CEO’s affairs would ease the burden, especially now that Wild and Yugi had responsibilities in their own departments.
"Please begin," the head of Human Resources said, nodding at the first applicant at the far end of the line.
The applicant opened and closed his mouth, struggling to collect his thoughts and maintain his composure. He had prepared for all kinds of questions, even personal ones—but not this.
’Who would I pick?’he panicked internally. ’I was so focused on doing well in my own interview that I didn’t bother talking to anyone else.’
When he realized he couldn’t keep them waiting any longer, he lowered his head.
"I apologize," he said. "I didn’t think it was necessary to talk to the other applicants. I was too focused on preparing for my own interview."
He clasped his hands together on his lap, hoping this answer wouldn’t completely ruin his chances.
