Six Sentence Story: Pool


Generated by AI

“Are you serious,” Sam said, “are you seriously expecting me to interview every single person from this enormous pool of applicant?”

When Sam’s boss – the head of human resource – forwarded him a link containing all the applicants’ resume and applications, Sam almost fainted, “30 people applied for this crummy job, adios mio, are people this desperate that they are even willing to do such work?”

“I’ve seen you do miracles, Sam,” his boss said, “I’m sure you will be able to find a good one even in a pool of 100 candidates.”

Day after day, interview after interview, with some headaches, long days, and effort, Sam got the pool down to a list of five. He was at the point where he didn’t want to interview another candidate, part of him wanted to pin the applications on the wall, shut his eyes, and see where the dart would land. “The heart knows what it wants, right?”
