The interview went well. Alva had a nice appearance, good skin, and a gentle aura that was well-suited to cosmetics sales. She started working the very same day.

Alva worked in the Itokin Building. It was the largest shopping mall in Virginia and catered to mid-to-high-class consumers. It saw high volumes of traffic every day.

Alva worked hard. She was the first one to come in and the last one to leave every day. She learned about cosmetics, took notes, shadowed other clerks as they sold products, and put what she learned into practice immediately. In just a few days, she was already familiar with the process.

The store manager noticed her effort and was very satisfied with her work ethic.

Alva said to the store manager, “Manager, I have to take this call.”

Bosses tend to like hardworking and motivated employees. Naturally, they can be very accommodating to said employees.
