I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance company. I told him honestly why I wanted the job-I needed to keep my family in Boston. My wife recently died of a heartattack . A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma (精神创伤) and painof the loss for my 16-year-old daughter. It was important for me to keep her in her high school. I couldstill hardly talk about the loss of my wife. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didn'tprobe (彻底调查) any further. He admitted my loss and, with great respect, moved on to anothersubject. After the next round of the interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another person. Then heasked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife. And, like me, he had alsobeen married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, if I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know thathe was there if I ever needed help. When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of the greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview into a caring support for another person in need.1.The writer took part in the interview because _______
