Maya : Hey, Adam! It’s been a while. We need to catch up. How was the job
hunting?
Adam : I know. Well, it’s been busy for me. I’ve been calling around various
companies to check if they have vacancies. I’ve had three interviews so far.
Maya : Keep on it. Things will work out. One thing at a time, alright? Find a job you
really like. Some people have jobs with great pay, but they are really
unhappy.
Adam : Tell me about it. My dad has been forcing me to get a job already. I was
about to give in to the first job offer when the other two companies called for
an interview.
Maya : Don’t. Find a job that makes you happy, or else you are not going to do well
at work.
Adam : I’m just so tired of all our friends showing off and talking about their work.

Adam is tired of watching his brother showing off his new car, so his best friend Maya
has been helping him look for a job. First, Adam has to catch up on some current

friends who work in stable companies to see if there are any vacancies. At the same

be something better. Adam isn’t too worried though, he knows all his efforts will work
out eventually.
