00:02Come in!
00:14Hi, I'm Mina. I'm here to interview for the management position I saw online.
00:18Hi Mina. Thank you so much for coming in.
00:21Hello.
00:22I'm just wrapping up something here. Just give me one sec, okay?
00:32Um, so, should I just start telling you about myself?
00:37Actually, I thought I'd ask the questions. Just give me one more second, okay?
00:42Fine, I'll wait.
00:44Appreciate it.
00:49Okay, great. Thanks for waiting. So you're here for the management position?
00:54I am.
00:55Did you bring your resume?
00:57No. I submitted it when I applied online. I thought you would have read it by now.
01:02Well, we usually ask our candidates to bring out a copy, but it's okay.
01:07How about let's just start off talking about your experience?
01:11Well, I have extensive restaurant experience, and I am ready to move up to the next level.
01:17Restaurant experience?
01:19Mm-hmm.
01:20Well, that's not really relevant to this position. What do you do there?
01:24Well, um, I'm a hostess, and I greet the guests, and I make sure they have clean water, a clean
01:31table, and I attend to their every need.
01:34It's very heavy responsibility.
01:36Hmm. I'm sure it is. And how long have you been there?
01:41About six months.
01:43Six months, and you're ready to move up out of there.
01:46Exactly.
01:47Okay.
01:49Okay.
01:49Well, this job has very different responsibilities.
01:55You've been managing client needs, making recommendations, supervising junior team members, data analysis.
02:05Mm-hmm.
02:06It just doesn't seem like you have that experience level.
02:12Not enough experience?
02:14Didn't I just tell you that I manage guests every need at the restaurant all day?
02:20You know, it's really rough to manage the entire front house by yourself.
02:25You work there all by yourself?
02:27Well, of course there's other people that work there, but without me, that place will definitely fall apart.
02:35If there's no one to be able to sit people, then nobody will get their food.
02:40And, you know, I am essential.
02:44Yes.
02:46I'm sure that you would be very difficult to replace.
02:48I would be.
02:50However, as I said before, this job has very different responsibilities.
02:59I don't think that you're a good fit for that role, but I do have a receptionist position available.
03:06It's a great ground level role.
03:08You can learn the ropes from there.
03:11And if you do well there, then maybe one day you can move into management.
03:19Receptionist?
03:20A receptionist position?
03:22You mean like answering the phones and getting coffee?
03:28No, thank you.
03:29I'm trying to move up from that.
03:35Transparently, that's not one that usually accomplishes it within six months.
03:39In a position.
03:41And that's true whether you're working in an office or a restaurant.
03:45It takes time and hard work to achieve one's goals.
03:52Look.
03:52I don't need a lecture from you.
03:54Or for you to offer me a position that I'm obviously too good for.
03:58Okay?
03:59If you can respect what I can bring to...
04:06Gleam Industries?
04:08Yes.
04:08I didn't forget.
04:10Just that I've been interviewing all day, all over, and I'm sure I will be getting a callback anytime now.
04:18A callback?
04:19Mm-hmm.
04:19You mean second interview?
04:21A callback is what an actor goes to after their first audition.
04:26Whatever, it's the same thing.
04:29Of course.
04:30Look, man, it's really nice meeting you, and I wish you the best in your endeavors.
04:35That's it?
04:37That's it?
04:38After my big speech, you're not gonna offer me something better?
04:42No.
04:44Look, I told you that we don't have a fit for you.
04:49Look, Mina.
04:51Please.
04:51Yes.
04:52Come in.
04:54Hi.
04:55I'm Rosa.
04:55Oh.
04:56I can...
04:57I didn't mean to interrupt.
04:58I can move outside.
04:59No, come in.
04:59Come in.
04:59Her?
05:00You're interviewing her now?
05:02Yes.
05:04Look.
05:05I've seen her at my restaurant, and she doesn't even know how to dress or tip.
05:11Just so you know.
05:14Have a great day, Mina.
