A funny job application In the last summer, my friend and I have decided to search for a work to save some money, so we decided to apply for call centers. We’ve made that choice because call centers are the best places to work in when you have no previous experience, but on top of that because most of them don’t require any engagement and let you the freedom to leave your post whenever you want. We started by doing a research on the internet to find the nearest call centers to our location. In less than 15 minutes, we’ve found one! Not only it’s just a few kilometers away from our places, but it’s also one of the leading companies in the field. We scheduled a Monday to do our application and we started collecting the required documents: CV, letter of motivation, etc. The day has come for us to finish that task, but we’ve had a little problem. We didn’t know the exact location of the center, so we asked a taxi driver. The driver himself didn’t know the way so we had to search for someone to show us the way. I asked a passerby: Me: Excuse me sir, could you tell us how to get to Next Call Center? The man: You’re kidding! Next Call Center is in the other part of the city! At this moment, I was really turned around! But I went on: Me: I’m sorry sir, but the address indicated in their website says it’s not far away from here. The man: Hmm they must have changed their office. Anyway, listen carefully to me, I’ll show you the way. Me: Yes, thanks. The man: Now you’re heading east, you’re actually in the opposite direction. You should turn around. Then go straight down this street for four blocks until you hit “Rue Elisabeth”. There, you will find a bus station. Take the bus number 14, and ask the driver to let you know when you reach “La ville haute”. The bus will drop you off in the intersection of “Rue 5” and “Rue 4” streets. Make a left and go down the “Rue 4” street. Walk for about 10 minutes and you’ll see the Next Call Center office on your right hand side. Me: I think I’ve got it. I’m a bit confused by the amount of indications and directions you gave us, but we’ll be fine. The man: I hope you won’t get lost on your way there! Have a nice day. Me: Thank you very much sir. With the help of the stranger and my GPS phone application, we’ve finally found the location. We applied for the jobs and they told us they will get in touch with us. What a relief! The funny part came when they turned down our application!
