When Iyer Announced..

Chapter 1

Flipping through the papers, Sylvia sighed with a relief. At last few candidates struggled to pass through the test. It was a struggle to get candidates who suited the job and also who did fairly well in the test. The youngster group belonged to the 'Next Gen' giggled and made the place lively.

Recruiting youngsters for a night shift job was a task. Even trivial matters sounded big, and she had to use all her tactics to convince the youngsters to get into the job.

The biggest task was to convince the parents ensuring their wards safety. She had to impress the youngsters telling that bridging technology with education is a novel experience that help them to be computer savvy and techno-savvy.
