Incorrect Understanding Of Words Is Injurious To Health

There are instances in our lives when a very common incident can look extraordinary. It usually happens when we take the literal meaning of words. People who are working, or who have worked or want to work, all need a job. The first step for that is getting a call from a recruiter which is the first step of your working career. And 98% of the recruiters are girls; I must say girls girls everywhere

Have you ever really gone by the words recruiters use, I bet never. Let me take you to the conversation of a candidate who attends the recruiters call for the first time in his life. It is hilarious and reader discretion is required, may have some mature stuff. So, guys here we go:

Recruiter: Good Morning Sir. Is it the right time to talk to you?
Aspirant: Sure, why not?

This is the instance when he feels blessed that a girl wants to talk to him. He always ran after so many to chat with them but without any fortune. He apprehends that completing degree can also change fate. Now, he is on the top of the world.

Recruiter: Sir, we have an opening.
Aspirant: Great, even I am looking for one.

The guy in on cloud 9, he never expected a girl would be so fast to come directly to the main point. He cannot believe this and now, he is more certain.

Recruiter: It is an immediate requirement.
Aspirant: Oh, I can see that.

He feels the girl is really desperate and it is finally his day. Now, he starts imagining and he cannot prevent that.

Recruiter: Can you please brush me through your experience?
Aspirant: Well, errrrrr…………. I am a fresher.

The aspirant doesn’t desire to take any risk. He wants it make it absolutely sure that he doesn’t lie. He does not want the girl to anticipate something from him which he is not capable of. He has learnt to be true, no matter what occurs.

Recruiter: No problem sir, we have opening for freshers only. Can you tell me how immediately you can join, I mean the notice period.
Aspirant: Within a week, no such issues.

The guy wants a week to prepare himself for the important event. He has believed in doing his homework always and he cannot just be blindfolded with his principles.

Recruiter: Can you come down for a personal interview.
Aspirant: Anytime you call me, I am free.

The guy gets conscious now, he realizes that he has to prove himself to make this happen. He is a little anxious and worried currently.

Recruiter: Ok sir, what is the package that you demand. Remember that we can negotiate on that.
Aspirant: What do you mean by that, I think I don’t fit in your category?

The guy is hurt; he feels he has been treated like a plaything. He never thought of people paying for this, he considers of himself as a slave. He is fuming and incensed.

Recruiter: Perfectly fine sir, can you refer some of your friends.
Aspirant: What the hell do you think; I don’t know anyone and you must know it.

The guy cannot see his friends taking this chance. He would rather die than let his friends go for it. He is adamant and says, “If not me, then no one.”

Recruiter: Thank you Sir, It was nice talking to you. Have a great day
Aspirant: Bye (with a loud anguish tone)

He felt hurt that night and blamed it all on the changing society that leads girls and guys to behave like this.

But now, after a few years he laughs at himself and doesn’t miss the opportunity to share it with everyone he knows. I must say ‘guts’ man.

According to Mamkol, “Explain what you imply by right, I might amply it as write”.
