In the summertime, when the weather is high... students are looking for a job
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I've just come back home. I was out for a job interview. Oh, the heat! There are over 30 degrees Celsius out there! (that is over 86 Fahrenheit degrees according to this)

The stupid tube! I had to wait for 15 minutes for it. Anyway, I got there running up the stairs, all red, but I got there almost on time. Surprise, surprise! There was somebody from my faculty, waiting to be interviewed for the same job.This was her third interview this week (today is Tuesday, mind you!) and she was going to another interview after this one.The recruiter gave us some tests (we had to type something on the computer, solve a maths problem and answer some questions - like: "What do you look for in a job?").

When we finished, I waited for my friend to smoke a cigarette and then got in the subway, where I met yet another aspiring employee (another friend, going to a job interview, had already been to about 5 of them in the last 2 weeks).

Most people my age (I'm talking about 19 to 21 year-olds) have a job or are looking for one. Some do it for a few extra cash, some just for the job experience, some for both of them. That is quite a new phenomenon for Romania. People used to wait to finish their studies and only then did they get a job. Now, times are changing, the pressure is higher. Welcome to capitalism, Romania!