05:21I'm so sorry about that.
05:24Please, come in.
05:26It's all right.
05:27I tried to give her a bit of advice myself, and I don't think she took it well.
05:35It's funny you say that, because I just try to do the same thing, and let's just say
05:40that she's got a lot to learn, because she moves up anyway.
05:42But hey, let's move on.
05:44Yeah.
05:45Aw.
05:47You know, I gotta say, I was really excited when I heard there was an open position here.
05:51Gleam has been a dream job of mine to work for, and openings don't come around very often.
05:56Thank you for understanding that.
06:01Well, your experience is spot on.
06:04It's exactly what we're looking for.
06:07Management, client relations, data analysis.
06:10It's been really hard for me to find someone that's experienced in all three of those, and we've been in
06:17a bind.
06:18How soon can you start?
06:20Right away.
06:21Unfortunately, my current employer has been reducing hours, so I'm not even so sure how
06:26much longer they're going to be around, so.
06:30Yes.
06:31Heard about that.
06:32It's tough times.
06:33You know, it is, but I've made some great connections along the way, and everyone just
06:37wants to kind of move on from right now.
06:40They did tell me they can give me a really strong reference if need be.
06:45That's great.
06:47You know, it sounds like you really value being a part of a team, and that it sounds like
06:55you really value putting your client's needs first, and that is essential to us.
07:00Absolutely.
07:01I feel that as long as you can get your team to feel that they're important, your client
07:06will also feel valued.
07:08I couldn't agree more.
07:12Well, I know that this has been a short interview, but we would love to have you on board.
07:20Why don't you come back on Monday so I can give you a full tour and show you your new
07:25office.
07:26How's that sound?
07:26Sounds great.
07:27Thank you so much.
07:28You're more than welcome.
07:29And I'll also set up a meeting with HR so that we can get that ball rolling because I'm
07:34sure that you know that we have a great benefits package as well as excellent health insurance.
07:41You're welcome.
07:42I look forward to working with you.
07:44Same.
07:45Thank you so much.
07:46You're welcome.
07:48Have a great day.
07:49Me too.
07:50Bye, Rosa.
08:13Hi.
08:15Yes, this is Rosa Williams.
08:19I just wanted to call and tell you that I've started a new job and I would like to resume
08:23my treatment right now.
08:27Yes, next Saturday.
08:30Yes, that works.
08:32Thank you so much.
08:33I'll see you then.
08:43Excuse me, but I think Starbucks is having their job interviews down the street.
08:49Yeah, I work at Starbucks already so I think I know where their job interviews are.
08:53Well, there you have it.
08:55Your outfit just screams I work at Starbucks.
08:59So why don't you run back to your little barista bar and leave the serious internships to me?
09:05This is Goldman Sachs for Christ's sakes.
09:08You can't get an internship here if you're just poor.
09:11Everyone knows that.
09:13Well, if you really need to know, I'm interviewing here at Goldman because I don't want to work
09:18at Starbucks forever.
09:19Though, the drink perks are kind of nice.
09:24Look, my dad used to be a partner here and he told me that most of the people who work
09:29here are legacy.
09:30It's not what you know, it's who you know.
09:34So, you got no shot.
09:36I hate to break it to you.
09:37Why are you so interested in me anyway?
09:40Can't you just mind your own business?
09:42Because you're my competition for the internship and now I'm in your head.
09:46I go low, I go high.
09:49May the best woman get the internship.
09:52Huh.
09:52Losers always try to be nice.
09:55It makes them look better when they lose.
09:58Whatever.
10:01You must be Becky and Leah, my two intern applicants.
10:05Great, I'm Mrs. Franklin and I'll be interviewing you.
10:09Now, I hate to have anyone wait any longer, but it looks like Becky, you're first on the
10:16list.
10:16So, if you'll just wait, Leah.
10:18Becky, would you come to my office with me, please?
10:20Sure thing, Mrs. Franklin.
