One of my colleagues asked me what do you do when you are unemployed?
I told her: I will not be unemployed and we are in an area where no matter how we work, it is necessary to work and there is room for improvement.
In short, I am not unemployed, but I am still looking for a job. 20 years ago, when I was finishing my studies for an associate degree, we had a professor who was the head of IT of one of the largest private units in our country at the same time, and he was also our professor. Through one of the students, that is, my friend, we did an industrial project with him. My friend arranged a computer for us through the school where his father was a teacher. Another friend and I used to go to work on the project system. Beautiful and hot summer days and beautiful and cold winter days, every day from morning to 7 pm we come to work behind the system. With the new language of the C#.Net. Of those languages under Windows if Microsoft says it has changed today, we say yes sir, it has changed, there is no problem, we will learn another language. Our same professor had hired two upper semester students, who said that programming language is not important at all; Algorithm is important. They were very educated and my professor once came in front of the university and held a big conference and said yes, I became an entrepreneur. These are two of the students who are doing projects with me and we are working together, and now I am an entrepreneur.
At that time, the entrepreneurship festival was popular. In short, our professor was a brand and he had bought all the CCTV cameras of this large private unit from Europe, and he had gone to a foreign country a couple of times, the name of which I do not remember now. Later, I saw that his family is also a rich family.
During the winter, my friend's father, who gave us the school computer, took his daughter to teach a class there at the same time. At that hour when his daughter was teaching, I was behind the system to see what this code would look like; The code would be deleted occasionally, today. The content would be deleted tomorrow. Today I will fix it, tomorrow I will buy a CD for it. At that time, CD was still rewritable and the flash memory was in the hands of few people. That other friend had brought his rewritable CD and everyone was doing whatever they could for themselves. And of course, I was the one who had to sit behind the system while working. If I didn't come to work one day, they couldn't and maybe they didn't want to work. I had presented a programming language model for work, which I had to follow myself. My friend's father, who brought her, had seen the work from my side. It was as if I was not a good employee for him. I remember they took me for a ride once and when I closed the door, he grumbled to my friend, why is she closing the door so tightly? This is a type of employer grumbling. The next time, I was working for someone else, her husband said the opposite, why is she closing the car door slowly!
We used to sit behind the system when we were teenagers and the only mode I could choose was when praying. What an option. Another time, when we were moving the desktop computer, his father said: What are you doing? Do you take off Apollo?!
It passed and summer came and we happily said that now we will hand over the project to the professor and get a grade. Once or twice, we took the project and showed it to the professor, and he raised the mouse, saying that he is not satisfied, and what is the situation, and so on. On the last day, he said: I will give the grade of your final project, but come and finish it here. I don't remember, I asked him if you are hiring or not, but what I remember from him is that he said that we have an honorary force, the wife and husband are flying from other cities on Sundays, and they work here.
If they honorary come by plane, they must get the money. After working for free for a year and you were not satisfied, I should have come to finish the job for whom?
Well, because I had the experience of my diploma and in the internship of my diploma, there was someone who explained the work to me, and we went to the system and he said: type this letter exactly with this character that I told you, type it here, type it there, why didn't you type it? Why didn't you put them on the left line? I was not employed and soon I left. I said both here and there that I don't work for anyone for free.1
In my mind, I was more expensive than these words. The diploma was more expensive, so I did it as a post-graduate diploma. I was more expensive as a graduate student and I wanted to make it a bachelor's degree. I was just going through my teenage years. As a teenager, there were thousands of hopes and windows in front of my eyes.
I didn't even go back for my bachelor's internship. Although I lived with memories of playing in the snow and things like that with passing friends, I wasn't happy that I was working for free and that no one appreciated me.
Every day, I used to pass by the center of the largest private company in the country and I would say: If I go to this IT center, will its boss, my professor, still be there? What does it matter?
My friend's father was friends with this boss, what did he do with us?
It has been until a day like today. A week ago, I had taken a job from a manager and it didn't fit his taste and I left. The following week, I got a job in a secretarial unit, and the girls of the seventies expected me to beg them more so that they would give me half the work, and I came out.
And today, the third week, they ask me to "go to the negotiation table for this one interview. Go see what happens in the interview, tell me the result. It's a pity, it means that we have an elite to live abroad."
I myself have thought about going out many times, but it is very difficult to go out. Especially for someone whose two backs of her/his family are not there, or one back after her/his family is not there. Even there, they don't distribute Halva, in this war and conflict. Nice, you have to work hard, start from scratch
A thousand unforeseen events, for someone who is just starting out. For me, of course, zero has always been one point. I started, and finally I continued.
I looked at my phone and said myself I will send him a message now: I am coming for an interview. I copied the message because they had already given me the text to introduce myself with thank you and thanks in advance. I should have named that empty place.
Before I sent the greeting message, I went to talk to my mother about this. After all, it is true that she has seen all my efforts in these 20 years and I even told her the memories of my days as an associate several times. But then again today, when you described this memory, the air has a different color. Maybe that day you were describing summer. Today is autumn and winter. I told my memories and she said something interesting. She said: How much was the coin at that time?
I said it was very cheap, maybe 100 thousand Tomans. At that time, we did not know what inflation was. 20 years ago, early eighties. She said: You were going to buy a coin.
I saw that she was telling the truth, she said something new. All this time, everyone has been asking me to come and go to this work, come and go to that work. It's a pity, no one told me to go buy coins, it wants to go up.

1- That day, that professor asked us to work for free, but at the same time he was getting all the CCTV cameras for the shrine from Europe. Today, when the Zionist regime took over the monitoring of the cameras with the "Nimbos" project and the cooperation of the technology giants, they are happy with the purchase of that day. That professor became rich, because today a student like us was supposed to have nothing to do with giants.
