for the presidency of this company
I want to know why you think you´re right for the job
.Let´s see Patricia let´s begin with you
?What experience do you have ?and why are you here
Well, actually I don´t have experience as a secretary
I´ve never worked, but I did six semesters of finance on the San Marino
and well, I´m here because Marcela Valencia told me
that Armando was looking for a secretary
?Oh I understand. And you
Well, I don´t have experience as a secretary either
but, allow me to explain
I studied Economy at the University of Economy and Finance
And as you can see on my resume I graduated with honors
and had the highest GPA
You can find the Principal a nd the Dean as personal references
Then I did a course on accounting and after, a postgraduate on Finance
I was also an assitant on the international area of the Montreal Bank
being the VP of that area Dr Manuel José Becerre
Who is also as a reference
I manage databases, analyse finances
international commerce, feasibility analisys, costs and budgets
I am also familiar with the stock market
All the information is there
Yes, yes, I see
I am missing your pic
Why didn´t you attach it to your resume
Well, since I´ve had so many interviews I ran out of them
But I can bring one tomorrow if you want
No, don´t worry about it
Tell me something if you have this resume
?How is it that you´re applying to be a secretary
A you know, it´s competitive and I don´t have experience
I would like to begin my career
as a secretary on a company like this one
Show my abilities and rise in the company
and I don´t have a problem with the work as a secretary
I can make calls, manage a schedule, write letters
It´s very easy for me
?Of couse What about languages
Well I can kind of speak english
I speak English, French and some Italian
And are you divorced, married, ?widows, single
Well I´m divorced
I was married to Mauricio Brickman
,Brickman, of course! I know him President of Coltex Corp
The same one
I met him when I studied Finance on the San Marino
We fell in love and got married
Because of him I left the University
And well, we got divorced a year ago
I lived on Spain for a while and just returned a month ago
So I´m free at the moment
?And you
I´m single, single
Of course
Well we have your CVs
Thank you for coming we´ll be calling you
Wait! Patricia, stay for a moment
Thank you for coming. We´ll be calling you
Don´t worry, thank you
!Girls, girls! Don´t be so noisy
Oh, sorry! Girl, for God´s sake
!Good Morning everybody! Good Morning
No mija, help me hide it
They can´t see this mess
Who are they? Don Roberto Mendoza, President of the company
And his son, Don Armando who´s going to be the new President
And your boss if you´re chosen
?Why is there so much people
Hugo, he´s rehearsing with the models for the show
And Gutierrez, that´s interviewing the cantidates
to secretary of Presidency, dad
?and why aren´t you doing that personally
One should chose his own ?secretary, or not
Dad, should I do interviews, or ?review the deal with you
Let Gutiérrez take care of that. He knows what I´m looking for
Yes, I also know what you´re looking for
Hello
?Don Roberto, how are you
?What´s the meaning of this Berta
Doctor, I...I
This has no excuse
Don´t you see all the ?people that are visiting today
How are we going to look like a ?fashion company if we´re full of garbage
...Yes Doctor, what happens is that
,Nothing! Call Cleaning you have 10 min
To make this hall shine
?Did I made myself clear, Bertha
Yes, Doctor
!Go, clean! Go man
I am so sorry
No, don't worry
We're going to call you to sign the contract
Berthica! Yes, Doctor
Get rid of these people No more interviews
Girls, no more interviews for today
If anything changes we'll call you
?Why did she stay here
Maybe she still hoped to be hired
Gutiérrez, Did you made ?the right choice hiring the pretty one
The ugly one is much more prepared
Yes brother, but she´s useless for him
Armando asked me to hire his secretary and I know what he´s looking for
If I present him that thing he fires me
I can sacrifice myself by having an ugly secretary like Bertha
But a President? Noo and much less Don Armando
He gets a rash when he sees an ugly woman
?Hello Betty, mija. How was it
I think okay mom, but we have to wait
Your father has been calling all day long
Asking for you
You have to be patient mom
Mamita I already put another candle to San Pancracio
?And who is that
My love! The Saint that looks for work
The company that you applied ?to is called like EcoModa
?Yes, why
Because I read an article Mija
That could be useful if you go there
Wait, I´ll bring it
Ma´am, look at me, ma´am
!Nicolás, Nicolás
Come on! She´s divine Betty don´t you see
?How was it today
?Where were you Betty
On a Fashion company
?And
Same as always
A pretty took my spot
?What happenned with my office
Nothing Dad I brought my desk and things over here
Not that I didn´t like the design or decoration of your office
What happens is that it´s not for someone my age
...Dad, your books, your pipes We put them on boxes
We´re waiting for you to tell us what to do with them
I... I should have asked you before
But since you said to take the Presidency Not to wait until the Board´s meeting
That´s what I tried to do
No, no, it´s perfect ...What happens it that
Its just not easy to see dissapear a space you´ve spent your last
Your last thirty five years
Dad I know, but stop looking at your office like that
You´re going to have depression and it´s going to be worse
Good Afternoon, tomorrow your office will be finished Don Armando
Good, thank you Gutiérrez
Tell me, how is the search for my ?secretary going. Do we have something
Yes Don Armando, I wanted to talk to you about that
I found your secretary
?Really? Who is it
This one
?Gutiérrez, Gutiérrez, are you crazy
Sorry Doctor, I thought it was the best option