10:28I am so sorry you have to interview that other girl after me.
10:33She looks like the trash collector who just got done with her shift.
10:38Well, I enjoy meeting all the applicants.
10:42Why don't you tell me a little about yourself?
10:45Well, I really love shopping.
10:48That's probably my main passion.
10:50Okay.
10:53Well, what do you like to shop for?
10:55Oh, you know, just the normal stuff.
10:57Clothes, shoes, that perfect little purse for the summertime.
11:01And since all of that stuff is really expensive, I've grown quite fond of money.
11:07Like, money is awesome.
11:10Okay.
11:11Um, why do you think you're a good fit for this internship?
11:15I am so glad you asked.
11:17So, my dad used to be a partner here, so basically I think I'd be perfect.
11:22Right.
11:22Right.
11:24So, your dad used his connections to get you an interview.
11:27Well, yeah.
11:28Duh.
11:29Okay, Becky.
11:30Um, I think the interview portion is over, so I'll walk you back to the lobby.
11:36Wow.
11:37That was a lot easier than I thought it would be.
11:39I can't wait to be working here.
11:41Do you know how many sick days the interns get?
11:43That will be covered in orientation.
11:46Now, let's get back to the lobby.
11:53Thank you for waiting, Leah.
11:55Uh, I only really have one question for you.
11:59I can ask it here.
11:59Is that alright?
12:01She's not even going to waste her time with you.
12:03Yes, ma'am.
12:04That's perfectly fine.
12:06If it's one question, I hope I can provide an adequate answer.
12:08Why do you want to work for Goldman Sachs?
12:11Well, I know that Goldman is one of the best money managers in the world.
12:16And, coming from a low-income family myself, I had to be my family's money manager ever since I was
12:21a little girl.
12:22Ugh.
12:23Enough with the sob story.
12:26So, I figured with all my experience, I could come and intern here and learn from the best.
12:31Okay, well that was depressing.
12:33Uh, can we hurry this up?
12:35I have a nail appointment at four.
12:36Oh, you'll be out of here in no time.
12:39And, when you leave, don't bother to come back.
12:42What?
12:43You can't be serious.
12:45I'm serious as a heart attack.
12:47Leah, I want to offer you the summer internship here at Goldman Sachs.
12:51But, she comes from a poor family.
12:54She could never fit in here.
12:55Well, actually, I also came from a poor family and I've done great here.
13:00In fact, the circumstances of my youth gave me the strength and the grit to be successful in the workplace.
13:08Quite frankly, Becky, I don't think you have that kind of grit.
13:14Ugh.
13:15Fine.
13:16But, just wait till my dad finds out about this.
13:24Wow, Mrs. Franklin, I don't even know what to say.
13:28Just say you'll start Monday.
13:30Absolutely.
13:34Hi.
13:35Hi.
13:37Oh, actually, do you think you could grab me some water while I wait?
13:40Thanks.
13:42Well, actually, I don't work here.
13:44I just, I thought you were like the receptionist or something.
13:48Oh, no, no.
13:49Why are you here?
13:50Well, I am here to apply for the job.
13:53Wait.
13:54You were interviewing for the sales analyst position?
13:57Yeah, I do.
13:58And I was thrilled when they called me in for the interview because, you know, I've always wanted to work
14:03for a prestigious company like this.
14:06And, well, you know what? They must have seen something in me.
14:09Are you sure they weren't calling you in for, like, the janitor position?
14:15No.
14:15I am here for the sales analyst position.
14:18Just like you.
14:19Mmm.
14:20Honey.
14:21What manager would hire someone as old as you are?
14:24I mean, the healthcare costs would be through the roof.
14:27Besides, it's kind of hard to hustle and grind when you have to be in bed by 7 p.m.
14:33Well, now, for your information, I do not go to bed at 7 p.m.
14:37And my doctor says that I am as healthy as a horse.
14:41Right.
14:43But, like, did you even go to college, though?
14:45Because I know a lot of women didn't go to college when you were young.
14:49Mm-hmm.
14:49That's true.
14:50And I didn't go to college.
14:52But I completed a two-year program at night school.
14:55And I've been an assistant at another tech company for the last six years.
14:59Wow.
15:00Mm-hmm.
15:00That's so cool.
15:01I was actually top of my class at Harvard University.
15:05Harvard.
15:06You know, ever heard of it?
15:06Oh, yeah.
15:07Yeah.
15:08Oh, um, word of advice, though.
15:10Don't apply for jobs that you're, like, totally underqualified for because you're just
15:14going to embarrass yourself.
15:16You know what?
15:17Thank you for the tip.
15:18Of course.
15:18But I'm just going to try my best.
15:20Okay.
15:21We'll see how far that gets you.
15:23Yeah, we will.
15:25Okay, ladies.
15:26Thank you both very much for coming in to interview today.
15:29Uh, because of the nature of this position, it needs to be filled right away, so I will
15:34be making my final decision after I've spoken with you both.
15:37Uh, now, who is first?
15:39Oh, that would be me.
15:40I think you will see that I am the perfect candidate for this role.
15:43Excellent.
15:43Follow me, Ms. Jenkins.
15:44Okay.
15:47Good luck.
15:52Thank you so much, Mr. Franklin.
15:54I mean, I know my resume speaks for itself.
15:56Of course, Ms. Jenkins.
15:57Thank you for coming in.
15:59Uh, Ms. Anderson, are you ready?
16:02Absolutely.
16:03Thank you, sir.
16:09Oh, Mr. Franklin, thanks so much for having me in today.
16:12Well, thank you very much for coming in.
16:14Uh, and you have a very fascinating life story.
16:18Well, nobody's ever said that to me before.
16:22Thank you very much for coming in, both of you.
16:24After speaking with you, I believe I have the perfect idea of the candidate that I'd like
16:28to hire.
16:30Thank you so much.
16:31I, I can't wait to start working here.
16:33Actually, Ms. Jenkins, I was going to offer the position to Mrs. Anderson.
16:39Wait, you're, you're telling me I didn't get the job?
16:41That is correct.
16:43I believe Mrs. Anderson has the perfect qualities for this position.
16:47What?
16:48She's so old.
16:49She didn't even go to college.
16:51You know that I went to Harvard University, right?
16:53Graduated top of my class.
16:54That may be.
16:56But, Mrs. Anderson has a plethora of real life experiences that we value at our company
17:01very much.
17:02We have a lot of very talented, young, well-educated workers.
17:07But I believe it's time to have a little adult supervision.
17:11Yeah.
17:12Okay.
17:12Yeah.
17:12Funny joke, guys.
17:13But, um, we can move on now.
17:16Actually, if I may be honest with you, Ms. Jenkins, it is because of your attitude that you will
17:21not be hired in this company.
17:22In the future, when you interview for other positions, I recommend a modicum of humility.
17:27This is insane.
17:29Your company is going straight into the ground with hiring practices like this.
17:33I will take my chances.
17:35Goodbye, Ms. Jenkins.
17:37Whatever.
17:38Your company stinks anyway.
17:44Well, congratulations, Mrs. Anderson.
17:46Welcome aboard.
17:47How soon can you start?
17:48Well, how about right now?
17:50Excellent.
17:51I will show you to your office.
17:53Oh, boy.
17:54Follow me.
17:55An office.
17:59Wow.
18:00Just wow.
18:01That has got to be the best carbonara I have ever had.
18:05Thank you, ma'am.
18:06I've been cooking it for years.
18:08Well, clearly.
18:09I mean, that was just delicious.
18:11Let me take a look at your application here.
18:16Wait a minute.
18:16It says here that you spent time in jail.
18:18Yes, ma'am.
18:19That's true.
18:21But I was arrested several years ago and recently just got out.
18:25And, you know, the person who I was back then was just much dumber and younger.
