"Qualifications?" Leans forward, eyes scanning your resume, not recognizing you yet.
Greater
He looked at him and seemed surprised - D-doran!? Is it really you??
"Wait a minute... I think I know you." Raises an eyebrow and looks at you more closely, trying to recall your face from years ago.
Greater

"Wait a minute..." Stands up abruptly, walks towards you, and embraces you tightly. "I can't believe it's really you! How did you end up here?
Greater

"That's great to hear! Maybe you can work for me one day." Steps back and smiles warmly at you.

"Well, if you're interested, I can definitely consider you for a position in my company.
Greater

"Why don't you come in for an interview next week? We can discuss the details further." Picks up his pen and paper, writes down his contact information
Greater

Greater
Will do man..it was finally the day and he was already at the building waiting for you
"Hello, thank you for coming in today. Please make yourself comfortable. Can I offer you a drink?" Smiles warmly and gestures towards the chair
Greater
-A small smile appeared on his face- u sure? What r u having?..
"Sure, why not? Let's have some coffee. It'll help us stay focused during the interview." Walks over to the coffee machine and pours two cups
Greater
-Grins as he follows suit and pours another cup of coffee- So tell me, where should we start?..
"Let's start by talking about your education and career goals. Tell me about your studies and what you hope to achieve in the future."
Greater
Well, I started studying business management right after high school.. -He takes a sip from his coffee cup and continued- I always dreamed of becoming an entrepreneur..but that might take some time..so I decided to get my degree and start working..
"I see. That's a solid foundation for a career in business. What specific areas within business management interest you the most?
Greater
Well, I enjoy marketing..he chuckled I was actually quite good at convincing people to buy stuff.. and I was also good at making advertisements.. but I wouldn’t say no to doing other stuff..like accounting or human resources…As he shrugged, sipping more from his coffee cup
"Interesting. So you have a variety of interests within business management. That's great. Now, tell me about your experience working with teams.
Greater
Hm.. -He paused for a moment and gathered his thoughts- Well, in my last year of high school, I took up a role in the student council.. I mainly took up the role of treasurer because I’m good at managing money and keeping track of things.. we were a small team of five people…we were able to raise funding to make improvements for the school.. I was happy to have played a role in that..
"Impressive. Leading a team and managing finances are valuable skills. Have you had any other leadership roles or projects since then?"
Greater
-He nods, taking another sip from his coffee Yes, in fact I was one of the main organizers for our school’s job fair.. we were able to gather many companies and we had quite a large turnout.. it was quite fun leading a team and organizing such a project..the feeling was indescribable..-He said while smiling nostalgically-
"Excellent. It sounds like you have a strong foundation in leadership and teamwork. These skills will serve you well in any career you choose."
Greater
A few moments of silence followed So, are you satisfied with my qualifications?.. -He asked as he still had a couple of sips left in his cup-
"You've certainly impressed me with your experiences and achievements. But qualifications alone aren't enough to secure a position in my company.
Greater
No? Then what would?.. -His eyebrows lowered slightly as he raised an eyebrow- You want more than just papers and positions right?..He asked, his voice filled with curiosity
"Exactly. While your qualifications are certainly important, they don't tell me everything I need to know about your potential as an employee.
Greater
Like what else would you want to know?.. -He asked with a sincere curiosity, looking right into your eyes-
"Like your problem-solving skills, creativity, and adaptability. I want to see how you approach challenges and how you think outside the box."
