Chapter 1: The Interview
Daniel adjusted his tie nervously as he approached the sleek, glass-fronted building that housed Chic Horizons, a rising star in the world of fashion and modeling. He had spent days researching the company, impressed by their commitment to inclusivity and innovation. Yet, as he entered the lobby, a sense of unease began to creep in.
The waiting area was filled with other candidates, but one detail stood out: nearly all of them were women. Some were flipping through portfolios, others whispering among themselves. Their confidence and polished appearances made Daniel feel out of place in his traditional navy suit.
He glanced at the sign-in sheet and confirmed his suspicion—his was the only male name on the list.
The Waiting Room
Daniel sat quietly in the brightly lit waiting room, surrounded by women chatting softly or reviewing their portfolios. The energy in the room was palpable—each candidate was poised and confident, their outfits effortlessly professional, exuding a natural sense of belonging in a creative, fashion-driven workplace. Daniel, in his slightly worn navy suit and striped tie, couldn’t help but feel like a complete outsider.
His hands rested on his lap, clasped tightly to keep them from trembling. He glanced down at his resume, neatly printed and carefully formatted, but with a sinking feeling, he realized how irrelevant it was for this role. His experience was rooted in the banking industry—numbers, regulations, and client portfolios. What did he, a 35-year-old former banking professional from Argentina, have to offer to a modern fashion company in Berlin?
Yet, here he was. Not because this job aligned with his career aspirations, but because he was running out of options—and time.
The Journey to Germany
Two years earlier, Daniel had arrived in Germany full of hope and ambition. He had left behind a comfortable but stagnant life in Buenos Aires, where he had spent over a decade working in a mid-level position at a bank. His job had been secure, but the pay was modest, and with inflation eroding the value of the Argentine peso, his savings had little worth.
When he first considered pursuing an MBA in Germany, the idea seemed like a distant dream. It was his friends who encouraged him, insisting it was his chance to escape the economic instability of Argentina and build a better future.
But the dream had come at a steep cost. Daniel had liquidated the small savings he had, borrowed heavily from friends and relatives, and even taken out a loan to finance his education. The move had drained him emotionally and financially, but he believed the sacrifice would be worth it.
For a while, it had been. His MBA program had been rigorous and rewarding, filled with bright minds from around the world. He had thrived in the classroom, developing skills in management, strategy, and cross-cultural leadership. He had even imagined himself stepping into a high-paying corporate role after graduation, his experience in banking combined with his new knowledge making him a valuable asset.
The Harsh Reality Post-MBA
But then, reality struck. Just as he graduated, the Russia-Ukraine war sent shockwaves through the global economy, hitting Germany particularly hard. Energy prices soared, businesses tightened their budgets, and hiring slowed across industries. Companies that might have considered hiring an international MBA graduate like Daniel now preferred local candidates with German language skills.
Daniel’s inability to speak fluent German had become a significant barrier. He had underestimated just how much it would limit his opportunities, even in a cosmopolitan city like Berlin. Day after day, he sent out resumes, tailoring each application meticulously, only to receive rejections—or worse, no response at all.
With only a few weeks left on his visa, desperation had set in. The thought of returning to Argentina with no savings, a mountain of debt, and the shame of failure haunted him.
The Weight of Debt and Desperation
Daniel’s debts were a constant source of anxiety. Most of his funding had come from friends and extended family, people who had lent him money out of goodwill, believing in his dream. The thought of facing them empty-handed, with no way to repay their kindness, filled him with dread.
He had done the math over and over. Even if he found a decent job in Buenos Aires, it would take him years to repay his debts, and the prospect of earning in pesos instead of euros felt like a step backward. The idea of staying in Germany and earning in euros was a dream he wasn’t ready to give up.
Why This Job?
Daniel’s application to Chic Horizons had been an act of sheer desperation. He had applied to hundreds of jobs across every conceivable industry, from finance to logistics, from consulting to creative roles for which he had no relevant experience. He had stopped filtering his applications weeks ago, casting the widest net possible in the hope that something—anything—would come through.
