Josh sifts through the profiles before sliding Jon's resume to the top. "Hmmm, the experience is a plus. Too bad its been three years since he had that job."
Tyler reassures. "Well at least it's easier to train him back to the basics than to start from scratch."
"True, but I sure hope we can use this guy. Don't like telling someone so desperate that we don't need em." With that, he opens his minature door to the interview room to meet his potential new lifeguard.
The one word on that resume is not padded at all. Jon is built like a tank and to Josh, more mountain than man. He certainly is aloof though. He doesn't have the classiest wardrobe and from the look of his thin athletic shorts and running shoes, he must've stopped here after a long jog. His tank top and shorts are stretched over his muscular features. His pecs literally hold up the tank top and stretches it tight over his torso. From the looks of it too, he doesn't look bored. His head rocks back and forth, shaking the long wires of his earbuds leading to his walkman.
Josh resumes his intended purpose as he gets on his miniature elevator to take him in the interviewer's seat. But when the door opens to the top, the doorway is blocked. Apparently Jon has used this seat as a footrest, blocking the way out for his potential boss. Josh sets up his microphone and tries a polite approach.
"Um...Jon...can you please move your feet please so we can start the interview?"
There is no response. Poor Josh can't shout louder than Jon's music. He tries again.
"Please move your feet so we can get started!"
Finally the rubber wall of the sole moves away from the elevator door. He must've had his earbuds pop out or something, but Josh bites his tongue. He looks far more attentive now, scanning the room behind his dark shades for the source of the voice. He has his audience now, relief returns.
"Hello, my name is Josh - the head of the Shrink and Swim. I am here to interview you today."
Jon yanks off his earbuds, still puzzled. "Down here..." Josh guides him so they make eye contact.
"You're pretty small for a boss," Jon's perplexed look remains as he slides off his shades. "Are you like an ant or something?"
"No, I'm just a tiny guy who owns the Shrink and Swim," The interview begins.
