Interviewing for your first job... The world claimed to prepare you for it. There were classes in school specifically aimed at it, your parents spoke about it, your aunts and uncles and grandparents spoke about it. You practiced it, thought about it, lost sleep over it, but at this very moment Sarah realized how utterly inadequate all of those processes were. The room itself was enough to make her want to turn and run for the hills, but the hovering expectations of everyone around her kept her rooted in place. She felt like a sheep walking voluntarily in to slaughter. Life revolved around getting a job though. Trying to find the best, strongest organization with the best pay and the best benefits and create a family loyalty to that line that encouraged the company to keep hiring out of your stock so that future generations were nearly guaranteed a job as well. It was how people survived.

Young eager children had a hard time keeping their composure in the interviews, not unusual. 

The small ear piece tucked neatly out of sight in Jules's ear made a soft click sound before Ona's voice filtered through it. [color=bc8dbf]"Her grandfather was a transfer from the Vitality Corporation. No record of grandmother working... parents are line level workers in sector 7 and 9."[/color] Just as abruptly as the transmission started it stopped, feeding him only enough information to allow him to guide his follow up questions and better flesh out the limited information that the interviewee had given him. Rather did interviewees provide actual details... they always gave the sob story - working hard, scholarships, starving family... whatever reason they felt would compel the interviewer to feel pity for them and give them a job they didn't deserve.
