Day 15: I've got a job..

Second job interview. Today, at 11.30 am I went to the store in 333 Oxford street (close to Bond Street Tube Station) for the second job interview, in the same store where I'll work if I'm hired. Great preparation and great anxiety. The song "Hall of Fame" and the Al Pacino's motivational speech of the film "Any Given Sunday" gave me the power I needed.

Italians everywhere. I arrived early at the store, trying to find out information about that place: almost all people I asked where Italians, included the recruiter for the interview. But, as usual, we had to speak English. The interview was quick: after brief introduction of myself and of my CV, she started asking questions and explaining me the position I'll take if I'm successful. It was pretty easy, except for a question: "what's your weakness?". But I tried to give a positive idea of it, and it worked.. Anyway, if I was successful I would receive a call directly from the Zara Recruitment Centre in 120 Regent Street.

And it happened. On the way back to the hostel, I avoided taking the tube and I preferred the bus to be always reachable. At 4.30 pm the call came. I'm hired as a stockroom assistant: I will work 16 hours a week with two shifts of 8 hours on Wednesday and Saturday from midnight to 8 am. And due I will be working at night, Zara will pay me double. It means: working for 16 hours and being paid for 32! Perfect! On Monday I will sign the contract! I can't wait!

My best song: You can be the best

Yeah, You could be the greatest 

You can be the best 

You can be the king kong banging on your chest 

You could beat the world 

You could beat the war 

You could talk to God, go banging on his door 

You can throw your hands up 

You can be the clock 

You can move a mountain 

You can break rocks 

You can be a master 

Don't wait for luck 

Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself 

Standing in the hall of fame 

And the world's gonna know your name 

Cause you burn with the brightest flame 

And the world's gonna know your name 

And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame 

You could go the distance 

You could run the mile 

You could walk straight through hell with a smile 

You could be the hero 

You could get the gold 

Breaking all the records that thought never could be broke 

Do it for your people 

Do it for your pride 

Never gonna know if you never even try 

Do it for your counrty 

Do it for you name 

Cause there's gonna be a day 

When your, standing in the hall of fame 

And the world's gonna know your name 

Cause you burn with the brightest flame 

And the world's gonna know your name 

And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame 

Be a champion, Be a champion, Be a champion, Be a champion 

On the walls of the hall of fame 

Be students 

Be teachers 

Be politicians 

Be preachers 

Be believers 

Be leaders 

Be astronauts 

Be champions 

Be true seekers 

Be students 

Be teachers 

Be politicians 

Be preachers 

Be believers 

Be leaders 

Be astronauts 

Be champions 

Standing in the hall of fame 

And the world's gonna know your name 

Cause you burn with the brightest flame 

And the world's gonna know your name 

And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame
