Chapter 4: Chapter 4 (1/2)

After Hyunwoo was done with the interview, they proceeded with the interview with Mr. Oh Sangho, who was next to him.

The way they interviewed him was totally different. The interviewer was different from the start.

It was the female interviewer, not Yonggu.

Also, they only asked him two questions. The questions and answers were very simple.

”Are you here permanently?”

”Yes, only three days has pa.s.sed since I got here.”

”How is your life at the efficiency department?”

”I'm satisfied. I'm thankful to Ms. Minhey.”

Oh and the female interviewer smiled at each other.

That was it when it came to Oh's interview.

”Thank you. You can leave now.”

At that moment, the middle-aged man sitting in the far left corner of the room cut off Yonggu. The interviewer, who had a generous and thoughtful look, said out of the blue,

”Wait a moment. Mr. Jang Hyunwoo, stay here. Bring in only one more candidate.”

Hyunwoo glanced at the generous interviewer.

It was clear that he was the senior interviewer here because the other interviewers became nervous after he said this. He looked like the president of the company.

I think I have to be alert this time. No, no, what's the big deal about a company president? I can think of him like a customer when I'm a chauffeur. Okay, let me take him to his destination comfortably.

While Hyunwoo was gathering his determination, another applicant came in and sat next to him.

He smelled the delicate fragrance of a flower from the woman applicant, something that made one imagine a plain-looking woman.

He almost turned his head toward her.

What kind of face does she have? Does she have long hair? Does she have smooth skin? Does she have pure eyes? Does she have red and beautiful lips?'

He mobilized all his imaginative power in his head to imagine her face. He was just anxious to see her face directly.

But he could feel that she had a very beautiful face even without looking at her, for he could see the brighter expression of the interviewers. They opened their eyes wide when the woman applicant entered the room before they even knew it.

In particular, Yonggu was the most noticeable. His eyes were glittering, and his tone was much different now.

The woman applicant's answer was crystal clear. Her clear tone, which made one think of a voice actor, was so confident and pleasant that it seemed to win over the minds of not only the interviewers but also Hyunwoo.

Asking her enough questions, Yonggu glanced at the other interviewers' expression a bit, suggesting that she was more than enough to be hired.

Only then did the generous interviewer open his mouth, saying, ”Ms. Min Suji, what do you think about discriminating against academic background in a company? For example, do you think you have to treat high school graduates, college graduates, and those with MA and Ph. D degrees the same way? Or, do you believe there should be a difference in their treatment?”

”I think the treatment should be based on the worker's job performance, not on the worker's academic background or s.e.x.”

Min Suji offered a clear answer this time, too.

Hyunwoo really liked her way of speaking and thinking.

But it seemed the generous interviewer had a different thinking.

”What do you think about the candidates' work experience, then? Do you believe they should be judged only by their job performance regardless of their work experience?”

”Those with work experience contributed to their companies through their service, and they should be given credit for that because the new hires could think 'I would've worked long enough for this company if I wanted to get that level of treatment.' In that respect, they should duly be given credit for that.”

Hyunwoo thought her reply was wise. If he had been asked the same question, he wouldn't have answered like that.

However, the generous interviewer was persistent, contrary to his generous image.

He continued to use her own words to question her.

”Don't you think you can apply the same standard to the candidates' academic background? Don't you think that they should receive credit because the years of their studies could be of help to the company? When they get credit, don't you think the potential hires should be more prepared before applying?”

Min Suji was suddenly speechless. After thinking hard, she barely opened her mouth and wasn't so confident this time.

”I think so. I didn't think about that aspect.”

Though it was regrettable that she couldn't dispute what he had said, she still stated her opinion clearly.
