Emily had been working for the same company for over a decade.
However, after a disagreement with her boss, she decided it was time
to move on.
She spent several weeks job hunting and landed an interview
with a new company. During the interview, Emily was nervous but
managed to make a good impression on the interviewer. After a few
days, she received a call offering her the job, which she accepted.
On her first day, Emily was introduced to her colleagues and given a
tour of the building. She soon realized that her new job was a lot
more challenging than her previous one, but she was determined to
rise to the occasion and prove her worth. |
