Chapter 1967 The person seated in the president's office was none other than Sherman.
He looked perfectly at ease, casually flipping through a folder in his hands as if he was engrossed in it. He glanced up at her with a faint smile." What's the matter? Why do you look so surprised to seehere?" "Um... No. It's just a bit unexpected. I didn't think you'd be the president of Parr Group," Melody admitted with an awkward smile.
Despite the company nbeing Parr Group, she had not imagined that the prestigious Parr Group belonged to Sherman Parr.
Well, it seemed like she underestimated Sherman's background back then.

Melody nodded and finally settled into the chair. "Sherman, why did you send someone to find me?" "Weren't you here today for an interview at our company? Why not lethandle the interview personally?" Sherman smiled as he spoke. After finishing reading the documents, he set them aside and smiled warmly at her.
Melody glanced at the folder Sherman had just set aside. It was not fully closed, and the content was laid bare before her eyes.
Wait, isn't that my resume? So Sherman has been looking at it from the beginning! Oh, man. This is so embarrassing!' thought Melody.
For sreason, a pang of guilt hit Melody. She had embellished her resby sprinkling in a fair share of self- promotion to make herself stand out.
Melody did not see it as a big deal if it was viewed by a stranger. After all, most candidates would lie on their resume. However, it was embarrassing that Sherman was actively reading whatever she typed there. She wanted nothing more than to bury a hole and hide in it.
"Melody, your academic background is quite impressive. With a bit of work experience, you'd be a sought-after candidate," said Sherman, his words tinged with regret for Melody's untapped potential.
Melody excelled in her studies and secured a spot at a prestigious university. Unfortunately, her post-graduation years without a job turned into a glaring weakness on her resthat had significantly hampered her job search.
"Yeah, I know lacking work experience is my weak point. It's just frustrating that without that initial chance, I'll be stuck in this loop forever!" said Melody with a helpless sigh.
Such was the contemporary job market; slightly better companies wanted younger employees but also demanded more experience. It was just a catch-22 situation.

However, that did not mean Sherman was not willing to take that leap.
"For exceptionally talented people, experience isn't the only measure of success on the job. Melody, Parr om Group's subsidiary is in need of .O someone just like you," said Sherman. He then handed another folder to Melody." Here's sinfo about our subsidiary. Take a look and see if you'd be interested in coming on board." Melody was pleasantly surprised as she took the folder.
Does it mean Sherman... No, Parr Group subsidiary is offeringa position?' she wondered.
Sherman smiled warmly. "Melody, I have confidence in your abilities. If you're up for it, I'd like to invite you to be the Advertising Director at our subsidiary. Plus, the team you'll be leading is relatively young, so I believe the communication will be easier."
Melody looked at him in disbelief. "You wantas the Advertising Director? But don't have any experience! How can you trustwith such a role?"