18:29And I'm totally different now.
18:31It was actually in jail that I actually...
18:33Hold up.
18:34Hold up.
18:34Let me stop you right there.
18:35This is a very high class, prestigious restaurant.
18:39One of the best in the city.
18:40And unfortunately, we can't have ex-convicts in our kitchen.
18:44I understand.
18:45But I really hope you give me a chance.
18:47Ugh, give me a break.
18:49I mean, how can I know that I could even trust you?
18:51How do I know you haven't been stealing things while you're here?
18:54Ma'am, the person who I was when I committed that crime is entirely different than who I am now.
18:59For several years, I've been growing up, maturing, and I'm just trying my hardest to become a productive member of
19:04society.
19:05Well, you can be a productive member of society somewhere else.
19:08People don't change.
19:10They just don't.
19:11Okay?
19:11So get out of my restaurant before I call the police and have them arrest you again.
19:18Yes, ma'am.
19:19I'll go.
19:21But I really do hope you reconsider.
19:32Oh!
19:32Hey, Debbie.
19:33Oh, you saw the new applicant today.
19:36Yes, I did.
19:37And how was he?
19:38Well, his carbonara was the best I've ever had.
19:41That's wonderful!
19:43Yeah, not exactly.
19:44I took a look at his application and it turns out that he has a criminal record.
19:48He spent five years in jail.
19:50I mean, I don't even know how that happened.
19:52Like, I don't know how he got through the screening process.
19:54But anyway, don't worry about it.
19:56I kept an eye on him as he was leaving to make sure he didn't steal anything.
20:00But you did just say that his carbonara was the best you've ever tasted, yes?
20:05Yes, but Mr. Smith, he has a criminal record.
20:11Okay.
20:12Well, Debbie, let me tell you a little something about myself.
20:19Many years ago, I was arrested and convicted of robbery.
20:26And I spent three years in prison.
20:28Oh my goodness, Mr. Smith, I had no idea that you spent time in jail.
20:32I mean, you just don't strike me as that kind of a person at all.
20:35You see, people can change.
20:39I came out of prison a completely different person than I was going in.
20:43To this day, I still teach a class at the local prison on how to cook.
20:48Because I believe that when these prisoners come out of jail, they should have the skills to become productive members
20:54of society.
20:55But there's no way a person can become a productive member of society if they are not given a chance.
21:01And once you've done your time, you can't live the rest of your life in the shadows.
21:05Mr. Smith, I have to be completely honest with you.
21:09I'm really saddened that you didn't tell me about your background.
21:12I don't know that I feel comfortable working for a felon.
21:18Well, Debbie, you actually don't have to work for a felon.
21:22But I will say that I do think that I've been a pretty fair and decent boss to you.
21:27Yeah, you have.
21:28But I just don't think people can change that easily.
21:30I just don't.
21:32I mean, I bet you're hiding something, aren't you, Mr. Smith?
21:35I'm sorry, what are you saying?
21:36I mean, is this like a front for some illegal, something illegal?
21:40Like, are you selling drugs?
21:42Hey, alright, Debbie, stop.
21:43Right there.
21:44Um, I refuse to be spoken to in that manner in my own restaurant.
21:49I think that you should get your things and go.
21:54Here, in my restaurant, we treat people with kindness and dignity and respect.
22:00Okay.
22:00Whatever.
22:10Edgar, what are you doing here?
22:13Mr. Smith?
22:14What a nice surprise.
22:18When did you get out?
22:19A few weeks, actually.
22:21And, you know, I've been trying to put your cooking skills to use.
22:24I actually just had an interview at this restaurant.
22:26So you were the applicant this morning.
22:30I heard it didn't go so well.
22:32Wait, how do you know that?
22:34Well, Edgar, this is my restaurant.
22:38And that woman who you spoke to earlier, she's no longer with us.
22:42So, are you still interested in a job?
22:46Yes, yes, of course.