Mrs Fernández has six semesters of Finance
,And if you allow me she is very atractive
Additionally, she´s recommended by Doña Marcela
?Whats´ happening? Who is it
Patricia, Marcela´s friend, dad
?Didn´t you bring me more options
?Was she the only one you preselected
I have other CVs, but I can assure you no one is as attractive as her
?Gutiérrez how do I make you understand? How
!Did I ask for a model? No
!Did I ask you to get me Sharon Stone? No
I simply asked you to get me a secretary
,A person with two languages able to manage systems
That at least knows where the hell she´s standing
I didnt ask for a pretty woman, I asked for someone efficient
Neither did I ask for a friend of Marcela, that wil be spying on me 24 hours
Gutiérrez don´t make me lose my time ? Do you have something else
I can show you the other ones I interviewed Doctor
Go, run! And show !me the CVs, But now
Come on, Betty tell me
?You applied to what company
To EcoModa
Ecomoda
Mendoza, Valencia and partners
That company has 50 million on assets
And has annual sales of sixty thousand Pesos
One of the most profitable and reliable of the country
Look my love, the magazine Jet Set
Where the artice on EcoModa got published
What´s up Nico? Doña Julia
These are the owners of the company, mija
Today I saw this man with his son, there, at the company
I read on a economic review that there´s going to be a replacement there
On the Presidency, the old man is retiring
And leaves the Presidency in his son´s hands
? And, why is that
Why would I know? I read it on a serious magazine
Not on a Gossip´s magazine like that one
But maybe it´s there Maybe you can figure it out
I´m going to serve your dad´s food Im also bringing something for you Niquito
Thank you Doña Julia
Betty, are you sure you got rejected
Because it´s a great company
You would fit. See
Yes, it is not an option Nicolás
They almost signed the other one right in front of me as a secretary
And I heard that they needed a pretty woman for that position
?What? You applied as a secretary
Shh Yes Nicolás, let´s go to my room and I´ll explain
Dad, I´m also planning on expanding the cutting area
I´m bringing twelve machines more
Son, I´m only going to ask you not to sacrifice people´s work space
Just to bring more machines
No, machines, no
Dad I´m not going to do that Everything is going to stay as it is
I´m just going to expand the back a bit
That´s it
Doctor, here. I brought you the CVs of the prospects
?Where can we sit to go over them
Look Gutiérrez, to make this process less wastefull
,Tell me. According to you ?who is the most prepared
Well, Doctor, the most prepared has no experience as a secretary
But her only experience is as an assitant on the international area of the Bank of Monreal
?The Bank of Monreal
Yes, she even has the VP of the international area as a personal reference
Ahh Manuel José Becerra
Yes, yes, Doctor. she also has the Dean and the Principal
Of the University of Economy and Finance
Apparently she graduated with honors and with the highest GPA
?Who is she
...Well, she's called Beatriz Beatriz... Beatriz Pinzón Solano
She´s an economist, with a thesis on finance, manages systems perfectly
...Speaks English, French knows financial analysis
International commerce, some ..stock market. Well
She has a very rich Curriculum in studies
...What I find very strange is that
Why is a woman with her preparation ?aspiring to the position of secretary
Because I got tired Nicolás! I got tired of looking a position as an executive
No one is going to hire me as an assistant and much less as an executive
My studies, my intership on the Bank Monreal are worthless
My references... Ive been to over !ten companies and nothing
My last choice was to look for a position as a secretary
What´s in it for you to work as ?a secretary of a company
She told me that as the market was so saturated
She prefered to begin as a secretary, show her abilities
Rise in the company... and that secretary work wouldn´t be hard
The only thing left to is to confirm that everything on her CV is true
Well, that is easy to confirm with Manuel José
...But I have a interrogative A question Gutiérrez
Tell me, if you interviewed someone with that good of a curriculum
...Someone so prepared
Why did you end up choosing ? Patricia Fernández
What? Did she show you her ?legs and you went dumb
Or not, I know... Marcela ?ordered it, right
...No, no Doctor that isn´t it What happens is that she has a little problem
?"What "little problem
She´s ugly
? Ugly? How ugly
Show me the picture in the CV
There it is, but she didn´t put a picture
?Why
Because my CV is very good, what ruins it is the picture
Yes, It´s true Nicolas. Remember that they warned us in College
If youre ugly dont include a picture because they´ll discard you
We ignored them and see
Everyone is impressed when they see my CV, but then they see the pic and reject me
It´s a casting problem
?Casting
Yes, in other words... Everyone rejects me because im ugly
No, no, it isn´t that Betty. Look
What happens is that neither of us can aspire to an executive position
Don´t you see that we don´t have any professional experience
That´s why no one welcomes you
Claudia Guzmán finished College and immediatetly began working
As regional manager of Atinza
Roberto Gómez is on the Central Bank
Alejandra Ruís is a credits analyst at Sanchez Figueroa
Practically all our classmates got good executive jobs except for the two of us
No one wants to welcome us and that´s because we´re ugly
No, no
There is a possibility we haven´t tried yet
We haven´t asked for job on a circus
Imagine. Come and see the hideous humans in the Economists´cage
They can also hire us to scare the lions when they get rebellious
Yes Nicolás, no one wants us because we´re ugly
Thats what caused my departure of the Bank Monreal
Thank you Manuel José.
