Chapter 322 – Episode 322

I’m scared to come back home.

Choi Do-jin rubbed her shoulder and called someone.

-Yes, hello.

“Brother!”

-What is it, Dojin? Why? What did you call about?

“No, bro. Do you know who I met at the study group today? Ha, it’s so absurd?”

-What? I’m like this because I met someone.

Choi Do-jin said that just as she had spread malicious rumors about Kim Hyun-woo through the Internet, she adapted the story to her advantage.

“I’ve been looking into it since I was working a crappy part-time job at a convenience store. If you’re a computer engineering major at Woongin University, don’t you know your brother? “It’s the same department at the same school.”

-Oh, that bastard? We’re not close, but we know each other. It’s been a while since I last saw you at a wedding. It’s been since I graduated from college, but I still feel like a kid. Santi I brought her girlfriend in without her hearing and gave her a tight squeeze on her neck. She really pretended like nothing was wrong in front of him and was considerate, but I had a hard time too.

Choi Do-hyung, Choi Do-jin’s older brother and Kim Hyun-woo’s college classmate, asked with a sneer.

-So, with what specifications does that kid apply to UL Soft?

“What was that? “I have worked at Mintrain for about 3 months, have a TOEIC score of 770, and have a diploma from Woongin University.”

At that moment, laughter erupted from the other side of the phone.

-Wow, it’s still the same, that bastard. He doesn’t have the slightest conscience. Are you saying you want to join ULSoft with this kind of qualifications? As a developer or programmer?

“If you have qualifications like that, didn’t you also graduate from Woongin University?”

-Dojin, you didn’t join this company because you liked school.

Choi Do-hyung spoke in a triumphant voice.

-I came here because I liked people.

If it had been anyone else, he would have made an expression of bewilderment, but Choi Do-jin, who had grown up under such an older brother since he was young, continued to express his admiration with bright eyes.

-Use it, it won’t work. As a programmer working at ULSoft, I should give my younger brother strength, right?

“Brother!”

-Boss, don’t be too impressed. It’s my brother.

Choi Do-hyung asked in a meaningful voice.

-So, when is the next study group date?

Looking at it now, my resume was really shabby.

Educational background, experience, skills, and even certifications have the power to make you tilt your head. No, I already said that the only skills and qualifications I have been a driver’s license and a level 2 computer skills.

Although I listed my experience as 3 months, it actually only lasted 2 months.

Although it is said that a person’s true worth cannot be confirmed with just such a resume, it is true that it is an important criterion for interviewers.

“Sweet, do you think 1 year and 6 months of part-time work at a convenience store can be counted as experience? I have been doing this work for over a year and have encountered many difficult situations, but I have never quit and have continued to do so. If you elect me, I will work like a dog, no, like a cow. “My actual physical strength is as good as that of a cow.”

[What is your personality?]

[How do you resolve a conflict with a colleague or superior?]

[How do you manage stress?]

As I looked at these personality interview questions and came up with appropriate answers, I stroked my chin.

Didn’t you just give a pretty good answer?

“It seems a bit cheap. An answer like that would be too much for the interviewer’s taste. However, it is important not to overdo it, but to speak appropriately and plainly.”

Before she could enjoy the self-praise for even a second, Aebom, who was writing a novel next to her, pointed it out to her.
I cleared my throat and nodded at her.

“Yes. “I will correct it.”

“In the end, the most important thing is to be liked by the interviewers. Over the course of that day, interviewers will encounter hundreds of applicants. Because you cannot control the interview order as you wish. So that Hyunwoo’s intentions can be conveyed clearly no matter when the interview takes place. You shouldn’t give too many abrupt answers, and you shouldn’t include too many unnecessary stories.”

“Surely…”

In fact, these are the basic interview facts that are also available on YouTube, but it was much more helpful to have someone talk to me rather than just watching the video.

[Explain the concept of stack.]

[What is object pooling?]

In addition to the personality interview, I answered the technical interview questions one by one.

There were quite a few concepts that I hadn’t seen in a while, so I forgot them, but I guess I studied harder than I thought. I was able to answer most things on the spot.

“In fact, in the case of technical interviews, all you have to do is memorize the correct answers, but surprisingly, there are quite a few people who fail there. No matter how hard you prepare, there are many people who cannot answer properly when the interviewer in front of them asks a question.”

“What do you do with people like that?”

“It would have to be a terrible effort, right? So much so that even when my hair turns completely white, I can reflexively come up with the right answer. Either that or get used to interviews.”

That also applied to me.

I felt this way while listening to the specifications of the people who participated in the study group today. There was no one who was better than I.

‘The more I become an adult, the more I feel it.’

Are they all the same?

Absolutely not. In particular, the older you get, the more clearly people are divided into classes.

‘Even if I were the interviewer, I would want to be eliminated from the document.’

In another way, wouldn’t the interviewer be surprised?

What is this guy? With these grades and this kind of experience, you confidently applied to UL Soft? This guy doesn’t even need an interview. Just get eliminated!

… Wouldn’t it be said?

‘Wow, it’s even more creepy because it’s not a completely unlikely story.’

