However, often the dream is beautiful and plump, reality is cruel and bony. When Tang Tianbao came to the talent market, he found out what it meant by waiting for work, and what it meant by a sea of people.
Chaozhou's talent market was at the next stop of the train station. It was a four-story building with six tall stone pillars. The door was very big, but the door was always closed. There were three small doors on both sides of the door, and all university students who applied for jobs were going through these small doors. This also seems to imply that walking through the door of success is a very difficult task.
Tang Tianbao was swept into the talent market. The place was in a state of chaos and clamor. This was Tang Tianbao's first time coming to a place like this. It was like a small market, and every employer had their own fixed place that was similar to a temporary counter. The job seeker held his resume in his hand and waited in line to hand it to the employers. Then he waited to answer a few questions from the HR department of each recruitment unit before going through a simple exam. This is only the first step. Whether or not the company wants you, they will not make a decision on the spot. They will tell you to go back and wait for the call. Only after two interviews can you enter the company. At this time, there are still three months of probation period for job seekers. Putting aside the fact that the salary during the probation period was relatively low, if he could not meet the company's requirements or complete the company's mission, he would be directly expelled.
Tang threw a well-crafted resume from his graduation at an advertising agency called Kozheng. The chubby guy who claimed to be the head of the company's HR department looked at Tang Tianbao's resume and asked: ”You worked in Eilan Fashion?”
”Yes, a fashion designer.” Tang Tianbao said with a beaming smile, his heart brimming with hope.
”When did you graduate?” the fat guy asked.
”I just graduated this year.” Tang Tianbao replied.
The conversation seemed to go smoothly when it suddenly stopped. The fat manager walked to the queue behind Tang Tianbao and said: ”Next.”
Tang Tianbao walked around the crowd. He saw another advertising company, so he lined up at the back of the line. Finally, it was his turn. In the end, he was told that it was time to eat, and that he would start the interview at 2pm.
He had been queuing here for more than an hour. Then, he looked to the personnel wearing thick makeup and said, ”Hello, could I trouble you to interview one more person? I've already been waiting here for over an hour, and I only specially came to apply for our company because I saw how strong our company was.”
”Come back in the afternoon. Let us take a breather as well. We've been busy all morning. ” The woman with the heavy makeup said, ”Now, can you go and see which company has an interview at this point? Everyone was resting. Come back in the afternoon. ”
”Please, just take a look. Our company's reputation is too great, that's why I am so determined to stay here and not go anywhere else. ”I'm in trouble, I'm begging you …” Tang Tianbao also felt that he was being a bit humble, but in order to find a job, he was willing to give it his all. He didn't care about whether it was face or not, he couldn't care less.
The man sitting next to the woman was munching on his noodles. He gave her an impatient look and said, ”You can interview her.”
The lady nodded her head and put down the box of food. She ended Tang Tianbao's resume and put on an act as she looked at it and said, ”We don't want a student like you in a school.” We only want 211 students. ”
”No, I've done it before. I have work experience.” Tang Tianbao explained.
”We don't need work experience either. We have requirements for recruitment. If you can't meet these requirements, we can't recruit you. ”All right?” After the woman finished, she sat down on a stool and continued eating the box lunch on the small table.
Tang Tianbao picked up the resume and cursed, ”F * ck, you're looking down on people with your dog eyes!”
Even though Tang Tianbao's voice was very soft, the lady in charge of recruitment still heard him. She immediately stood up from her stool, pointed at Tang Tianbao's back, and said, ”Little brat, who are you cursing at?”
At this time, there were not many people left in the hall. Some of them were having lunch during the lunch break, which was rather quiet. That lady's slanderous abuse caused a commotion, and everyone poked their heads out to see what was happening.
Tang Tianbao also realized that the woman would chase after them, so he ran.
The collision with the talent market had given Tang Tianbao quite a blow in his heart. He walked out of the talent market dejectedly and swore that he would never come to this kind of place again. However, he still had to continue looking for work. Tang Tianbao walked into his home Internet Cafe and decided to put his resume on the line and give it a try, whether he succeeded or not.
Humans were usually like this. Only after experiencing a bit of suffering would they be able to recall the sweetness from the past.
Tang Tianbao sat on the curb as a gust of wind blew past. He tightened his collar and looked at the endless stream of cars on the street. For a moment, all of his dreams had been shattered and all his ambitions had been completely destroyed. Tang Tianbao only had a dollar left on him. Because he angrily left Eilan Fashion, he didn't even go to Finance to collect his monthly salary. The bus money of this one dollar was not enough, Chaozhou City was also very strange. The bus money was either one and a half yuan or two yuan, none of them had even one dollar.
Helpless, he took out his phone to call Chen Dalong. Chen Dalong was temporarily unable to connect the call, so he gave Yu Meng a call.
”Little Treasure, what's wrong?” Yu Meng asked over the phone.
”Come pick me up at the talent market near the train.” Tang Tianbao acted as if he had lost his teammates and sent a distress call to the rescue team.
”Little Treasure, I'm at work!” Can I pick you up after work in the afternoon? ” Yu Meng said.
Tang Tian Bao didn't say anything and directly hung up the phone. After a while, Yu Meng called again.
”Little Treasure, I'm taking a taxi to your place right now. Are you still in the talent market?”
”I can't go there except here.” Tang Tianbao's words were a bit tragic, and even tears were flowing out of his eyes.
When Yu Meng rushed over, Tang Tianbao was still sitting at the side of the road, looking quite relaxed.
”Little Treasure, what are you doing on this road?” Yu Meng asked as she got out of the taxi.