22:48Thank you so much for taking a chance on me.
22:50I'm not taking a chance at all.
22:52I have seen your skills close up.
22:54So, how about this?
22:56You'll be here tomorrow morning, 8 a.m. for your first day of work.
23:00Yeah?
23:01Yes, Chef.
23:09Hi, may I help you?
23:11I'm supposed to be interviewed for the store director position, but it's five minutes past my time.
23:16I've got places to be.
23:17Yes, sorry.
23:19I'm just wrapping up an email here.
23:20I'll be right with you in a second.
23:22Okay, but, like, the interview was scheduled for five minutes ago.
23:27You're right.
23:28Why don't you please take a seat, and I'll be right with you.
23:36All right, so, Miss?
23:39Chloe Goldberg.
23:42Um, okay, Miss Goldberg it is.
23:46Yeah, so how long do you think this will take?
23:48I have places to be.
23:49Well, I suppose it depends on how long our conversation goes.
23:53It looks like you're here today to interview for a management position.
23:57Is that right?
23:58Um, yeah.
23:59I'm here for the store director position that was posted for the location on Rodeo Drive.
24:04Let me see.
24:06Ah, yes.
24:07The assistant store director for the luxury shop.
24:11Do you happen to have a copy of your resume with you by any chance?
24:14That won't be necessary.
24:15How come?
24:17Um, everything I need is inside of this.
24:20Uh-huh.
24:20I have, like, this photographic memory, so I don't see a point in bringing your resume.
24:25I remember everything anyways.
24:26Mm-hmm.
24:27I see.
24:28Well, I still think it would be a good thing to physically see the positions you've been in.
24:33I think we maybe could have a copy laying around here from when you have applied.
24:38Let's see.
24:39I told you that won't be necessary.
24:42All right, well, let me start off by asking you the following.
24:45What is your experience when it comes to customer service and dealing with tricky customers and employees?
24:52I used to work in high fashion stores, and there'd be plenty of customers coming in and out, and I
24:56had to deal with all of them.
24:57Um, I would say as long as the customers and employees don't ask any stupid questions, they won't get stupid
25:02answers.
25:02Okay.
25:04Um, so why do you want to work for our particular brand?
25:10Um, I love that it's expensive and the way it makes me feel to be surrounded by luxury.
25:15Hmm.
25:15Um, and why did you pick this particular location?
25:20Hello, it's Rodeo Drive.
25:22Only the best of the best can shop here in Beverly Hills.
25:25Okay.
25:27Well, I see on your resume that you've been in quite a lot of different positions over a short period
25:34of time.
25:35It also seems that you dealt more with customers rather than employees.
25:40So since you're applying for a higher position, how would you approach the managing aspect of being an assistant store
25:46director?
25:47I mean, I've seen my previous managers take on most of the work of the directors, and if they could
25:52do it, I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard.
25:54Besides, store directors only pop in once in a while, and I'm pretty sure I have plenty of time to
25:58come up with solutions.
25:59I pretty much already know what I'm supposed to do.
26:01Alright.
26:03So what do you offer to the company that can make it better?
26:06Oh my god, how many more questions?
26:08Is all this really necessary?
26:10You do know who I am, right?
26:11Excuse me?
26:12I'm sorry, I don't think I understand.
26:14You do realize that I'm the daughter of Jeffrey Goldberg from Goldberg Industries, right?
26:20Um, I'm sorry, I still don't see how that's relevant to this interview.
26:24Well, clearly my dad has the money and connections that have allowed me to be immersed in this world of
26:29high-end fashion.
26:30No one is more experienced with it than I am, so can we just get to signing the contracts already?
26:35Okay, well, we strive for everyone to have a fair chance at the positions that we list,
26:40and we want to make sure people are the right fit for our company before we hire them.
26:45Ugh.
26:47Yeah, sure, whatever.
26:49Whatever works to make sure legal is taken care of, right?
26:52We all know the hiring process is based on connections.
