The text

After graduating from university, Tom applied for a job and was asked to go for an interview. He was interviewed by a tall young man with fair hair that he thought he recognized. 

It soon became clear that the man knew exactly who Tom was. He reminded him that they were in the same class at school. He had left school without going to university and was now the manager of the company.
