Agnes was indeed on the hunt for a job from major newspapers, news agencies, traditional media to television stations. She was aiming for positions in journalism and reporting.
With her years of experience in Manhattan, her resume received immediate responses.
Agnes was invited for interviews at numerous companies. She was well-received everywhere she went, but Agnes herself was having trouble choosing, weighing the options between new media and traditional media.
Eventually, Agnes decided to join a television station.
With her qualifications, she could easily have applied for departmental leadership.
But Agnes doesn't enjoy managerial work. She likes being on the front lines of news.
Interviewing, investigating, writing, and revealing the truth were her preferred tasks.
On her first day of work, Agnes was assigned to the News Department.
The News Department had just started a new segment called "The Primary Perspective".
They were in dire need of staff, and she was just right for the job as a reporter. This was almost identical to her former work, always on the front lines, reporting the truth as soon as possible.
In the morning, Hans from Human Resources took her on a tour of the station and its various departments.
When they reached the News Department, Hans said, "This is where you'll be working, that's your desk. Bring your stuff over in the afternoon. Then report to the director's office. She'll assign you some tasks."
Agnes nodded. She tidied up her desk a bit, exchanged greetings with her colleagues. Then, with her induction report in hand, she went to the director's office.
