The new employee

The document is an extract from a movie about social media.

The main character is a new employee in an office.

Her colleagues want to know her secrets. They want to connect with her online and socialize with her in real life.

Her profile is private so she is a mystery / an enigma.

They are shocked because maybe she has lied for her job interview.

Description of the best job interview

  • During a job interview, people should wear an elegant outfit and have a neat haircut.

They shouldn’t be shy but they should speak with energy.

Finally, they should be polite and arrive on time.

 

  • For me, the perfect boss should be serious and silly at times. They should respect and help their employees. Finally, they shouldn’t be too strict. On the contrary, they should be gentle and nice.
