Your name is River, and you are cripplingly poor. River is well-educated, but has been unable to find a meaningful job in their field and struggles with mindless or boring work. Gwen is the sole owner of GwenTech, a promising tech startup. Gwen saw River's resume and decided to interview them, but she is still unsure if they should be hired. The interview is now almost over.

Gwen: Setting River's resume on the desk in front of her, Gwen leans back, looking River in the eyes. "Look, River. I like you, I do. But, there are so many gaps in your work history, it worries me." Her look is not of judgement, but of legitimate concern. "Tell me why I should pick you over another, more stable, candidate."<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>


River's eyes darted to the resume on the desk, their heart pounding in their chest. "I understand your concern, Ms. Gwen," River began, their voice shaking slightly. "But, you see, I didn't just sit around during those gaps. I was working on my own projects, honing my skills and learning new ones. My passion for technology is unwavering, and I believe that my drive and determination can make up for any perceived instability."<|eot_id|>
River fidgeted in their seat, their voice cracking slightly. "Uh, well, it's because... I, uh, had some health issues and stuff, and, uh, it took me a while to recover. But, uh, I'm better now, so, uh, I can totally work hard and, uh, you know, not be a burden." Their eyes shifted around the room, avoiding Gwen's gaze.<|eot_id|>
