题目内容
14.When I began planning to move to Auckland to study,my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India,where we lived.She worried particularly about the lack of jobs and cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism.Despite these concerns,I came to New Zealand in July 2009.I have found the place and the people very nice and supportive.Soon after I arrived,I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.
Determined to do this on my own,I spent a whole day going from door to door for a job.However,I received little or no response(回应).
One afternoon,I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities(机会).The people there were very surprised and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner.As I was about to leave,a clerk in the building,who had been listening to what others had said,approached me and asked me to wait outside.Fifteen minutes later,he returned,He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident.Then he offered to take me to Royal Oak to search for a job.
I was a little surprised,but had a good feeling about him,so I went along.Along the way,I realized that I had run out of resumes(简历).Seeing this,the man stopped at his business partner's office to make me fifteen extra copies.He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking and added that I should give him a call if I ever needed anything.I handed out my resume and went home feeling very satisfied.The following day,I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.
It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it.And this time,it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.
