Launching Your Career
Tom lived in a grand estate and he was employed as an accountant. His employer was a greedy entrepreneur who often supervised him and spied on him like a detective.Tom also served as a receptionist, helping attend to many urgent affairs.Though Tom dedicated himself to his work which he always gave his first priority to,he was still accused and treated unfairly. Feeling no justice and warmth from his employer, Tom gradually came to a conclusion that he had to resign from the company and seek a new job.With a lawyer qualification certificate in hand, he planned to be a lawyer.
He also showed an aptitude for handwriting and acquired an intermediate level of English, which were a head start to be a good teacher. He once helped manage finances and receipts. Also he was good at geometry and could draw perfect graphics, so he might become a good programmer.With all these scenarios bouncing around in his head, Tom immediately rose to his feet and assembled his stuff in a chest of drawers.Then he wrote a resume and submitted it to another company. Tom firmly believed that he would orient himself to a new job.
