He must be over this whole event.
“Thank you,” I reply, taking my seat.
“Hello, Ms. White,” says the other woman beside Helen. She seems very professional and an upfront type of person, but her eyes give the vibe of being just plain unkind or uncaring.
I might need to steer clear of her.
“I’m Jenny Ford, Office Manager. This is Helen, the HR Manager.” Then pointing to the old man, she says, “Tim is Executive Assistant and beside him is Jared, Chief Financial Officer.” She points toward the young fella on the end who looks too young to be in that position. “And on telephone conference we have our CEO, Mr. Andrews.”
“Good Morning,” I address them all in my most professional voice, trying not to sound how my insides feel. I begin to fidget, tangling my fingers together and untangling then repeating, something I do to calm myself in certain situations, and this is one of those kinds of situations.
Deep down, I’m hoping I answer their questions in a pleasing manner. They all greet me and then turn their attention to making notes.
What could they seriously be writing down? The questions haven’t even begun yet!
Helen takes over now. “So, please, tell us a bit about your previous employment?” she asks, preparing her pen to make more notes.
Taking a deep breath, I reply, “I worked in a law firm as personal assistant to one of the partners. I’d been there for about a year before deciding to move to New York.”
“And what were your sole responsibilities?”
“I assisted the partner by booking his appointments, answering phone calls, minutes for meetings, booking flights and accommodation for business trips, and preparing notes and paperwork for all meetings. Those are the main things I undertook, as well as general admin duties,” I answer confidently.
For the next half hour, the questions keep coming from each of the interviewers. Answering them, I try to lighten the mood with a few little giggles and smiles here and there. All in all, it’s a very good interview. I feel quite pleased with myself, although the big CEO on the phone never spoke, which I found odd. You’d think he’d be the one with all the questions, seeing as it could be him I end up working for.
With the interview finished, I shake their hands. “Thank you for the opportunity,” I say, turning toward the door.
Leaving the building, I pull out my phone and call Flick. I promised I’d call when it finished, but it goes to her message bank. “Hey, it’s me. Sooo… the interview went well. They’ll contact me in the next week to let me know the outcome, although I’m not too hopeful. Will fill you in later, catch ya.”

I’m a wife, mother, reader, blogger, and now an author. I’m always busy doing something as I have so much going on, and my three little ones keep me on my toes.
I’m from bright and sunny Queensland, Australia. I have always been a reader. When I was little, I would be up late reading Garfield and Asterix comic books and also Footrot Flats. When I hit high school, they gave us Tomorrow When the War Began by John Marsden, and from there my love of books continued to grow.
I keep a notebook and pen beside my bed for when those late-night ideas pop into my head, plus I’m a stationery addict and love pens, notebooks, and, well, anything stationery.
I’ll say sorry first in case I miss anyone.
I’d like to thank my editor—Lauren from Creating Ink and to my proofreader, Jenn from Jenn Lockwood Editing. Without you ladies, I’d be thoroughly lost. You’ve both pushed me with this one. Thank you for fitting me in on short notice and polishing up my work to make it squeaky clean. You’re awesome! Thanks for all your advice and guidance.
A huge thank you to Ben from Tall Story for designing the perfect cover. It is everything I wanted it to be. I love it!
Thanks, Reggie Deanching, for a beautiful photograph of Vince Alexander Azzopardi. You’re all amazing.
These next mentions are my other halves in the author world. Without their constant support and friendship, I may have given up a long time ago. They’re my cyber sisters spread far and wide around Australia and America, so thank you to Jemma Brown aka JB Heller, KE Osborn, Kaylene Osborn, and Belle Brooks. These ladies are truly amazing. I’d be lost without our chats.
To Anastasia—your help has been incredible. Without you and your input, I’d be all over the place.
To my Flock—I love you, girls. Your support is truly nothing short of amazing. I know I have a safe place in my group with you all. Thank you.
To my readers—I feel blessed to have your continuous support. Thank you.
To my family and my husband—you’re truly wonderful. You’ve never given up on me. You sit and listen when I need to vent out my frustrations, never once complaining about it. I love you.
To my three beautiful children—Millie, Cale, and Finn. You three test my patience, but I’m so grateful to have you in my life to love. Families are forever.