See you.. That... yes. Wednesday at the Club Perfect, good bye
?What did he say dad
That everything is true
It is true that she worked on the Bank, it is true that she has all those studies
And that it is true, as Gutiérrez says, that she is very ugly
But she recommended her a lot
He told me that she is an incredible woman
That she can reeplace anyone at the Bank in any position
And that if we hire her we would be getting an exceptional professional
Gutiérrez, to have an idea, tell me ?Is she uglier than you
A bit more Don Armando
How to explain. The face is ugly
But what truly ruins her is the body
But the worst part is that she dresses badly
She doesn´t have a good appearance
And much less to be secretary for Presidency
That´s why I disqualified her
Well you´ll see. Didnt you want a ?prepared woman instead of a pretty woman
You decide
Let´s see. Gutiérrez call her for tomorrow
Let´s see once and for all how ugly she is
Way to ugly for a world like this
I would never fit on a fashion company
It´s beautiful people, with class
EcoModa, one of the most important companies of design and confection
Released a new colllection in their ostentatious show room
Keep reading Betty, lets see if they know why the man in retiring
The event´s hosts. Roberto Mendoza, President of EcoModaand and his wife, Margarita Saénz
Announced that next month they are moving permanently to their house in London
As always, very close and smiling
They look like a happy couple
?Roberto what´s happening You´ve been worried since last night
Actually, you´ve been worried since you decided to leave the company
Love, could it be that you aren´t ?sure about retiring
Of course I am sure, I´m truly tired
And it´s time to let the company to the younger ones
But if this is going to cause trouble with the Valencia I won´t be able to sleep
Look at Armando and Daniel, they´ve been talking for over half an hour
And honestly, I don´t like the tone they are using
Enjoy the company´s last party Armando
I´ll probably be the last one
The next one will be its funeral, because you Armando
Are going to make sure to bury one of the
most important fashion companies of the country
And its thirty five years of work
You too Daniel, enjoy the party
Because the next one will be to celebrate the profits it´s going to make under my lead
The number are going to be so high that neither your bile nor your ego
Are going to be able to stand it. So, the service we´re going to attend will be yours
But don´t worry, I´m going to send a beautiful bouquet of gardenias
To go with your coffin
I hope you´re not discussing once again about the presidency
Dad, Daniel hasn´t been able to recover from the news
He won´t be able to get over not getting the Presicency of EcoModa
Daniel I thought it was clear enough
If after the first year Armando hasn´t reached the goals he promissed
You will assume the Presidency. I don´t see what else to discuss
I hope there is something left to manage
I want to manage a patrimony, not ashes
Armando is going to put EcoModa in a cremation oven
You know, maybe I´ll put EcoModa´s ashes in the same urn with my parents´ ashes
Enough! I don´t want to touch this subject until the next meeting
When Armando takes the Presidency
In the meantime not a single word
!Specially not here, please
Excuse me sirs, a picture for the magazine Jet Set
Smile Armando, it might be the last time you do it
When the magazine comes out, look for the picture and cut it
Because it might be the last time you smile
Well that we have to see
Next year when we launch next season my smile will be much bigger than now
And you´re going to be older, a bit more wrinkled
You know what, you should also save that magazine
It´s going to be the evidence of how a man could age of envy in only a year
!Daniel, smile
In the picture, Roberto Mendoza with his son, Armando Mendoza
Who will take assume the Presidency of EcoModa, starting next week
Next is Daniel Valencia, stockholder of the company
And who was also a cantidate for succeeding Roberto
The Mendoza and Valencia, two inseparable families
I thought he and his son were the only owners of the company
From what I understand the Valencia own a half of the company
And Daniel Valencia doesn't work for the company
He's a high executive of the government
Yes, I know, he's the manager of Financial Resources
They look like very close families
And not only because of the company, look
Armando Mendoza and his beautiful fiance, Marcela Valencia
Are together only by the company, but have been in love for two year now
Wedding bellls are ringing
They're getting married
Your gilfriends are going to kill you when they see you hugging me
?But, my love, why ?What girlfriends
You're talking with your future and monogamous husband
That was a very nice the picture
You know, you have a mazanine romance
The only times I've seen him affectionate with you is when a photographer is near
Ha Ha Ha Ha Good one
We don't like PDA, and don't judge, you haven't seen us when we're alone
