My First Job.....Interview

It was only a couple of weeks ago when i had my first job interview. I was so scared but knew I was going to get the job. I have a connection through my sister so obviously I was going to get the job. But i was still so horrified.......
      " Emma?"
      " Yes " I said shyly grinning. My heart pumping so hard I could see my chest move.
      " Are you ready?"
      " Ummm....... I hope so."
      " You'll be fine.....I think. Ha I'm just kidding. If you're anything like your sister then you will be a perfect fit here."
30 seconds later. "So this is Lance. He will be helping me conduct your interview. Don't feel nervous around him because you'll be working with him in the summer."
I was automatically excited.
      " I guess that is OK!" I said looking flirty because he was so cute!!
He was the a lot taller than me and had sandy blondish brown hair. And such a cute smile. Ugh just so cute!
     "HAHA ok nice to meet you." he said looking a little unsure of himself.
     " So Emma I want you to pretend that Lance and I are kids during summer camp. I cant be there so I ask you to start a game with the kids. Talk to us like we are kids and teach us how to play a game. But make it original!" as she winked at me like she was saying "you can do it!"
     " WOW! Well this is short notice and quite embarrassing, but ok....OK KIDS! Today we will play one of my favorite games. We are playing hide and seek. You all need to go hide in clever spot and someone will come find you. You may NOT go under cars or past the edge of the grass! Understood?!"
    " Are we allowed to punch kids who get in our way and steal our hiding spots?" she said in a surprisingly childish way.
    " Most definitely not!"
    " OK Emma that was good. So next question. What would you bring to this staff and summer camp?"
    " I am very good with kids and I'm good at solving problems between kids. I went to Ottoman Elementary and I was on the mediation team because I was awesome. I'm super friendly and a hard worker. I don't complain and so yea I'm just a really good person. I'm the kind of person that will be there before everyone else and leave after everyone else."
    " Cool. Cool. I think that is really good answer and I think you will be a perfect fit."
    " So your first job will be later in the month and ill have you work the concert in the park."
    " Sweet. I'm super excited. And thank you so much. I'm really looking forward to working here!"

  1. Emma, good story! The dialogue is very good. One thing you can improve on is clarity. I wasn't sure what your job was.
