Extrait

Connor

Julia, got a minute? I’ve just been offered a position at one of the bigger fitness studios downtown, and I’m honestly not sure what to make of it.

Julia

Well, that’s huge. Were you expecting the call, or did it come out of left field?

Connor

I interviewed there last week, but I’d all but written it off. I’d more or less assumed they’d gone with someone with a longer track record.

Julia

Then they clearly have better judgment than you’re giving them credit for. What would the role actually entail?

Connor

I’d be training new instructors and overseeing the evening programs, so I’d teach a class here and there rather than running every one myself.
