It was his first time out looking for a job, and he was a complete greenhorn, clueless about everything.
When he saw that the interviewer was just a young woman, his heart sank.
He had graduated over a year ago. After finishing the internship his university had arranged, he hadn’t been able to find another job.
He had finally found a research institute that seemed promising, only to find that his interviewer looked like a young woman who had just started college.
But considering his current desperate situation, Aaron Archer had no other choice.
Figuring he had nothing to lose, he sat down in front of Chloe Sinclair and handed her his resume.
Chloe Sinclair had already seen Aaron Archer’s general profile before she arrived, but now, seeing the detailed version, she was slightly surprised.
"Your resume says you have a Ph.D. Why didn’t you look for a more established laboratory?"
It wasn’t that she looked down on her own venture, but she currently had little more than an empty promise to offer. Aside from a vague concept, she couldn’t give Aaron Archer anything concrete.
Aaron Archer’s face grew hot, and a hint of shame crept into his expression. "I have. I couldn’t find one."
He had previously worked at one of the nation’s top-three biopharmaceutical research institutes, but he had resigned in less than two weeks because he couldn’t stand the work environment.
Chloe Sinclair’s question felt like a public humiliation, and his heart pounded with anxiety.
After all, he had interviewed at dozens of institutes, big and small, over the past few months, and nearly every interviewer had asked the same question.
Every time they heard he was unwilling to sign his research findings over to the company or a professor, they would all look at him with disdain, scorning him behind his back.
He had expected Chloe Sinclair to be just like the others and look at him with contempt, but to his surprise, she was simply watching him with a gentle smile.
Aaron Archer froze.
Then, Chloe Sinclair spoke.
"I’ve read your resume. You graduated first in your high school, won first place in two separate biology competitions, and received the National Endeavor Scholarship twice. You’re brilliant."
