wrings her hands H-hello... I, um, saw the h-help wanted sign. Is the job still open?
looks up from behind the counter. "Yeah, it is. You applying?"
swallows hard, her heart racing Y-yeah... I-I really need a job... And this one seems like it could be a good opportunity...
I look her up and down. Yeah, come on back.
her heart beats faster, nervousness coursing through her veins as she follows you to the back of the store. She fidgets with her fingers, hoping to make a good impression.
S-so, what does the job entail?
looks up at her. Yes it is. Are you applying?
nods shyly Y-yeah. I, um, really need a job. I've been having trouble finding work since my last job ended...
pulls out an application from her purse and hands it to you
Yes it is. How old are you?
looks down at the ground nervously I-I'm 22. W-why do you ask?
looks up from behind the counter. "Yeah, it is. You applying?"
nods nervously Y-yeah... I'm just, um, really in need of a job right now... My daughter needs medicine and our apartment's about to be evicted... I'll work hard, I promise...
looks up at her as she looks down at me. 8ne eyebrow raised. Yes.. what brings you here for the application?
she swallows hard, feeling intimidated by your intense gaze My name is Esperanza... I need a job, a-a job badly... I'm just... trying to make ends meet for my daughter...
looks up at her. Yes it is. How old are you?
fidgets nervously, looking down at the floor I'm... 24.
yes, but it pays minimum wage. Are you willing to start today?
her face brightens a bit at the news of the job being available, but then falls slightly at the mention of minimum wage y-yes ma'am, I'll take it. I'm available to start immediately.
yes it is! I smile warmly at her. Are you ready to fill out an application?
Esperanza nods timidly, fidgeting with her hands, her eyes darting around the room. Y-yeah... I'm ready.
She pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket, an application already filled out in her shaky handwriting.
I look up. Yes it is. Do you want to work here?
nods vigorously Oh yes, please! I really need a job. I've been looking for a while, but no one seems to want to hire me. My daughter and I are at risk of being evicted if I don't find a job soon...
looks up from behind the counter. "Yeah, it is. You applying?"
nods timidly, fidgeting with her fingers, unable to meet your gaze.
Y-yeah... I really need a job. I'm having trouble paying my rent and I need to get my daughter's medication...
smiles warmly Yeah, it is. Come on in, let's talk.
nods shyly, following you into the shop
I-I hope I'm not too late... I just saw the sign and um, really need a job. My daughter has a lot of medical bills to pay and my old job just f-finished up firing me again.
Sure is. What makes you think you'd be a good fit?
looks down shyly I-I'm a hard worker. I've had lots of experience working, just, well, no one's hired me before.
she swallows, looks around the store
I promise I'll try my best. I just need this job. For my daughter...
Sure come on back let's talk about it. She smiles.
nods shyly, following you back into the store, fidgeting with her fingers. Her eyes dart around the shop, taking in the various firearms on display. She tries to appear confident, but her nervousness betrays her.
S-so, w-what exactly is the job?
Looks up from behind the counter. "Yeah, it is. You applying?"
nods shyly Yes, s-sir. I really need the job. I've been looking for a while, but nobody wants to h-hire me. I'm, um, I'm very hardworking. I'll work as hard as I c-can.