26:54I do see you've been employed by a lot of established companies, but I don't really think that the role
27:02you're applying for will suit you.
27:04What do you mean?
27:05With your current experience, I would say you're more suited for a sales employee position.
27:11But I want to be the store director.
27:13That's very ambitious, but I don't think that's the proper role for you.
27:17Why would I want to do any other position where I have to do double the work for half the
27:22pay?
27:22I'm not going to step down from what I want just to become the manager's little retail worker.
27:26Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, but I can see now that this is not going to work out.
27:32But I'm a perfect fit for the director's position.
27:34Look, I can give you my father's number, and I'm sure you guys can work something out.
27:39Thank you so much for coming in, Ms. Goldberg, but we're really looking for someone that's more aligned with our
27:44values.
27:45Thank you for coming in.
27:47What?
27:48Fine, you know what?
27:49Whatever.
27:50This place sucks anyway.
27:58Hi, honey.
28:02Whoa, what did that laptop do to you?
28:06I'm just trying to find a stupid job since that lady didn't want to give me that director position.
28:11Yeah, I received a call a couple days after that.
28:13They told me how the interview went.
28:14It was so stupid.
28:16She asked me so many unnecessary questions.
28:18Why couldn't they just give me the job?
28:19Honey, you're an adult now.
28:21You have to start looking at life seriously.
28:23I'm not always going to be here, and I really feel like you need to find your own place.
28:26But I don't need to.
28:27I'm your daughter.
28:29Chloe, you need to stop with this entitled behavior.
28:31Money doesn't fall from trees, you know.
28:33Of course they wouldn't find you a good fit when you don't even want to work to actually prepare and
28:36present yourself well for the interview.
28:38I feel like I presented myself fine.
28:40It's not my fault they didn't appreciate me.
28:42Chloe, please.
28:44Confidence is key, but it has to come out of a place of genuine interest for the job.
28:48But, Dad...
28:49I started with nothing and built my company up from scratch.
28:52Success doesn't come in just one day.
28:54Surely you see that.
28:54I know, I know.
28:56You worked really hard to get where you are.
28:57Back when I was applying for jobs, to even get a starting position was very difficult.
29:01There were so many people that were eager to work that I had got very competitive.
29:05I couldn't find any of the positions I wanted, so I took the role of a janitor.
29:08That was my first job.
29:09What? You were a janitor? That's so embarrassing.
29:12There's nothing embarrassing about it.
29:14I had a family to take care of, and that helped us get on our feet.
29:17It eventually led to better opportunities, and I was able to save a bit on the side and invest in
29:21some stocks.
29:22Stocks are easy money, too. Maybe I should do that.
29:25That's not the point. The stocks were just a temporary investment that helped me get a little extra money to
29:29start my own actual business.
29:31Right, but what does this have to do with me?
29:33What I'm trying to teach you is that hard work, honesty, and humility will take you much farther in life
29:38than any connections possibly can.
29:40It took me a long time to get to where I am now, and I want to share those lessons
29:43with you.
29:44So why can't I just take over your position?
29:46Because I got to where I am through hard work. I think it's time for you to learn the same.
29:51Well, how can I do that if no one wants to hire me?
29:53I've been trying for two whole weeks now.
29:55I was going to talk to you about that. As a last resort, I have managed to pull in a
29:59favor and get you a job that will actually teach you some good values.
30:02What is it?
30:03It's a waitressing job. I know the owner, and she'd be more than happy to have a helping hand.
30:08Waitressing? Seriously?
30:10It's a place to start, and I think a great opportunity for you to learn some important life lessons.
30:14Yeah, I guess so. Thanks, Dad.
30:23What do you think so?
30:25How can I get a little bit more of you?
30:25Now it's time to focus.
30:26I'm not like a little bit more than you have to get your thoughts, but I think that's the point
30:26here.
30:26I'm the owner, and I'm the owner.
30:26And I'll be here.
30:26I'm the owner.
