W: Good morning, Mr. Johnson. I’ve come here for an interview.
M: Nice to have you here. Well, I think you have probably had a fair idea about what sort of job you applied for.
W: Yes, it was clearly explained in the advertisement for application under the column of personnel on your website.
M: I see from your letter of application that you’ve got quite a lot of experience as a secretary already.
W: Yes. I worked for my last company for over eight years.
M: So why did you leave?
W: Actually, I didn’t leave. You see from my resume that our company was forced to go bankrupt two years ago because of poor management.
M: OK. Now perhaps you would tell me what sort of qualities you’d look for if you were in my shoes.
W: Well, to begin with, I’d say she needs to be hardworking. But most importantly, the secretary of a manager should be able to do a lot of things on her own initiative.
M: I appreciate that much. I see from the report the personnel department sent me that you did reasonably well in the shorthand(速记)and typing test. I suppose you can keep the minutes at meetings.
W: I’m quite efficient at such work.
M: That sounds fine. One more question, how do you feel about sharing an office room with your boss? We are a bit short of space here as you see.
W: From a secretary’s point of view, I think it’s much better because there will not be many chances of her superior forgetting to let her know about important matters.
M: I agree. Well, thank you so much. I’ll let you know the result no later than next Monday.
