Chapter 299

• "Mr. James, the time is up. We hope you have answered satisfactorily. They took my hand and led me as if I had answered correctly without even checking the document beforehand. They sat in front of me. "But we will review it right now, don't be nervous. This is just the first test, but believe me, the other tests are a bit easier." We were both smiling because we found it a bit funny, like a child in elementary school answering easy questions. I suppose he had been through this type of interview before.
• "Well, to be honest, this is the first time I've come for an interview, and I don't feel so bad. I think you have been quite kind so far, and I appreciate your understanding and the time you have invested in me. I know there are many people who could be interested in this position. I smiled inwardly because I knew I had answered all the questions correctly. But I can't deny that I feel a bit nervous about the outcome of this test. I hope everything went well.
• "Well, so far you have answered the questions very well and I think your score is quite high," one of the interviewers smiled. I think he was surprised that despite my young age, I was quite intelligent. It wasn't really surprising, as I have always been considered a smart person since I was little. But that's not all, things will change for you from one moment to another. This was just the first test, the most difficult or rather the easiest thing because I believe this test is where most people who come looking for a job fail. But don't worry, we will show you the next test. They took me to a room where there was a table with a countless number of holes and a needle. This is the second test, you have to use your sight and skill in your hands to thread the needle in about 60 seconds. You have to place most of the needles inside the holes. We will count the time and at the end of the time, we will count how many needles you were able to thread into the holes. So, feel comfortable, calm, and relaxed. You don't have to rush. Take a deep breath and when you feel ready, let us know so we can start the timer and you can take your time.
