The job seeker

Those eyes saying " sir, did you like the PCB I made?" asking whether I am in or not, those eyes were irresistive.

This man came for soldering and related work at our lab, and I was the one giving him the work to assess his skills. I gave him a very compacted PCB of an embedded camera to solder headers and dip-sockets, which we reportedly failed to solder twice before. The holes for the headers were very close to each other and the shorting line were going through, even from the way between 2 very close holes. Little mistake could short the unwanted things up leaving no way our but desoldering using hot air. After soldering the given things, he came and said, "Sir......". "Ok.. ", I said taking the PCB and putingt the microcontroller and trying buring the code. I tried buring 3-4 times but it did not work. I changed the microcontroller and it worked. Actually with the previous microcontroller, I need to put one more thing on the PCB, probably there was some problem with that part, and so it was not working earlier but with the second microncontroller it worked, as the second one does not need that extra component.
All this time, that man tried to be very nice, his eyes with hope lying with uncertainity, still hope was more. On seeing the successful trial after the failed ones, the smile ran on his face. and I was thinking getting pity on that man. He was young, will be somewhere around 25 or so. and when I saw how he was struggling with life, for a moment I forgot all my pains, thinking that I am living a heavenly life and I dont value it. I used to consider my quality of life as crap !! I am considerably younger to him and he was calling me 'sir , sir '. I could feel the way I was melting inside, I wish I could give him the life that he wanted, I wish I could give him the job where he never needs to call 'sir' to a person who does not desearve this word. I wish I could give him all the happiness in life. But alas, I can feel my limit, I cant bring smile to a single face, and I roam around with the haughty head all the time. Lot of pain in the world, wish I can make it a better place. I hope that man gets all what he wants from life.

Congrats if you get the job, I am sorry if you don't. But I wish I could do something. I wish our requirements and your skills would have matched.

Lot of pain in this world, God give me power to bring smile on those faces. God give me strength, make me useful for a few people at least !
