The ad in the paper caught her eye, Secretary needed for SAI, a growing artificial intelligence firm call 555 381 2020 ask for Eric for more information and qualifications required."
Erin showed her husband the ad. "Should I apply for the job?"
After reading the ad, Carl said. "You have secretarial and accounting skills what do you have to lose?"
The next morning at nine am Erin called the number, it rang, and a male voice answered. "SAI, Tim speaking how may I direct your call?"
"I would like to speak to Eric about the secretarial position posted." Said Erin
While we are waiting for Eric to answer the phone, I will give you a list of the characters in this tale of fiction.
Erin Mitchell a sixty-year-old, mother with three sons aged twenty-eight to thirty-three. She looks a lot like Diane Keaton. Erin became obsolete when the plastics company she worked for twenty years moved overseas.
Carl Mitchell the Husband is a Car salesperson and a year older than is wife.
Eric Goodman is head of SAI making robotic equipment, Owner of the twenty-man organization.
Tim Jacobs works in the office as a bumbling secretary, goffer but has excellent computer security skills.
A few minutes later the call was answered. "Hi this is Eric and who am I speaking with?"
"This is Erin Mitchell; I am inquiring about the job posted for a secretary. Is the job filled yet?"
"I Have a few interviews lined up with some prospects for the job, but you are welcome to come in for an interview also." Eric lied as there is no one that has applied for the job to date and the ad has been online for over two weeks.
"I would like to apply for the job."
"Ok, I have two interviews this morning, but are you available to come in this afternoon at one? We will discuss the qualifications needed at that time."
"Yes, I can be there."
Erin was happy that she will interview for the job today, as it has been six months of pure panic since she was laid off and her benefits are going to run out soon. Car sales are down as most people have been shopping online for vehicles or to the minimum know what they should pay for a car or truck before they go to the dealers. They use the internet to find the information, thus the purchasers cut the profit margin the dealers can charge if they want the sale.
By eleven am Erin completed all the tasks she had listed on her to do list for today. She had a light lunch, too nervous to have a full meal. When she looked at the clock, she realized she had just enough time to take a shower and get dressed for her interview. After her shower, Erin slipped on a black skirt that came to her knee, white blouse, a jacket to match the skirt over a white bra and panties set. She slipped on black three-inch heels to complete the outfit. Erin didn't put on pantyhose, because it was too warm, and her legs are tan to give the illusion of nylons covering her legs.
The trip to the place of the interview was in a building that she worked, and it was mothballed after her former employer left the city. SAI picked up the lease for the office-factory building to start the business five months ago. Eric is thirty years old, a mechanical engineer and inventor. When she walked into the offices the smell and equipment were the same. Erin felt like she was home and all the stress related to this interview left her.
Erin walked to the desk in reception, the one she sat at many times, she saw the name plate on the desk and said. "Hi Tim, my name is Erin Mitchell here to see Eric."
"Yes, I remember the name Mrs. Mitchell. I will get Eric for you." The young man said who looked to be in his twenties, while he gave the older woman a once over and did not do it covertly. He then smiled at her, he turned red when he realized he was caught, as he took in her mature beauty.
While we are waiting for Eric, a little more information about Erin, who is very conservative by nature. She is five foot nine tall with small breast at thirty-two c, that embarrass her, but her husband loves, the remainder of her figure is twenty-eight, and thirty-six. Erin has black hair with grey highlights, just off her shoulders, and sparkling green eyes when she is happy and dark green eyes when she is angry. All in all, she presents a very pleasing appearance that belies her age, she looks at least ten years younger.
It was a few minutes that Erin stood by the desk, which seemed like an hour. Eric came through the door at the rear of the desk and Erin could see he was pleasantly surprised by her appearance.
With a big smile on his face Eric greeted Erin. "Hi Mrs. Mitchell, I am very happy to meet you."
"It is a pleasure to meet you also Mr. Goodman." Erin said as she extended her hand over the desk to shake his.
"Let's go to the conference room to discuss duties of this position with you." They walked to the conference room as they talked about non-contentious issues, such as the number of children she has, their ages and her husband's employment to break the ice. This also helps Eric get a feel of what her needs will be.
A little about Superior Artificial Intelligence, known as 'SAI' it was started by Eric after he sold the program he designed to find and destroy Malware sent through the internet to computers collecting two billion dollars with the sale. Presently he is designing Robots to work in the medical field with doctors to diagnose diseases that a person may have. It will also be able to give a physical to a patient, thereby relieving most of the embarrassment of having a physical for most people. This was all explained to Erin at the meeting. To give the interviewee a snapshot into SAI's business.
"What we need is someone with secretarial skills to run the office and I see by your resume' you have extensive background in this area along with accounting which will be extremely helpful to us. A little more about our organization, we are employee operated and if we decide to hire you this will be part of your monetary package a piece of the business. As of now our crew consists of twenty-six male associates and we want to hire from now on women to balance out our workforce."
"Do you have any questions for me?"
