    My day started early as I had to prepare for the interviews. I went to my home office and started going through the resumes. It was a daunting task, but I knew it was necessary.

    My husband, Dale, came into the room with a cup of tea for me. "You're doing great, babe," he said, giving me a comforting smile. His support always made things easier.

    Soon it was time for the first interview. The candidate, a young woman named Sarah, seemed nervous but determined.

    Sarah's interview went well. She was organized and had a good understanding of the job role. I was impressed by her dedication.

    The next few interviews were not as impressive. The candidates lacked the experience and dedication that Sarah had shown.

    After a long day of interviews, I was exhausted. I decided to call it a day and went downstairs to find Dale preparing dinner.
