Interview

Printer-friendly version

Sorry for the bad English, but I wanted to get the story out of my head as quickly as possible.

- Jack, get up, you have to get ready for the interview. You can't be late. Jenny's girlfriend's voice snapped him out of his sleep.
He immediately remembered yesterday's unpleasant conversation.
She told him that if he didn't get the job, they would break up and he had to move out.
They lived together for almost a year after graduating from college.
Jack, apart from some odd jobs, could not find a permanent job.
Recently, he spent most of his time at home playing online games.
Jenny quickly found a job, and she basically supported them. Even though she loved Jack, she was getting more and more fed up with it. She wanted to motivate him to try harder, and she knew she wouldn't leave him if he didn't get the job.
Jenny froze with her cup of coffee when she saw Jack dressed in jeans and a tshit.

-So, are you going to go to a job interview at the office? Where's your suit and shirts?

-They are dirty, I forgot to wash them....

Jesus Jack…- Jenna wondered whether to tell him to pack.
She stood silent for a while, sipping her coffee.

-Okay, go shave and do something about that hair while I look for something.

Janna didn't even look in Jack's wardrobe, she knew she wouldn't find anything suitable, she opened her wardrobe. She chose beige chinos.
She was going through her shirts. They all seemed too colorful to her. She finally hit it
on gray with delicate blue stripes. The shirt was too wide for her, but it should have been for Jack
be appropriate. It was quite feminine. Fitted waist and slightly puffed short sleeves
and of course the buttons were on the left - Janna hesitated but there was nothing else.

-Wear this,- she said as she entered the room.

- But they are yours, ladies....

- There's nothing else. Should have thought of that earlier. Anyway, nowadays
no one pays that much attention to it. The most important thing is that they are clean, simple and classic.
Hurry up to that you had such new shoes, sneakers and a laptop bag so that you had nothing in your pants pockets.

Half an hour later, Jack was sitting in the lobby of an apparel company.
He felt very uncomfortable in Jenny's clothes. Normally he wore his shoulder-length hair down, but now it was tied back with a rubber band. He mentally reproached himself for not taking care of clean clothes for the interview.

-Mr. Jack Wilson? his name snapped him out of his thoughts

Here - he said, jumping up from his chair.

-Follow me, please. He was ushered into the office.

- Please sit down, I'm Ava Johnson, I'm recruiting.
- I wanted to apologize immediately to you, position in the IT department
was planted yesterday. Due to an oversight, no one called you
Sorry again.

- But I ... I have to have this job ... Please anything ... - Jack already in his mind saw how he was packing and parting with Jenny.

- There is only one possibility. Our company focuses on equality for everyone, especially the LGBT community.
There is a position of an intern - assistant in the fashion design department. This position is for a copycat or a Trans woman.
I don't know if I'm guessing correctly from your women's clothes.
If you are trans then this job could be for you...

Jack faced a difficult choice. tell the truth, which would mean breaking up with Janny. Or lie, get that job, but what will Jenny say?

- I.. yes.. I am.. - Jack couldn't even say out loud that he was Trans, because he didn't feel like that at all ...

- Okay, that's great. then welcome to our company. What's your female name?

- Jack…eeee..Jackie - Yes Jacqueline ..Jackie…

- So Jackie Wilson, according to the company's policy, even if the documents show the name Jack and the male gender, we will have Jackie Wilson and female gender everywhere. You have nothing to fear, everyone will refer to you as a woman.

- As for the dress code at work, formal office attire is obligatory, a suit with a skirt not shorter than the knee length, or with elegant trousers.
This also applies to you, Jackie, because this department is for contact with clients, you will not talk to them but help with these meetings.

-At the beginning there is a lot of running ... and running errands for many people ...
But it's a chance... There are many opportunities for the company's employees to be promoted... or priority... when a position in, for example, the IT department becomes vacant...

After leaving the conversation instead of taking the bus home, Jack skidded past the bus stop and walked dazedly straight ahead…. He didn't even remember the rest of the conversation, he joined in with the idea that he would work as a woman...

He was supposed to call Janna after the conversation. But tell her this.
He sent a text "I'm after the conversation, we'll talk at home"
It wasn't enough for her ... she immediately called ...

- I do not want to wait. Did you get that job? Yes or no ? Such an answer does not require waiting until the evening…

-Tej no, she was already taken, but there was another position .... Assistant ... position for a woman ... uh, I'm supposed to work as a female assistant ... because of these clothes they thought I was trans ... I didn't deny it ... I was afraid that I'd disappoint you ... I'll walk out of the job interview with nothing again ... I love you ... I'm sorry ...

-Wait, will he work as a woman? What does it mean ?

-I have to wear only women's clothes to work... and they'll call me a woman named Jacky. And it's all because they thought I was trans and I lied that I was...or rather I didn't prove them wrong...

-Jesus, Jack is not easy with you ... But maybe you should face the consequences of your decisions ... Maybe it's good that it happened and it will be good for you ... you will learn some self-discipline and take care of yourself ...
And in a few months, maybe you'll get a job in pants...

- We'll go buy you some women's clothes, shirts and skirts and dresses. and nice high heels, but not too high so you don't kill yourself on the stairs :-) - Jenny was starting to enjoy it - We'll go to the hairdresser and beautician ... it will be fun .... to do eyebrows together ...

We'll actually talk at home. Jackie….that's a lot to digest.
-Don't take off the clothes you're wearing, get used to it...see you tonight...

Jack didn't feel any better after that conversation... he just felt that Jenna probably wouldn't leave him

Will Jack go back to being Jack? Or maybe she will like being a female Jackie?

A good start

Jackie slipped into the role quite easily, now how will Jenna respond to her new trans girlfriend? Hopefully she takes charge and helps Jackie cope with her new role and is supportive, not domineering. It's amazing that Jack could spend hours playing games and it took a threat by his girlfriend to 'grow up'. :DD

One thing, leads to another...

Did Jenny and Ava Johnson set Jack up to misstep? His being careless has led to another problem.
