Gradually, biology became fascinating and first jokingly, I started talking about 9. majoring in
biology. And that was the course I eventually 10. applied for and got accepted to as well. I spent a

During the 4. two-hour interview, I realised that couldn’t have been 5. further from the truth. Towards the end the questions were getting 6. more and more confusing. At the end of the 7. awkwardly long interview, the interviewer 8. apologetically told me that even though I was 9. perfectly qualified for the job, they had already decided to hire somebody else. Having already scheduled the interview on her schedule, she said she didn’t want her time to go to waste. I guess my time was so much 10. less important, it didn’t matter.” “In my early twenties I had an interview at 11. one of the best-known department stores. Wanting to make a long-lasting first impression, I decided to focus on every detail. So I wore my best skirt even though I had gained a few pounds since buying it. I was 12. well-prepared to answer every question 13. briefly but informatively enough, and I was convinced they would hire me. The personnel manager greeted me 14. in a friendly way/manner/fashion and my confidence grew 15. greater and greater as I walked in front of him towards his office. Once at the office he looked 16. strangely uncomfortable. Before I managed to say a word, he suggested that I would go to the ladies room to check on my skirt. To my horror, the mirror in the ladies room revealed a huge tear in my skirt. My face turned 17. as red as the underwear that was showing. I was 18. way/much/far too embarrassed to return to the office having been showing off my underwear 19. in public / publicly. In addition to not getting the job, I decided it was 20. best to do my shopping in another store in the future as well.”
