    Jamila saw a job posting online for a local bakery assistant on the website Indeed. She has been looking for a job for 3 months. This job posting caught their eye right away as Jamila loves baking at home and this would be a great opportunity. Jamila immediately filled out the online application and attached their resume and cover letter. Two weeks later, Jamila received an email from the bakery asking to come in for an interview. Jamila needed to choose an interview date of either Wednesday the 15th or Thursday the 16th; she was so excited she emailed back right away and chose Wednesday. When the interview date arrived, Jamila was very nervous. She wanted to do really well for the interview and impress the manager, so she brought in homemade brownies to show off some of her skills. Jamila was so overwhelmed with excitement for the interview and busy making the brownies, she had forgotten to practice some common interview questions and responses. Thankfully, Jamila had excellent responses to the interview questions and mostly chatted about her love of baking with the manager. The manager felt that Jamila was passionate about baking and could see that she wanted to learn more about working in a bakery. Jamila got the job and will start work next Monday.
