The most important one for Wang Yi-An was the Educational Assistant program. The educational Assistant program is an exclusive benefit for their employees; Yang Corp would pay 100% of the employee’s tuition fee, as well as book fees, supplies, equipment, etc. There is also a wage while you are in school! Yang Corp would pay an hourly wage for their employees to go to school! What other companies would do this? That only Yang Corps would!
Wang Yi-An desperately wanted the internship. A direct application of employment to Yang Corps was a bit far-fetch because they required high experiences and educations. There were hundreds of students applying for the internship program. As for Wang Yi-An she had been hoping for this day for a while. After suffering three years of full-time school during the day, while working at her part-time job at night. Life had been strenuous for Wang Yi-An. Even so, she still worked hard as soon as she had enough credentials to apply for the internship, she did so immediately.
The Yang Corps internship program is three months long. Afterwards, they would usually give their interns a letter of an employment offer. Unless the student rejects it, or that the student has not reached their expectations during the three month period; however, that would be a rare case.
The anticipation kept Wang Yi-An nervous, and she would fidget with her fingers, as she remains seated on the chair, quietly in the waiting room along with twenty others. She had her eyes closed for a moment, so she could relax and calm herself down from the anxiety.
Wang Yi-An took a deep breath, and each interviewee would take about 15 to 30 minutes to complete their interview process. Wang Yi-An arrived an hour before her scheduled interview time. Her interview was supposed to be at 2:30 PM, but she was already there before 1:30 PM.
The time soon hit 2:30 PM and a female member of the staff called out her name. “Wang Yi-An, your interview is in room 2.” After she informed Wang Yi-An, she showed her the way to room 2 and said with a smile, “Good luck.” and then she opened the door for Wang Yi-An as soon as she heard the voice from inside the room.
As the assistant shout out “Next please!”, The door opened up, and the previous interviewee walked out. Then Wang Yi-An walked in, with a bright smile on her face. She wasn’t nervous anymore, and she was just as excited as she was from the night before this interview. Working for the Yang Corporation was a big dream of hers, with this interview she would pave a path filled with hope for her and her family.
“Hello, My name is Wang Yi-An, a lot of people call me Xiao-An or An-An. It’s a pleasure to meet with you all!” she said in an excited voice, and she lowered her head down to greet them.
There was a total of three hiring manager. In the middle was Assistant Tseng Kuan-Yin. He had taken President Yang’s spot in today’s interviews. It wasn’t rare for Yang Corps to have their president do personal interviews. It often happens when the positions of the interns are essential for the company's development. Yang Tian-Xu would personally attend. Nevertheless, today he couldn’t make it, he was currently busy having a meal with Tong Yue-Yan.
The three hiring manager nodded their heads, and the hiring manager on the right side speak up. “It’s a pleasure to meet you too, please take a seat.”
She sat down and looked at them with a smile on her face. The first person to ask the question regarding her credentials was the manager on the right. He did most of the talking. Of course, Wang Yi-An has credentials. She had taken an Art program for two years, as well as some managing courses.
She hopes to become an Art Director, the position she wanted to obtain in the future within Yang Corps is a very high paying job. As part of the Marketing and Advertisement department, there are plenty of hours.
As the Art Director, they are an essential role in development for promotions, commercials, and Yang Corps Events. The entire interview went well, and Wang Yi-An was confident in her arts because she had already submitted them to her portfolio, it was the reason why they selected her for the interview.
Even though they knew all, they needed to know about her, and her abilities they still need to ask her some questions such as, “Why have you picked Yang Corps for your internship? There were many options as well.”
“Yang Corps has the best benefits.” She replied honestly.
“You know Pan Holding’s Inc has good benefits too,” said the manager on the left. Wang Yi-An didn’t think before she said, “But I like Yang Corps better.”
They smiled, and Assistant Tseng asked, “Why do you like Yang Corps better?”
“Because Yang Corps cared deeply for their employees.” This fact was that Yang Corps featured in an Employer of the year magazine. They were highlighted, and are the top 10 companies with employees in City Y, and sure enough at the top of the list was Yang Corps. All the employees are proud to be part of Yang Corps compared to the other nine companies. Pan Holding Incorporated was placed in 5th place, although they have a higher paying salary than Yang Corps, and the other companies, their treatment for employees are not as good and fair.
