Lena, look at this! There's a job opening at the bike shop on Mill Street. Weekends only. I want to apply for it. But first I need a new résumé. My old one is from 2019, and it says my email is bigburak99. Oh boy.

Help me, please. You write the cover letter and I'll do the application. It asks for three words about me. I wrote 'hungry, late and hopeful'. Lena, stop laughing! It's true.

Okay, okay. I'll write 'friendly, fast and good with bikes'. Better? And please check my résumé for typos. Last time I wrote 'I am a team plater'.

Good morning, Mr. Patel. Thanks for the interview. Yes, I'm a little nervous. No, I don't have any qualifications in hotels. But I took a customer service class, and I worked at a coffee shop for two years.

'Tell me about yourself.' Okay. I'm twenty-four, I live in Austin, and I love people. I also have a cat named Pickle and a plant named Gerald. Sorry, that was too much, wasn't it?

My reference? My old boss, Mrs. Kaya. Here's her number. She'll say I'm always on time. She won't say I once dropped forty cups. Oh. I just said it. Can I start over?

Dan, you won't believe this. Last week I saw a job posting for a delivery driver at Greenfield Foods, and I sent my résumé just for fun. Today a recruiter called me. Her name is Hannah. I was on the train, so I said 'Hello?' very loudly.

She said the company wants to hire two drivers. They want to shortlist six people, and I'm one of the six! I shouted 'Yes!' and the whole car looked at me. An old lady moved to another seat. I think she was scared.

Anyway, my interview is on Monday. Don't tell Mom yet. Actually, tell her. She'll make a cake. Thanks, man.

Hello, is this Mrs. Clarke? It's Ece Demir. I want to send in my application for the coffee shop job again, because I'm still waiting to hear back. Did you get my first one two weeks ago?

Oh, you emailed me last Tuesday? To my old address? Ha, that's my bad. I'll check it right now. Oh! 'We'd like to offer you the job.' Wonderful!

I'm available from Monday. But I have to be honest. Another coffee shop offered me a job yesterday, and I'm going to decline their offer. Their coffee tastes like soup. Yours is much better. See you Monday!

Hi, Ms. Green, thanks for having me. Yes, I'm here for the internship at the radio station. No, I didn't bring donuts. Just kidding. I'm nervous, so I joke around.

'Why do you want this job?' Easy. I love radio. When I was nine, I recorded my family at dinner and played it back at breakfast. Nobody was happy, but I loved it. 'Can you deal with difficult people?' Yes. I have three little sisters.

Thanks again, Ms. Green. Fingers crossed! I'll be waiting by my phone. Well, near my phone. Well, in the kitchen with a snack.
