My heart was pounding as I approached your office. I was excited about the opportunity that this job would provide...and at double my current salary! Whew, I thought as I mentally started thinking of all the things I wanted to buy.

Impatiently, I shook my head, as if to clear the thoughts and scolded myself -this was no time to lose my concentration! I just had to get this job. I stopped outside of the doors to your office and checked myself in the mirror.

I had pulled my hair back in what I considered to be a professional twist in back and had loosened a few strands to frame my face. I smiled at myself and took a deep breath as I straightened my short black skirt and buttoned my white blouse all the way up to my neck. I shrugged into the black business jacket, turned once to make sure all was ok and stepped up to the door.

Your assistant had told me you would be expecting me. I took a final deep breath and raised my hand, knocking lightly on the door.
