"ONE OF THESE DAYS"
As you can see i am not José Carlos, i am his mother
he couldn't Make it because he is feeling Sick.
i think i can perfectly talk to you about my son.
Because i brought him to this world.
so what do you want me to say about my son?
i can tell you everything about him, i will try to answer any cuestion you ask me.
- Fine but... - What is the Job application about?
All right but is not proffesional to interview the mother's aplicant...
..is not serious - No and my son is formal.
And quite serious.
Does your son need the Job?
Of course he does need it.
Any Job.
He wants the Job
And now what is he doing for living?
He is jobless at this moment and living with me.
why didn he come then?
Beacause he was on bed doing i dont know what, sleeping or something
"and told me : " mom you go!you are better at talking"
and you know all your son is able to do then?
Of course yes! You have his c.v with you as well, haven't you?
ok...for example...is he good at english? languages? does he speak any other language?
Fine...good, is not Bad at it.
On his c.v sais he speaks english, french, Germán,
Russian and Yugoslavia. How is he that good at languages?
i have no idea,
I didn't know he was
I do.i do..i do not know.
May be he learnt when he was studing in Seville...practicing with...you know
He is also good with girls and did very good...
He also went to London for a weekend.
is he good on it? How does he do with New technologies?
good, goog...i...think he does good with the net,
i use to see him playing with that console,
moving his fingers fast on the remote control...
i don't remember the name of the game.
Spents many hours playing...
he is clever.
Very clever i'd say.
As you can understand this is not the best impression of your son.
no but, he is...he is a very serious guy.
These days are difficult. A mother has to take care of the will of their childrens.
Life is hard.
He is 35 as i can see. -Yes.
And no work experience. -None.
I can't do this.
Don't laugh.
How long have you been working so far?
Long ago?
You are lucky...
...And he has no references either.
Yes he is 35.
Don't you think he is a bit older?
I don't think that is a problem, nowadays age don't matter.
I am 58 myself and i feel like a young girl.
i brought two discos with me
From these guys
This is a pice of art today,
They are old but still good too.
-I am a great fan of the beattles!
if you want i can give you one for free...
..or you can buy it, can't you?
-why not, how much do you sell it for?
10 euro for you.
Deal, 10 euro is fine.
Yes it is - it is fixed.
At least i can pay the taxi with that. -You are right.
From you and on the paper is looking good, but i'd like to ask if you can tell me
a defect of your son.
He has no faults, the only defect he could have is
that he studied all his life for nothing
as the rest of students.
It's being hard for him...
... We have a friend who suffered an ictus
And he is taking care of him, taking him to the speech therapist or the physiotherapist...
He really wants to work.
Does he have a family?
No, he is single, he has no girlfriend
and i have a daughter too with two kids
So we do just fine considering she is jobless too
And here we go.
I haven't met you son but i did meet you
and i think you are a good person and thanks to that
I am about to give your son a second chance and meet me in the next interview
But he must come himself -Yes, yes that's for sure.
I have had good vibrations
And for that reason i am going to give your son another chance. - Thank you very much.
All due to his mother. - Thanks.
Well, superb and
Are you keeping those discs for you?
Come one! Wake up!
One of these days i am gonna leave and dissapear.
Next week you have a Job interview, go it?
