PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! 20 ptsRead this sentence from the story.A few days later, I was sitting down with John, one of the executive editors of the newspaper chain, hearing all the daunting details of being a cub reporter.Which earlier part of the story does this sentence refer to?The narrator is not sure which kind of writer she wants to become.The narrator interviews for a job for which she is not qualified.The narrator has a long and challenging job search.The narrator is panicking during her first day on the job.The passage prior to the text: I was in full-on panic mode. Here I was on my first day as an inexperienced reporter having to cover an important story with little guidance. I was starting to regret my decision to take the job. What was I doing here? I wasnt a journalism major. I didnt have a beat. I didnt even know all the rules about dealing with sources and off-the-record information.The previous spring, Id taken up my boss on his offer and stayed at my part-time job through the summer after college. He gave me more hours, so I was making more money, but I didnt yet have the responsibility of a real job. Id been an English major and wanted to be a writer, though I had no idea what kind of writer. Id taken the summer to think about things and prepare for a fall job search.By the time I began the search for my first full-time job, the job market was in bad shape. During my first few months looking for a job, I sent out countless resumes and only had one interview. Unfortunately, I was very unqualified for the job at the time. Then a woman I worked with at my part-time job told me about a reporter position opening up at the newspaper chain where her daughter worked. Though Id never thought about being a reporter, I figured it couldnt hurt to go on the interview. In addition to interview experience, the opportunity meant I was officially networking. All the job search materials Id read stressed the importance of networking in finding a job.
