When Earlyseven Strikeland Never Broke, the personnel officer for C Feeds, received the Tutti Frutti application file, he immediately understood the difficulty he was facing. His real name, Restituo Froto, had applied for a job in the sales and marketing department because there were still many openings. The personnel officer's real name was Agapito Hampaslupa-Dimagiba, and he had reservations about Tutti's ability to learn and perform well on the job. Tutti's application stated that she had recently graduated with a business degree and had never held a full-time job. Despite the fact that his application and letter of recommendation were both excellent, Agapito had reservations about Tutti's ability to succeed at the department; Tutti had been a babysitter for the Dagdag family and lived on the same block; her greatest recommendation was a letter from Ms. Dimitria Dagdag, known as Demi More, the company's General Manager, who characterized Tutti as an excellent worker and "the kind of person our company needed to recruit." Ms. Dagdag would probably be pleased if we hired Tutti because he would be a very pleasant and helpful employee. But could he complete the assignment?
