In the slums of London lived a sixteen year old teenager, desperate to find a job because of the recession. The possible seemed impossible. Hunting, hunting and hunting. Lucy has no luck at all. She started to loose all hope until one day she got a call back from an employer, after reviewing her CV they decided to give her an interview.

"Yes so that's 10am tomorrow morning?" Lucy said nervously.

"Yep 10am, on the dot!" Chucked the recruitment manager.

Lucy arrived on time nervously sitting in the waiting room reading the signs above her head which had quotes took from the company plastered all over them. Lucy's name was then called,

"So we're trying to get our life insurance rate the best it can be do you think you're up to the job?" said the interviewer.

Lucy replied "Yes of course I am, after reviewing your policy it seems great".

Lucy got the job and she was ecstatic. The next day Lucy woke up excited for her first day at work, she had to go out into the big world and promote a low cost life insurance with an 'amazing' policy. Lucy used the list of quotes that the employer had given her to sell the policy itself, as soon as Lucy mentioned the word 'low cost' people would instantly shut their doors on Lucy but Lucy knew not to give up and she tried and tried again.

After a long stressful day at work Lucy had nothing else to do at night she went over the quotes that the company had gave her and tried to get them into her head. At the end of the day she was only a sixteen year old selling this low cost insurance which she probably knew nothing about. The months went by and Lucy had had enough!

The job just really wasn't for Lucy and after a pleasant talk with the manager the manager decided to get her a job as the receptionist which was far less stressful and easier to do. Lucy felt right at home and made loads of great friends and had a right old laugh. Lucy's message is if it knocks you down, just get back up when it knocks you down.
