I Interview My Ex Boss | Learn English Through Story Level 1 | English Bedtime Story The man waiting outside my office had no idea who I was. Five years earlier, he had laughed at me during a job interview. He looked at my shoes. He joked about my family and dropped my resume into the trash while I still sat right there. I walked out of that building feeling like I had no value. Now his resume lay on my desk, and I had the power to decide whether he got another job. His name was Barton Price. My name is Delia Navarro, and I was the human resources director at Northline Cycles. I had imagined this moment for years. Now I was afraid. My assistant, Leni Park, knocked lightly. “Your ten o'clock interview is here already,” she said. “He's twenty minutes early.” I asked her to have him wait. Leni stayed at the door. “Are you feeling okay? You look pale.” I said I was fine, but my hands were cold. I stood by the window and looked at my black shoes. They were comfortable and fitted perfectly. Five years ago, I had worn a different pair to meet Barton. They belonged to my mother and were two sizes too big. I had filled the toes with folded paper so they would stay on. He had noticed them immediately. Back then I was twenty-five and had just finished college. I shared a small apartment with two other women and worked evenings at a grocery store. My father repaired cars in New Mexico, and my mother cleaned classrooms at a public school. They had worked hard to help me study, but they had no money to spare. I was the first person in our family to earn a college degree. I believed a degree would open doors. Instead, most of my applications received no answer. I sent out more than seventy before Parkford Insurance invited me to meet their regional sales director. ⏲ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and The Humiliating Interview 05:50 A Second Chance and Northline Cycles 11:40 The Tables Turn and Barton's Interview 17:30 The Work Trial and The Stolen Idea 23:20 The Confrontation and The Warehouse Job 29:10 Redemption and Moving Forward 🎧 Related English Stories Content You Might Enjoy: Podcast: English Story for Listening    • English Story for Listening   Playlist: English Story for Listening Level 2 (B1/B2)    • English Story for Listening Level 2 (B1/B2)   Thanks a million for sticking with us until the end!