When the email inviting him to an interview arrived, he had to reread it twice, convinced it was a mistake. Why would a high-end fashion company consider someone like him? But the email was real, and after a moment of shock, hope flared in his chest.
Maybe they saw something in him that he couldn’t see in himself. Maybe his outsider perspective was exactly what they needed. Or maybe, he thought grimly, they were simply desperate enough to interview someone so obviously unqualified.
Sitting Among Women
As Daniel sat in the waiting room, surrounded by confident, stylish women, his doubts grew louder. These women belonged here. They knew the industry, spoke the language, and moved through the room with an ease that he could never replicate.
He glanced at his reflection in the glass of a nearby photo frame. His suit, though professional, looked plain compared to the vibrant and bold outfits worn by the other candidates. His 35 years felt like a burden here, where youth and creativity seemed to be the currency of success.
Still, he reminded himself of why he had come to Germany in the first place. He couldn’t afford to let his insecurities win. This might not have been the job he envisioned, but it was the first opportunity he’d had in months, and he couldn’t let it slip away.
The Interview Begins
After what felt like an eternity, Daniel’s name was called. He followed the receptionist into a brightly lit office, where a woman in her late thirties sat waiting behind a minimalist desk. Her sharp, tailored suit and piercing gaze immediately commanded respect.
“Good morning, Mr. Carter,” she said, extending a hand. “I’m Amelia, the director of operations here at Chic Horizons. Please, have a seat.”
Daniel shook her hand and sat down, clutching his portfolio.
Amelia didn’t waste time with pleasantries. “Let’s start with the basics. Tell me why you’re interested in joining Chic Horizons.”
Daniel cleared his throat, trying to sound confident. “Well, I’ve always admired your campaigns, especially your focus on inclusivity and breaking traditional norms in fashion. I believe my experience in marketing could help amplify your brand’s voice and reach new audiences.”
Amelia nodded, jotting down a note. “Your qualifications are impressive, and your enthusiasm is evident,” she said. “But I need to address something upfront.”
She leaned forward slightly, her expression serious. “Our workplace dynamic is… unique. Over 90% of our staff are women, and we work closely with female models daily. It’s a highly collaborative environment, but one where certain sensitivities and boundaries are paramount. How do you see yourself fitting into such a space?”
The Gender Concern
Daniel hesitated, caught off guard by the question. “I… I see myself as someone who respects boundaries and values diversity,” he said carefully. “I’ve worked in teams with a mix of genders before, and I’ve always tried to be mindful of creating a comfortable environment for everyone.”
Amelia studied him for a moment. “That’s good to hear. But it’s not just about being mindful. In an environment like ours, even unintentional behavior can have an impact. We’ve had challenges in the past with male employees struggling to adapt to the culture here. It’s one of the reasons we’re cautious about hiring men for roles like this.”
Daniel felt his palms grow sweaty. “I understand,” he said, forcing himself to meet her gaze. “I’m willing to learn and adapt however necessary. If given the chance, I’d make it a priority to integrate respectfully and support the team’s goals.”
Amelia nodded again, her expression softening slightly. “That’s encouraging. But we don’t just take words—we take actions. If you’re offered this position, you’ll need to demonstrate your commitment to respecting and understanding the dynamics here. Are you prepared for that?”
“Yes,” Daniel said firmly, though he wasn’t entirely sure what he was agreeing to.
The interview continued with more conventional questions about his experience and skills. By the end, Daniel felt cautiously optimistic.
As Amelia stood to shake his hand, she offered a small smile. “You’re an interesting candidate, Mr. Carter. If we decide to move forward, we’ll be in touch soon. But I’ll leave you with this: working here is not just a job—it’s an exercise in understanding a different way of operating. Think about whether you’re ready for that.”
Daniel left the office with a mix of excitement and anxiety. The opportunity was incredible, but Amelia’s words lingered in his mind. What exactly did she mean by “a different way of operating”?
As he walked past the waiting area, he glanced at the remaining candidates—confident, polished women chatting easily with one another. Once again he wondered if he truly belonged in this world.
