My First Job

By Michael Tseui, January 9, 2019 — You know, I got my first job by accident. I was in Philadelphia for school and I was looking for a job. I saw one in the newspaper for a microbiology job at a hospital in Levittown. I went to SEPTA and asked how I could get there, and they told me which train to take. I took it all the way up, and started looking for the hospital that posted the job. Only then did I realize that the job I was looking for was in Levittown, New Jersey, but my train took me to Levittown, Pennsylvania. I asked told the man at the station about my predicament and he said ‘Wherever you’re going to will probably be closed by the time you get there. It’ll be past 5 o’clock on a weekday and all the offices will be closed.’ I didn’t know what to do, so I opened up another newspaper and started reading…and I found another hospital in Levittown, PA posting a job for the exact same position. I went in that day and got the job after one interview. I couldn’t believe my luck!
