Please go home and wait for our answer. We will tell you the result in three days. Good luck to all of you!” On the third day, Tina received the message from the company telling her that she was not employed. She felt upset. In order to comfort her, I pretended to be relaxed and said, “It does not matter! I believe you will have more opportunities in the future!”Late in the afternoon, Tina suddenly told me excitedly on the phone, “Dad, good news! Ive made it!” I could not wait to ask her, “Whats the whole matter?” Tina told me that she received a second message saying that she was employed. She was so confused that she made a call to the company. In fact, the message Tina got in the morning was also part of the test of the interview.
