Two days after sending the resume. La sede dell'agenzia
Infinity è un maestoso casale che sonnecchia tra alberi, prati e rilassanti sonorità naturali, nascosto nella campagna della
periferia romana: l'ingresso sbuca all'improvviso, sulla via
Flaminia direzione Terni. Una volta spalancate le inferriate del cancello, la facciata del casale ti osserva da lontano, mentre ti avvicini - con una certa soggezione - sul dritto sentiero in ghiaia.
Ma di tutto questo mi sono potuto accorgere con molta più tranquillità al momento della seconda selezione del colloquio d'assunzione. E, poiché una seconda selezione, prevede l'esser riusciti a passarne una prima, il mio primo approccio con l'atipica sede dell'

Elisha contacted me, telling me that I was chosen for the second selection of the interview.

Look at you, I thought, if the first interview of my life I have to be taken or sent away by a

The minutes are spent tens, talk about each other's lives of six of us have slowly
exhausted, when in the room, suddenly appeared a man-
Infinity (not having a uniform or a particular color of skin, say, purple: he simply had a
badge with the logo of 'Infinity

stato il secondo caso, invece, se Massimo, alla fine, avesse chiesto una parcella di xxx-cento euro.
Con la promessa di "sapere al più presto gli esiti di questo colloquio", noi sei abbiamo lasciato quel luogo così irreale, che nelle ultime luci del tramonto si presentava ancora più riposante.

After a quick exchange of contacts with the other five, I went back in the car, ready to take back the

Instead, a 20-minute semi-deserted street, I arrived home. It's not that I was really in a
