Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: When I needed to get a new job , I decided to expand my options by looking in several different places . First , I checked my local newspaper for any job listings in the " Help Wanted " section . There was 1 job that I thought might suit me , so I circled it with a black marker and set that page aside for later . The website was really helpful because it let me search using my personal preferences , including my location , my years of experience , whether or not I had a college degree , and what type of salary I wanted to be paid . I found 10 listings that I wanted to follow up on , so I bookmarked those pages using my internet browser . Finally , I went down to the local grocery store to check out their bulletin board , since lots of local businesses post " Help Wanted " posters there . I did n't find any that interested me , so I went back home . I gathered together the information from the 11 jobs I found online and in the newspaper and sat down to decide which of the jobs I should definitely apply for and which I should consider my back-ups . I decided to apply for all of the internet jobs , but not for the job listing I found in the newspaper . The internet jobs were all related to my degree , which is in library science , so they were more relevant than the newspaper posting which was for a housekeeper . The job listing website had a feature that would let me send my resume to the companies online , so I uploaded my resume to my computer and started applying for the jobs . Question: When did they realize the only thing left to do then was wait? Option1: at the local store Option2: After applying for the jobs.
Output (English): After applying for the jobs.
