Chapter 679 - Carona's Continuous Progress 2

Filomina ran with all her might and finally made it 10 minutes earlier.

Yes!

She did it!

She felt like dancing victoriously when she looked at her watch.

As they say, first impressions make a difference.

So with that thought in mind, she quickly calmed herself down, wiped her sweaty face, drank a bottle of water from her purse and slowly walked in as if she hadn’t just completed an entire marathon just to get here.

Fake it till you make it baby!

And where was she going to work?

Of course, it was within one of the newly constructed government buildings.

She alongside 99 others, had been hired and given various tasks within this newly built government estate.

And from what she knew, she had been placed within a sector that is responsible for calculating all statistical information in Carona.

Be it birth rate, death date or even unemployment rate... they seemed to be a lot that they had to do.

And their Minister or boss, was someone who has been interning in Baymard for the past 3 years.

Now, he was back, and he was ready to put his knowledge into use.

But because she wasn’t too good in math, she was only qualified enough to be one of the department sector’s secretary

As for their head secretary, he also worked in Baymard as the boss’s secretary too.

So now he would be teaching her and a few others what to do.

.

"Morning Mrs. Filomina.

The others are already seated within the main building.

So just go over there and join them just like the last time."

"Thank you, Mr. Green," Filomina said before hurriedly fishing towards the main building.

Previously when she had attended the orientation, they were only told about the importance of their sector to Carona.

Of course they were briefed on their duties and also showed around the estate.

But that was all.

So today, they were very sure that they would get a glimpse of what this ’secretary’ job really was.

"Morning Filly!"

"Morning Filomina!"

"Morning!"

"Morning!"

Everyone smiled and treated her cheerfully since they had bonded well during their last time.

One should know that even though 100 people were hired, her department only recruited 13 people.

And 8 out of those 13 wrote secretaries, while the rest were sent to work under the main boss himself.

As for the 8 of them, there were 5 women and 3 men.

Everyone chatted excitedly for a bit before Mr. Green who was the head secretary, came back.

"Welcome everyone! The sourc???? of this content is ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

Now that you all are here, it’s time to take you to your new work stations."

Once everyone heard her, their excitement couldn’t be contained as they quickly followed him towards their new office.

The room was massive and had more than 20 office desks all lined up neatly.

From the number of desks alone, they were sure that the department would hire more secretaries later on.

But for now, there were only 8 of them.

And on top of each table, were several other doc.u.ments and items on it too.

"Everyone, please choose a desk and seat," Green said while gesturing with his hands.

And when everyone did as they were told she calmly sat on a desk at the forefront of the room tht was facing them.

It was as if he was a teacher and they were the students.

"The new era is one in which secretaries play an important part in.

So as office secretaries, I expect you all to be alert, efficient and play a vital role in this new era.

Now back in Baymard, we used something called typewriters.

But since those aren’t allowed to be exported out of Baymard yet, we will continue to rely on our hands as we have done for the past hundreds and thousands of years.

And luckily for us, we have several office materials that will aid us in completing these tasks.

So from today henceforth, these office supplies will be your best friends.

And as for the uses of these supplies, we will be covering that today slowly.

Now... let’s begin."

.

Of course, typewriters couldn’t be exported out of Baymard since their mechanism could be copied by many outsiders if given time.

So they were only used in Baymard, and could only be bought by establishments, businesses, or aspiring writers who have joined the writers association.

As Filomina listened to Green, she became more and more shocked about her secretarial duties.

She placed empty A4 papers before her and also read the many guidelines of the standard of all letters, reports and notes that she had to write.

She used her ruler, erasable ink, pens, binders, envelopes, folders, scissors, rubber bands, highlighters, planners, calendars and many more.

And as time went by, she began to understand the uses of all the office supplies in her desk drawers.

There was just so much to do that she didn’t even notice when lunchtime had arrived.

What the hell?

She looked at her watch and felt like time seemed to fly by in a blink of an eye.

Was this how it felt like to work?

Was this how others felt each time they went about their day busily?

She looked at all the notes she had jotted down earlier on and felt something within her shake.

She felt intelligent, confident and proud of herself now.

It was a feeling that was much different from before.

Her husband wasn’t in the best condition as he would fall sick very often.

But he still worked hard for their family of 3.

So now that she could support him, she only hoped that he would look for a better job and take care of himself.

Her husband was born with a very weak constitution.

So seeing him do heavy labour all the time made her weep daily.

But now, everything was different.

If she even worked within the department for a longer time, maybe she could even recommend them to hire her husband.

After all, she had been told about employee recommendations.

So why wouldn’t she want to use up that opportunity?

Filomina clenched her fists and decided to give it all she had.

For her family, she would be the best secretary ever!

And so just like that, several Caronians who came back from Baymard, quickly put their skills into play and began teaching many others the way forward.

Likewise, in Baymard, several other people were excited as well.

Finally, the day they had been waiting for was here!
