Reconcilers, Inc.

Re: Job Appplication

Allow us to introduce ourselves: we are Reconcilers, Incorporated. We're a group of young teens who've formed this new partnership to help advise people on how to go about reconciling with someone they've hurt. And we understand that you are interested in a position with our firm. The following application will help us decide if you are a fit for us.

Scenario #1: Jenni's Jealousy
Jenni's friend Maura just made the cheerleading squad, and Jenni didn't. Maura's so excited about it she can't seem to stop talking about the squad and the practices and the cute little uniforms. Jenni is burning up with jealousy and stops talking to Maura. In fact, she doesn't speak with Maura for almost two months! Jenni wants to make things right with Maura. As an employee of Reconcilers, Inc., what would you suggest to her?




Scenario #2: Mike's Mouth
Mike can't shut up! He blabs about everything anyone tells him. And when Carson shares some really personal and confidential stuff about his parents, Mike makes sure everyone in the youth group knows all about it. Carson is really hurt and embarrassed. Mike feels terrible about what he's done. As an employee of Reconcilers, Inc., what would you suggest to him?




Scenario #3: Ryan's Rumor
Ryan's not even sure why he did it. Maybe it was because he was trying to impress people. Whatever the reason, the damage was done now. Ryan made up a rumor about Grace. He'd told people she'd had sex with a couple guys he knows. And everyone believed him! Ryan doesn't think there's any way he can repair the damage he's done without everyone hating him. As an employee of Reconcilers, Inc., what would you suggest to him?
