Dave’s diary

Interview Day

I was so nervous and worried. I really don’t know how the interview went but I hope I made a good impression. The other three candidates looked as nervous as me, so at least I wasn’t the only one. The man who interviewed me was really nice and the questions he asked were easy, but the woman was horrible. I hope I get the job but I really wouldn’t like to work in her department.

Next Day

I got the job! I’m so excited. I start on Monday. I have to go shopping. I need another suit and some ties. I can’t turn up for my first day wearing the same suit and tie I was wearing at the interview. And I think I should get my hair cut.

Monday

Oh no! What a disaster! It was my first day and I was so happy! And all that is ruined now. First of all, I turned up over thirty minutes late! It wasn’t my fault - the bus broke down - but you can’t make excuses on the first day. Then I spilt coffee all over my boss - she was so angry! And my boss is the woman from the interview. At least nothing went wrong in the afternoon, but that’s because I stayed behind my desk and tried to read all the files they gave me.

Tuesday

Today was much better. My colleagues are great. They told me not to worry about yesterday, but they were laughing about it and saying they couldn’t remember a first day that was such a disaster. The work is really difficult, but I’m pleased about that. I wouldn’t want a job that was boring. It’s good to use my brain again as I haven’t done much since I finished university two months ago. I think I could really enjoy it here.

Wednesday

Working in a big city is so stressful! It takes me almost an hour to get to work and then going home can take even longer. The buses and trains are so crowded that by the time I arrive at work I’m exhausted. And they give me a lot of work. I didn’t finish until after 8 o’clock last night and by the time I got home I was very tired. My boss came to talk to me today - the first time since I spilt coffee over her on the first day. She said I was the best candidate and that she was sure I’d be fine. It was so nice - I think I might like her after all.
