I recently got a job offer in a nearby area...
The pay and benefits are better than what I have now, but I didn't really consider it...
But a while ago...
My close friend asked me if I wanted to apply for a position at a certain company...
It's great!
Write a cover letter no matter what!
I know someone there, so they can help you... he said.
I called a friend who works there...
There are some things like this and that, but I do the work well... I guarantee it.
So...
Ah... fortunately, there's an internal employee referral program,
and they said that if my friend refers me, I'll get a plus alpha.
So the location is in the metropolitan area and it worked out well...
I told my brother about it...
My wife overheard our conversation...
Why are you recommending someone else...? she said..
I can't work in a big organization anymore... I heard her say.
Actually, the company I'm working at now is small,
so there are a lot of things I can handle on my own,
and I feel like I'm contributing to building the company, so I'm satisfied.
But if I were to transfer to that company,
I would have to compete among many Korean people...
Anyway, I don't like a lot of people, so I said no...
The atmosphere at home, which had been good until recently, suddenly became tense.
Of course, I understand my wife's point of view...
She wants a higher salary and better benefits...
But as I mentioned earlier, I don't want to work there.
My wife went into the room and suddenly I thought...
I'm not playing around either,
and I'm still making enough money to keep the electricity on.
But if...
If I get old and can't make money anymore,
judging by my wife's reaction now,
I wouldn't even be treated like a person. That thought made me sad.
I watched "City Fisherman" alone and thought deeply about it...
Actually, I've never been rejected from a job interview.
My first impression is so good that it's an advantage,
and the second company I interviewed at hired me.
I didn't want to look for other jobs, so I stayed there for 10 years.
Before I started working at my current company,
I interviewed at several companies,
but everyone liked me and wanted to work together, but the conditions weren't right, so I refused.
My current company is close to home,
and I like many other things about it.
My wife might be thinking something like this...
That company is a very famous company.
There are also quite a few applicants.
Even if I write a resume, there's no guarantee that I'll pass...
My husband, who has been watching me for over 10 years,
seems to have an unreasonable confidence that he will pass just by submitting his resume.
I'm getting older now...
and even if I submit my resume, I'll be past the age limit.
But my wife who looks at me thinks...
that I can work there if I just make up my mind...
Anyway...
There's a clear difference in level between ordinary people and me...
I'm good-looking and smart...
but it seems like that's not all good.
My first boss said "come back anytime"...
My second boss said "come back anytime"...
My acquaintances who know me say "let's work together"...
My wife also says the same thing...
I think I understand why high-ranking people are in seclusion...
Anyway...
Being ridiculously good-looking is a curse.
