The sun shines brightly as promised by its shimmering light. Clad in my casual wear and old worn brown shoes, headed downtown to find a job...that day, for me finding a job is quiet frightening because there are many factors to consider:
a. a fresh graduate
b. married
c. above 30 years
d. money in pocket just enough for fare and "merienda"
"Good Morning Ma'am" the guard said from a famous private office. "Good Morning", I replied. May I know where's the office of the manager? The guard showed me to the Manager's office. Sat infront the manager's table, he started browsing over my papers...and nod. After a 15 minute interview, finally, he said: Uhum...your course is quiet in demand in the field of communication but am sorry we only accept applicants who are 25 years below and single... I smiled and curtly I replied: thank you sir for your time... have a nice day!
Rushed from the main door of that building, called for a tricycle...As I sat inside, tears keep flowing...i can't really control them. I was so very very upset. I blamed myself for marrying at a very young age and finished my college in my early 30's.At home, strength regained and calmed down. Was able to regain my wits and selflessness. I said to myself: Lady, this is not the end of the world yet. I know someday there's a fine job store for you.
