The Interview

Marisol: Thanks for coming in. Have you ever worked in a café before?

Applicant: A little. I made coffee at a small place near my school, but that was just weekends.

Marisol: That's fine. Honestly, I employ people for their attitude, not their résumé.

Applicant: Oh. Okay.

Marisol: So tell me — have you ever dealt with an angry customer?

Applicant: Um, once. A man's order was wrong, and he was really upset. I just stayed calm and remade it for free.

Marisol: See, that's experience. That matters more than years.

Applicant: I was worried I didn't have enough.

Marisol: Most people who say that turn out great. The confident ones scare me.

Applicant: So… should I consider this a yes?

Marisol: I need an assistant who learns fast and stays kind. You just showed me both.

Applicant: Wait, really?

Marisol: Can you start Monday?
