[originaltext]W: Mr. Suzuki, thank you for coming in today. Please have a seat.

W: Mr. Suzuki, thank you for coming in today. Please have a seat. I’ve looked over your resume and wanted to meet you to ask you a few questions.
M: Thank you for asking me to come in.
W: First, can you tell me a little about yourself?
M: Certainly. I majored in English literature in college, and spent a full year in London studying. After graduation, I worked for Fuji Bank for three years, and then went to work for a trading company. I’m an enthusiastic and self-motivated person. I try very hard to be successful in my work. I can work well under pressure and enjoy doing work that challenges me.
W: Then why do you want to leave your company?
M: I do enjoy my job, but I believe I am ready for more challenging work now.
W: OK. What are your strong points?
M: As I mentioned, I can work well under pressure and I enjoy work that challenges me.
W: And your weaknesses?
M: I think I sometimes try to be over-organized. So I am learning how to concentrate on the most important parts of my job.
W: I see from your resume that you have no experience working with foreign companies. May I ask why you now wish to do so?
M: I think my Japanese and English speaking ability can be very useful to a foreign company.
W: Why are you interested in our company, in particular?
M: Well, I know that your company is planning to expand in Japan and the rest of Asia. So, I think it’s an exciting time for you and i think I could play a small part in helping you grow. As I said, I’m very self-motivated and want to feel I’m making a contribution to my company.
W: Mr. Suzuki, thank you again for coming in, and we’ll be in touch with you in the next few days.
M: Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.
