First Employee

' This means that fame is not far!" John thoughts kept up buying in ideas of different options.' No, I have to find my home. What about when I received rewards that requires large storage facilities. Wait! Yeah... I have to acquire a place I refer as my home.

"I have to make sure I purchase a mansion. A house with due respect. I was outlooked by my uncle's family, but my vein will always run the true blood of Fransisco lineage."

John sat behind the counter of his store, thinking about the next steps he needed to take to ensure his business's succeeded. After browsing through his phone, an advert popped up on the screen.

The advert was from Huduma Company in Greenland City, that advertised skilled labour. John remembered he had to employ someone in his store to start off.

He knew he needed someone reliable and well-trained, and Huduma Company came highly recommended for providing skilled personnel for various jobs. He picked up his phone and dialed their number.

"Good morning Madam, kindly, am I calling to Huduma Company?" John asked.

" Yeah... Kindly how may I assist you?" The voice on the other end was bright and professional, with a hint of a American accent.

"Hi, my name is John. I'm looking to hire an employee for my store. I heard your company can help with that," John replied.

"Absolutely, Mr. John! We provide well-trained personnel for different jobs. Could you please specify the kind of worker you are looking for?" the representative asked.

"I need someone who can handle sales in a store, preferably with some experience. Also, they should be familiar with handling various items safely," John explained.

"Understood. We have several candidates who fit that description. Would you like to come in and meet with them? Our office is located on Elm Street."

"Yes, that sounds perfect. I'll be there in about an hour," John said, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.

"Great! We'll be expecting you, Mr. John. See you soon," the representative responded cheerfully.

John locked up his store and hopped onto his new motorcycle, the engine purring softly as he made his way to Huduma Company. The ride was smooth and exhilarating, and before long, he arrived at the office.

The Huduma Company building was an impressive structure, with large glass windows and a sleek, modern design. The entrance was flanked by well-manicured plants, and the logo of the company was prominently displayed above the doorway. John walked in, feeling slightly out of place but determined.

Inside, the reception area was spacious and inviting, with comfortable chairs and a coffee table stacked with magazines. The walls were adorned with motivational posters and photographs of company events. A receptionist sat behind a polished wooden desk, typing away on a computer.

"Good morning, how can I help you?" the receptionist greeted John with a warm smile.

"Hi, I'm John. I have an appointment to discuss hiring an employee for my store," John said.

"Of course, Mr. John. Please have a seat, and I'll notify our HR manager that you're here," the receptionist replied, gesturing towards the waiting area.

John took a seat, glancing around at the other people waiting. Some were dressed in business attire, while others wore more casual clothing. He observed a young man nervously flipping through a magazine, and a middle-aged woman typing furiously on her phone.

After a few minutes, a well-dressed man in a crisp suit approached John. His smile was welcoming, and he extended his hand in greeting. "Mr. John, I'm Samuel, the HR manager. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, Samuel," John replied, shaking his hand.

"Please, follow me," Samuel said, leading John down a corridor lined with offices. They passed by several rooms where employees were busy at work, some conducting interviews, others typing on computers and others were speaking on phones.

Samuel led John into a cozy office decorated with modern furniture and abstract art on the walls. A large window overlooked the bustling street outside, and a sleek desk sat at the center of the room.

"Have a seat, Mr. John," Samuel said, motioning to a comfortable chair. "So, you're looking to hire someone for your store. Could you tell me a bit more about your business and what you're looking for in an employee?"

John settled into the chair and began explaining his needs. "I run a small automotive spare parts store in Huruma Street". I need someone who can handle sales, manage the inventory, and ensure that the items are handled safely. Experience is important, but I'm also looking for someone trustworthy and reliable."

"Understood," Samuel nodded, taking notes. "We have several skilled candidates who fit that profile. Would you like to meet a few of them today?"

"Yes, that would be great," John replied, eager to find the right person for his store.

Samuel pressed a button on his desk phone and spoke briefly. A moment later, the door opened, and a young woman walked in. She had a confident stride, dressed in a smart business suit, her hair neatly pulled back into a ponytail.

