I nodded and explained further, “I will need to be having physical meetings with them at least once in a week seeing as we are just starting. I will keep the rest of the applicants in the pool for when we expand.” Farida nodded her agreement. “That’s better. Just let me know how it goes.” This job posting has just made me realise that so many people were unemployed in this country. Most had neither previous job experiences nor present jobs to show. And I believe at least half of them are in a job that they do not enjoy or fit in. About an hour later, I said goodbye. The drive back home was smooth. I called Luba after dinner to ask about our plans for the interview. She ran them by me again, not failing to remind me of her plan B. I sighed, Luba was just being Luba. However, I was determined to find my employees among this bunch.
