Chapter 47: Realization
?
After performing the tasks to the best of his abilities, he saw another holographic screen appeared in the corner of his eyes.
[Congrattions, you havepleted all the tasks. You may leave now, anymore information will bemunicated to you within the next seven working days]
Reading it, Gabriel stood there in confusion. That was all there was to the interview. No matter how he saw the entire thing. It was clear that thepany was just trolling them. "How do these people even expect us to get the job like this" Gabriel said inint
It wasn''t just him, the other six could be seen with simr expressions on their face. Since there was nothing more to do, Gabriel removed the VR Goggles and the gloves.
After doing so he immediately turned to leave. He now understood the people''s confusion, it wasn''t because of the warning, it was because of how random the interview itself was.
None of the tasks he had done seemed rted to the job he was hoping to get. He was here as a software engineer so he didn''t understand why he had to be making coffee and perform other unnecessary tasks.
Those tasks were unnecessary considering what he came for. Gabriel thought of this as he left the room but since he was only just another applicant, what could he say, he simply picked up his documents from where he had kept it and immediately turned to leave.
In doing so, he saw the othersing out of their rooms as well. Each one spotting a confused look on their faces, just like him.
"What did you guys see?" Matthew asked as soon as they stepped out of the main building "Omo these people turn me to coffee boy oo" Gabriel said in response as they bothughed. Matthew too has seen a simr so he understood his reaction but considering that their purpose here was simply to get a job, they bothughed it off.
"let''s just hope we get the job, at least the pay is good" Matthew said as they both sighed
"Imagine what I can do with eighty thousand Naira" Gabriel said as he immediately began to fantasize
Just like the others before them, the six came out and immediately picked up their things and left. As they left, they saw the next six who immediately walked past them to follow after the security guard.
....
In therge building, Fad could be seen overseeing thest few applicants. Her duty in this entire thing was simply to exin how the interview will go and make sure that they sign the non-disclosure agreement.
She sat as she waited for thest group to leave, due to how repetitive it was. She was already on her phone, what they did inside the room were honestly none of her business. Nous already assured her that the devices couldnt be taken out of the premises.
"I''m done ma" a member of thest group said as he stepped up to her
"Excellent, you can leave, you will be contacted within the next seven working days for any updates" She said as she turned her attention away from her phone.
"Okay thank you ma" the man said while giving a professional smile before he turned and left.
Watching him leave, a sigh immediately escaped her lips. She was finally done with all these, now it was up to Nous to sort them out and pick if they are to be hired or not.
The entire interview process was developed by Nous at David''s request. The point was not only to pick the most suitable among all the applicants but also to put them in the most relevant department fit for them.
She, herself found the entire process weird, and since she was the CEO of thepany, she couldn''t me them for their confusion. If she had gone for an interview and this was how it was done, she too would be like them.
"At least it''s done now," she said as she stretched and got ready to leave
"Madam, that was all," the security guard said
"Okay then, I''ll be going... just lock up and you can go as well" she said
"Okay, thank you ma" the man answered
"You''re wee" Fad answered as she packed her things and got ready to go
Normally, she wouldn''t say such a thing as letting the only security guard thepany had to go, but at the moment, there wasn''t exactly anything to guard.
Nigerians may steal everything, but they wouldn''t take things they didn''t understand. She knew for a fact that very few Nigerians knew what a Virtual reality goggle was so she didn''t have much to worry.
Without any hesitation, she immediately stepped into the car and drove off. She may have done practically nothing, but she was tired.
"Hey Nous, did we fill in all the spots?" Fad suddenly asked despite being alone in the car.
[No, you will unfortunately still have toe again tomorrow.] Nous replied
"What? Why?" Fad asked confused
If there was anything she knew in this whole ordeal, it was that everyone who came was being hired. The purpose of the so-called interview was simply to learn what type of person they
were.
As for their qualifications for a job, it didn''t really matter much when they would all soon undergo training to help them master their work well.
As for those who lied on their resume, it also didn''t matter. People have been lying on their resume for years now and yet the world had yet to copse.
It was just a job and people also learn quickly while on said job. She had done it, her former workce didn''t even ept students but she worked there despite being one.
[There were many applicants applying for the same job] Nous exined
"Oh, that makes sense... But what if, no nevermind" She replied as she slowly drove out of thepound.
She could have suggested that they simply use the excess they have to fill up the spaces they have but then she imagined herself in that situation
No one would ever ept it. If they came for the position of a project manager or something and then due to many people applying for it, they were given a different position probably
lower.
No one would ept it so she immediately understood the need for more recruits... Even if they were different, they couldnt make everyone happy
...
Back at home, David could be seen sitting in the tform by the runway again. David liked the ce simply because it allowed for a clear view of the town below.
Despite theck of steady light and magnificent architecture in the town, it still offered a great view. However unlike before, David could be seen sitting with his legs crossed and his
eyes closed.
"Argh!, which kind of frustrating stuff is this!" David shouted as he came out of his failed
meditation
[It''s not frustrating, you have yet to actually achieve meditation talk more finding the energy
required]
"Wetin this one dey talk, don''t you think I''m trying?"
[Most definitely but your efforts aren''t being reflected]
"You don''t need to mock me" David said before he sat properly and began to enjoy the view.
He had been trying as hard as he could to detect the presence of his bio-energy. It was way more difficult than he expected.
Considering that bio-energy could already be felt in form of stamina and all that, he though that detecting it and actually manipting it would be easy but unfortunately it was easier
said than done.
"Now that I think about it, I don''t even know what my next edit will be" David said
He wouldn''t say that he had been busy but between setting up thepany and trying to
break into Tier one. His time had been upied.
Of course, thepany was mostly been done by Fad so he couldn''t exactly take credit for
it when it was her who was doing most of it.
[I would suggest anything that will help you get into Tier One]
"Of course, I know that..." David replied whilst in thought
"Nous is bio-energy in any way rted to one''s life force?"
David suddenly asked after a brief moment of thinking. His goal so far had been to get into
Tier One as quickly as possible so his thoughts never strayed from it.
[Life Force or one''s life energy is the foundation of their entire existence]
"How does that answer my question?"
[The answer is yes, they are rted. Bio-energy is the physical side of one''s life force]
David sat there speechless as he stated out into the open. Likewise, Nous too simply kept
quiet and watched the scene with him
"If you knew this then why didn''t you just tell me"
[You never asked]
"wha... True but I still asked if you have any information that could help me" David