"Mr. John, this is Grace. She has three years of experience working in retail and comes highly recommended by her previous employers," Samuel introduced.

"Nice to meet you, Grace," John said, standing up to shake her hand.

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. John," Grace replied with a warm smile. Her voice was clear and professional.

"Grace, why don't you tell Mr. John a bit about your experience and what you can bring to his store?" Samuel suggested.

"Of course," Grace began, "I have worked in retail for the past three years, primarily handling sales and inventory management. I am familiar with various sales techniques and customer service strategies. Additionally, I have been trained in handling products safely and efficiently, ensuring that the inventory is always in good condition."

"That sounds impressive," John said, nodding. "What do you enjoy most about working in retail?"

"I enjoy interacting with customers and helping them find what they need. It's rewarding to see them leave the store satisfied. I also like the challenge of managing inventory and ensuring everything runs smoothly," Grace explained.

"Thank you, Grace," Samuel said, signaling that the interview was over. "We will be in touch soon."

Grace nodded and left the room, closing the door softly behind her.

"What did you think, Mr. John?" Samuel asked.

"She seems very capable," John replied thoughtfully. "I'd like to meet a few more candidates, though."

"Of course," Samuel agreed. "We have a few more lined up."

The door opened again, and this time a young man walked in. He was dressed in a casual shirt and jeans, with a friendly smile and an easygoing demeanor.

"Mr. John, this is Alex. He has two years of experience in retail and is known for his excellent customer service skills," Samuel introduced.

"Nice to meet you, Alex," John said, shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. John," Alex replied, his voice friendly and relaxed.

"Alex, why don't you tell Mr. John a bit about your experience?" Samuel suggested.

"Sure," Alex began. "I've worked in retail for the past two years, mainly focusing on customer service and sales. I enjoy helping customers find what they need and making sure they have a positive experience in the store. I'm also good at keeping track of inventory and making sure everything is organized."

"Customer service is very important in my store," John said. "Can you give me an example of a time when you went above and beyond for a customer?"

"Absolutely," Alex replied. "There was a time when a customer came in looking for a specific item that we had just run out of. I took the initiative to call a nearby store to see if they had it in stock and arranged for it to be held for the customer. The customer was very appreciative and became a regular because of that experience."

"That's great to hear," John said, impressed.

"Thank you, Alex," Samuel said, indicating the interview was over. "We will be in touch."

Alex nodded and left the room, his friendly smile lingering as he closed the door.

"What did you think of Alex?" Samuel asked.

"He seems very customer-focused, which is good," John replied. "I'd like to meet one more candidate."

"Of course," Samuel said, pressing the button on his desk phone again.

The door opened once more, and an older woman walked in. She had a warm, maternal presence and was dressed in a practical yet professional outfit.

"Mr. John, this is Martha. She has over five years of experience in retail and is known for her reliability and strong work ethic," Samuel introduced.

"Nice to meet you, Martha," John said, shaking her hand.

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. John," Martha replied, her voice calm and reassuring.

"Martha, could you tell Mr. John a bit about your experience?" Samuel asked.

"Of course," Martha began. "I have worked in retail for over five years, handling sales, inventory management, and customer service. I believe in treating customers with respect and ensuring they have a positive experience in the store. I am also very organized and efficient, making sure that the inventory is always well-managed and the store runs smoothly."

"That sounds excellent," John said. "What do you find most rewarding about working in retail?"

"I enjoy helping customers and making sure they leave the store happy. It's satisfying to know that I played a part in their positive experience. I also take pride in keeping the store well-organized and running efficiently," Martha explained.

"Thank you, Martha," Samuel said, signaling the interview was over. "We will be in touch soon."

Martha nodded and left the room, her calm presence lingering even after she had closed the door.

"What did you think of Martha?" Samuel asked.

"She seems very experienced and reliable," John replied thoughtfully.

"All three candidates are strong choices," Samuel said. "Do you have a preference?"