Pan Holding Incorporated is a company of competition among each other. Where if your monthly report isn’t as good, you are likely to be fired. If you make more money for the company, you would have better treatment, and you would get more bonus and earnings. Although, there would be a fair amount of people who are competitive, and preferred that. Wang Yi-An is not a competitive person. She honestly told them, “Pan Holding Inc is a bit too competitive for me, I don’t think I can fit in with them, but I am sure that Yang Corps would be the better choice for me.”
The three of them agreed with her analysis. After they heard her reasons for why she picked Yang Corps over the other companies, they asked her one last question. “Why should we pick you, overall the other students that have applied today?”
“Because I have a talent that is unique and rare.”
“What talent would that be?” Assistant Tseng was curious. He looked at the copies of her portfolio and didn’t notice anything much.
“I have a photographic memory.” She said, “and also I can draw at an immersive fast.
Tseng Kuan-Yin was amazed, how could anyone claim to have two talents that seem to be so rare. “Really?” he seems to be a disbeliever as he asked her. “Can you prove it?”
“Of course I can.” She said as she smiled brightly.
Because of her confident, Assistant Tseng decided to test her. “Okay, I will show you two photos,” and he did. “Now tell me the details in photo one and two.” He places the two photos backwards down, hiding them from view. The other two managers thought that he didn’t show her the photos long enough. “Wasn’t that a bit fast?” said the manager on the left, she didn’t like how he would treat her like that.
“Hey, she said she has a photographic memory.”
“Maybe she meant she had a good memory.” They wanted to give the girl a more reasonable chance, showing her two pictures in less than a minute seems to be cruel. “You should show her them again,"
Assistant Tseng had exchanged messages with President Yang at 2:45 PM. He looked at Wang Yi-An and said, "Okay, since she is young I might as well..."
“There’s no need.” She said as she interrupted him, and then she told them, “Instead of going over the details in speech, would you like me to redraw it out?”
The three managers looked at each other and thought to themselves. “She can do that, is that even possible?” they watch as she took out her sketchbook from her mini-backpack. She started to draw them out, and sure enough, it took her 15 minutes to draw out two pictures.
All three of them were amazed at how fast she could sketch out the two images. As soon as she completed them, she walked over and placed them both on the table. Assistant Tseng flipped over the two pictures he had shown her and started to compare Wang Yi-An’s rough sketch to the two originals.
They were surprised, they looked very identical, the pictures detailed and the colours all matched the originals. “Wow, you sure are amazingly talented Miss Wang.”
“Thank you!” she kept her smile at them, and put her sketchbook away in her small backpack, along with her colours markers and supplies she had used.
“Well, with a talent like that I wanted to hire you already!” Assistant Tseng still couldn’t believe his eyes. The two drawings and the two originals look so much alike when you compared them side by side. “Well then, can you start work next week?”
“Already? I thought that the internship starts in two weeks from now?” Wang Yi-An was surprised with the impulses.
Assistant Tseng laughed, “Oh, right. I almost forgot that.” he has forgotten that he was in such a hurry, Wang Yi-An's talents amazed him so much that he had forgotten that this interview was an interview for the internship. “Then you can start your internship in two weeks; you may go home and wait for your acceptance letter by email.” Assistant Tseng's decision had surprised the other two managers. They haven't even finished the interview yet, and he had already decided on Wang Yi-An. Of course, they wouldn't show their disapproval in front of him. Wang Yi-An was glad and quickly lowered her head down for a slight bow. “Thank you!” She got up, and she left the room.
“Mr Tseng isn’t it too soon? We haven’t finished interviewing all the other students yet.”
“Would it be necessary to wait on someone as talented as her? Her photographic memory is a rare talent! Don’t worry about President Yang. I will inform him about my decision.” Assistant Tseng had made his intention to hire Wang Yi-An clear; the other two wouldn’t question him anymore. Assistant Tseng position in the company is almost like he is a vice-president. Even their current Vice-President, Ma Wei wouldn't have as much authority as Assistant Tseng, who worked directly for President Yang.
Soon enough, Assistant Tseng quickly sent a message to his boss, Yang Tian-Xu. He had to tell President Yang the excellent news that he had just met a girl with a photographic memory!
“Boss, you would be so surprised about this student, I recently interviewed. This student has a photographic memory! I already informed the student to start the internship in two weeks.”
