Agency employee: Okay, I’d like to find out a little more about your Employment history. Tell me about your last job.
Kurt: Oh, that was a Mind-numbing position. I did Menial work all day and I Burned out in six months.
Agency employee: What about the job you had before that?
Kurt: The problem with that job was that there was a Glass ceiling. They would never Promote a person like me.
Agency employee: And what about the job you had before that?
Kurt: I only took that job as a Steppingstone to the next one, but it turned out to be a Stumbling block instead. My boss didn’t like me and wouldn’t give me a good Reference.
Agency employee: Okay, so you were not happy with any of the jobs you’ve had.
Kurt: No, they weren’t right for me. I don’t want To be trapped in a dead end job. I want something that will give me Personal satisfaction.
Agency employee: I see. Well, we’ll do the best we can. Have you considered working at an employment agency? I’m looking for a new job myself.
