W: I have been looking through your application. You seem to have many of the qualifications needed for this position, especially experience.
M: I have been working in hotels for eight years.
W: That’s actually a long time. Were you satisfied with your last position?
M: To be honest, not entirely. The boss was very touchy and hard m get along with. And chances for advancement were very limited.
W: I see. Was it hard work?
M: No, it was an interesting job and I loved meeting people. I know how to handle a bad- tempered guest. But I had an argument with my boss and he just asked me to go. Anyhow I’d like to try something new.
W: But have you ever done anything to do with tour guide?
M: I did work for a short time as a courier for a tour operator, taking foreigners on guided tours of London. Perhaps that’s the sort of thing you mean.
W: Yes, I think it is. Do you speak any other languages?
M: Yes, I do. I speak German and Spanish--I spent years abroad when I was young.
W: That’s very interesting. Next is the question of salary, of course.
M: Well, I used to get 3,000 yuan monthly, so I couldn’t accept less than that.
W: We ask for loyalty and hard work from our employees. But we pay well, and opportunities for promotion depend on merit, not just on age or seniority. I suppose you know that.
M: I am very interested in working for your agency. And I don’t mind hard work and working overtime.
W: That’s fine. I have a few more applicants to interview today for this position. But at the moment, your chances look very good.
M: I’m glad to hear that. Thank you for your time.
W: Thank you for your coming. We will be in touch with you shortly.
