My First Job
1 I am only 19 year old, so I have not had much experience of work, but years

2 last year I work for two days at a trade fair in Rome.

3 My brother worked for a big company in Rome that makes tractors and

4 other agricultural equipment and he said me that his company was

5 looking for young women to work like sales representatives at the

6 trade fair. He asked me if I will like to apply for the job. I said that I

7 would, and the next day I went to the company for a interview.

8 The interview were very strange because the interviewers

9 did not ask me questions about my school, or my work experience.

10 He only asked me questions like this, ‘How tall are you? How

11 much do you weight?’. I was very surprised by the questions but

12 I really wanted to had the job so I answered them very politely.

13 A few days ago, the company called me and offered me the

14 job. They said that I should arrive to the fair at 7am the next day and

15 go directly to the company’s stand. The next morning, I want to the

16 the stand, where I met two other girls. Then one of the personal

17 arrives and he gave us all bikinis and told us to put them on.

18 Our job was to lie on the tractors in sexy positions. I was very angry

19 and refused to do it so that is the end of my first job!
