He had slaved away in the finance industry for fourteen years, yet he had only two companies listed on his resume. The first position actually entailed close supervision as a new graduate. Billy definitely would have to describe that experience differently without blatantly obfuscating the truth. Unequivocally, he couldn’t allude to assuming managerial duties with either position, as a potential employer would contact the companies to confirm the fallacy. Admittedly, since Cheryl’s ruthless dismissal, he had no ambition to feign anything. Moreover, it would now be impossible to use her as a reference, Simon’s new contact information was unknown , the boss of Saunder’s and Finch had retired and investigating Alberto’s exodus to Latin America was irrational.
Having zero employer references was arguably a quandary. Billy contemplated listing another associate remaining at JC Stanley’s Denver branch. Unfortunately, his access to the company database had been disconnected Tuesday, along with access to his company cell phone and laptop. While he had interacted with some of the branch staff during company events, interstate conferences and lunchroom banter, he never forged any real connections with them. He was racking his brain about who he could contact now. The belligerent reaction from his contact Stephen discouraged him from just talking to anyone.
Plummeting self-confidence isn’t conducive with job seeking. Billy wished he could just saunter down the street, like Josh who had confiscated his kaleidoscope earlier. Perhaps, Josh’s parents’ divorce hadn’t being as deleterious as he presumed. Irrefutably, the aftermath of divorce wasn’t always negative. While many people lamented that divorce destroyed their families, Billy knew a few people who thrived after it.
One of these people was Adrianna. Adrianna had been one of the women in his finance program at MIT. Prior to commencement of a business degree at MIT, she had completed an undergraduate degree in biology from Duke University. he was several years older than Billy. He couldn’t fathom how a biology degree and a business degree were connected. Yet, Adrianna non-chalantly remarked that she had always enjoyed concurrent studies in both disciplines, since high school.
Her parents had divorced her senior year, after they moved to Michigan Although Adrianna admitted that their ‘fighting was so incessant that divorce always seemed inevitable.’ She insisted that her parents had been prolonging a divorce for years because a host of erroneous conservative-based research underscored that children of divorced parents are less successful than children who have married parents.
