Script #9 The Job Interview




Ryan walks into the office escorted by Ms. Jane Njeri
He proceeds to head to the only empty chair in the room after staring at it briefly.

Mr Nganga: How are you Ryan?
Ryan: Fine. Very fine sir.
Mr Nganga: My name is Mr Nganga and I will be taking you through this interview. So firstly tell me about yourself.
Ryan: Well I don’t where to start. I’m a 22 year old graduate from Strathmore University
Mr Nganga: We know that its in your CV
Ryan: Right…
Mr Gichuru: Tell us why we should pick you. What’s so different about you.

Ryan is caught off guard  by the suddenness of the question and smiles nervously.

Ryan: Well I am passionate about graphics… about Art in general. I used to do it when I was a child. But more importantly, I have a distinct style.
Mr. Gichuru: Do you have examples of your kind of style you might want to show us?
Ryan: I sent them to you along with my C.V.
Mr. Gichuru: Well, I don’t seeme to have them here. Do you have them Mr. Nganga?
Mr Nganga shakes his head to confirm he too does  not have them.
Ryan: But they were in the envelope I sent with my C.V
Mr Gichuru (smiling): Ok we will follow it up. Do you have something artistic you can do right now to show us this brilliant artistic nature of yours? … anything at all?

Ryan then pauses with sweat already trickling onto his forehead. He then slowly reaches into his briefcase and pulls out a paper and a pen. He starts to draw Mr. Nganga’s face. Just as he makes it halfway through the portrait, Mr Gichuru interrupts him

Mr Gichuru: Let me have a look at that.

Ryan pushes over the piece of paper to Mr. Gichuru.

Mr Gichuru: What do you think Nganga?

Mr Nganga pauses for a while and assesses the picture before responding…

Mr Nganga: I think we have ourselves an artist
Mr Gichuru: And I think you have yourself a job.