It really would have been like that in the past.

After listening to a person from the former HR team who left the company, if the number of people who applied was too large, they created an Excel file and calculated the scores for each university, each certificate, etc.

It was said that anyone who falls below the standard score set by the company will be disqualified without even looking at their resume.

These days, it may be because there are quite a few successful examples of talented people eliminated in that way, but they say they still look at resumes… This wasn’t certain either.

‘Ha, what if I fail the actual document?’

What can I do?

Just peg it on the mint train. That wasn’t necessarily a bad thing either. It’s difficult to say it’s the best result, but…

* * *

Next study group meeting day.

I, who had prepared harder than anyone else, even using ‘low-level speed reading skills’, couldn’t help but feel doubtful in the morning.

Today again, he was late as always, he was the only one wearing civilian clothes, and he didn’t even fill out half of the response sheets for the materials that Chae-yeon Park had distributed. Choi Do-jin can be seen with strangely strong neck.

‘Wow, he’s crazy.’

At this point, I get goosebumps.

Park Chae-yeon, who had put Choi Do-jin down so badly during the last study group, had a similar expression to me. So, it’s the face of a crazy person.

“I really wasn’t going to say something like this. “You have social problems.”

Everyone in the study group nods at Chae-yeon Park’s words. Only Choi Do-jin shows opposition.

“It’s probably you and that person who have social problems. “Is there anyone else with as good social skills as me?”

“…”

Isn’t this really like listening to a small ear or talking to a wall? What’s astounding is that people like Choi Do-jin who lack social skills are the only ones who don’t know that they are strange. That’s why he was able to do crazy things without any hesitation.
Usually, the guys that appeared on the main news were people like Choi Do-jin.

“Now, everyone, listen. Today, I personally invited my older brother, who works at ULSoft, for you all.”

“… “What?”

I saw Park Chae-yeon’s eyes widen. It was clear that she had not been consulted in advance.
People around me were also embarrassed. These are natural reactions when an uninvited person suddenly arrives. Only Choi Do-jin didn’t know this obvious thing.

“Everyone, don’t be too nervous. My brother is a perfect person. So, I proudly entered ULSoft and worked as a programmer.”

It’s not that I’m nervous, it’s just that it’s ridiculous.

“Ha, fuck. “This guy really makes me spin.”

Wow, that’s an expression I haven’t heard in a really long time. I didn’t know that would come out of Park Chae-yeon’s mouth.

Park Chae-yeon even openly grabbed Choi Do-jin by the collar.

“Hey, you proceeded with it on your own without even discussing it with me, the group leader? Are you going to work like that at your company?”

“W-what, what are you talking about? Of course, at work, you should first report it to your boss… Ji! “You are not my boss.”

“But I’m the one in charge of this study group! Then you should have consulted with me first! I think it will be helpful to everyone, so I asked if I could invite my brother, who is attending UL Soft, on this day! “I should have asked first!”

“Oh, okay… Say. So, hey, let go and talk about it. It will be okay from next time… “Nya.”

I don’t think I will keep it again next time.

Park Chae-yeon also seemed to think so, as she clenched and unclenched her fist for a moment. I can see from the side how many conflicts were going on in my head for just a moment.

“Cold, cold… Fuck, I’m sad. It’s something everyone said was good anyway, so there’s no reason to react like this. “If you get accepted into the company with my help, you’ll just shut your mouth and say you don’t know me.”

Well. Unless you give us the first prize in the lottery, I think you’ll say I don’t know about most things.

That’s how unlucky it is.

I was hoping that this guy’s older brother would be normal, but if he thought about it, he couldn’t possibly be like that.
If not, will there be smoke in the chimney?

Because there was a cause, the crazy result that was Choi Do-jin came out. And, my prediction was exactly right.

“Nice to meet you, everyone. My name is Dohyung Choi, and I have been working at ULSoft for about two years. And, Hyunwoo and I are classmates from the same school and department.”

I never would have guessed that it was Choi Do-hyung and not anyone else.

The last time I met him was at my senior’s wedding in April. Almost half a year had already passed since then. For some reason, I couldn’t remember.

Unlike Choi Do-jin, he has a clean-looking face, decent height and body, and finally, a personable smile.

People who are deceived by this are starting to appear one after another, but I can see it with my own eyes. Who is Choi Do-hyung looking at that makes him feel so happy?

“Actually, I was so busy that it wasn’t easy for me to find time. My friend here said he had a motive. “It was really difficult to find time to come here.”

It was me.

Choi Do-hyung spoke confidently in his characteristic arrogant voice.

“Because I came here like this, you can think that your employment is guaranteed. I’ve only worked at ULSoft for two years, but I’ve already taken control of the company. These days, my team and I are at a point where work can’t proceed without me. “I really don’t know what to do.”

He adds a little wink.

“For your information, I will be substituting for you soon.”

Even if I succeeded in getting a job at ULSoft, I felt like I would suddenly throw up because I thought that that guy would be my boss.

It was then that, for the first time in a very long time, a quest window appeared in front of my eyes.
