Lucky You!

A long yawn escapes your lips. You rub your eyes before leaning back in your chair.

You take a sip of the half forgotten cup of coffee on your desk beside your laptop.

You crack your knuckles...its time to get back to it.

Your parents always taught you to work hard. Something that you have taken to heart.

Your no stranger to job sites, you've been working part time for things since you were 14...

...And have gradually been doing more and more in the world of work ever since.

Your peers can hardly believe all the jobs you've done from waitering at a beach side café, front of house work for a theatre, and even a brief stint as a unofficial but very much paid taxi driver to the locals in your area since you were one of the first people in your friend group to get a driver's licence.

But now you were looking to go bigger.

You'd been staring at the screen for hours now browsing all the internet has to offer. You've written CV after CV and applied and applied.

But nothing seems to really grab your attention.

You click onto page two of the job sight.

Your eyes light up when see what's at the top of the page.

INTERN WANTED - NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED - FULL TIME

You click on it - It's a program set up to encourage new, young people, like yourself to get into the industry.

...But it doesn't say what industry you'd be working in?

The pay is good - very good.

...But it doesn't give any real figures?

It says the hours are flexible.

...But it doesn't say how long they are?

You apply, tentatively.

Unlike with every other job you've applied for - this one gets back you instantly...

You've got the job!

More details soon emerge.

You receive an email that contains a brief apology about how vague the job was as well as words of congratulations. Its a long wordy email with paragraph upon paragraph. However certain words jump out to you...

...Celebrity...

...Hollywood..

...Fame...

Had you just hit the jackpot?

The email told you that if you accepted the offer, you would automatically be registered to a private personal assistant agency in Los Angeles, one that would match you up with a few celebrities and give you the ability to choose who you would work for.

You pinched yourself to make sure you weren't dreaming.

You read the email again. The company - Specialists and Executives by Xanders - was offering the pay for your flight to Los Angeles as well as to pay for accommodation and a teaching program too.

You did some research to make sure this wasn't some kind of scam.

It wasn't.

The founder, Oliver Xanders, was a wealthy business owner who owned shares in most of the major Hollywood studios such as Disney and Warner Brothers. His Wikipedia page showed a picture of him - an old man now - but one who was seen countless times partying with celebrities in the 1970s. His wikipedia page even mentioned his outreach program! The one that you were now a part of.

You couldn't believe it.

You accepted the offer without hesitation.
