Read this paragraph.We were all crowded into the tiny waiting room, and the receptionist was handing out clipboards. Some of the applicants had worn skirts, some of the guys even wore ties. I was just wearing cargo shorts and flip flops. I mean, the job they advertised was for a stock boy. When I filled out my application, I kept my explanation brief. I saw other people listing references, and I thought maybe I should have brought more information. But, it’s no big deal. My mom said the summer job market is tight, but I’m sure there’s an opportunity for me.What does the writer’s voice reveal?
The writer casually describes arriving in cargo shorts and flip-flops, keeping the application brief, and only afterward wondering whether to bring references. These details suggest the writer is unfamiliar with job-application expectations. The voice reveals inexperience, rather than frustration or wisdom; the writer remains hopeful about finding an opportunity.
