Text from Nik to Alex:  My pilates instructor is looking for a part-time assistant. Monday and Tuesdays 8-5. $20/hr if you’re interested.
Alex:  Yes!! I am! How do I go about securing that?
Nik:  Call Noelle. Tell her I told you about the position. I don’t have the number. Google it.
Alex:  Is there a time I should call?
Nik:  I found the number (310-***-****).  Call now because I just left her a message saying you’d be calling.
Alex:  Thank you! Just left a message.

Text from Alex to Nik:  I’m meeting with Noelle tomorrow at her studio!
Nik:  I know. She called me and thanked me for recommending you and said that she trusts she’ll like you. Pretty sure the job is yours if you want it.
Alex:  Should I bring a resume when I meet with her? And how dressy should I get? Sorry for all the questions.
Nik:  Yes, take a resume and because it’s a pilates studio and she wears workout clothes everyday, I think you can go nice-casual. Maybe cute jeans and a button down shirt? And maybe a little preppy-like since it’s Pacific Palisades…

Text from Nik to Alex:  Saw that you called. How was the interview?
Alex:  It went well! I’m hired! I start on Tuesday!
Nik:  Great news.  Congrats.
Alex:  Thanks again Nik!
Nik:  No problemo. Now you can buy me a coffee.
