W: Hello, Mr. Wilson. My name’s Jane Smith and I’m the personnel manager.
M: Hello. How do you do?
W: Now, this is just a short preliminary interview. I’d like to talk about your present job and what you’ve done up till now.
M: Yes, of course.
W: Well, could you tell me how long you’ve had your present position in Evening News. It is Evening News, isn’t it?
M: Yes, that’s right. Um, I’m not sure. Let me see. I left university in 2003...is that right? Yes, 2003. Then I was unemployed for about two months, and then I traveled, round Britain for a few weeks, so it must be more than three years now in fact.
W: Um...yes. And have you any particular reason for wanting to change jobs? I mean, why do you want to move?
M: Well, I actually like my present job and still find it interesting. The salary’s OK so it’s nothing to do with money. Though you can always do with more. I suppose the thing is that I’m really very ambitious and keen to get promoted, so that’s the real reason.
W: You say you like your job. Can you tell me what aspect you like most?
M: That’s difficult. There are so many things. The colleagues are quite nice to go along with so there’s a good cooperative atmosphere. And compared to other presses the working conditions are great. I mean, the office itself is good.
W: Urn, yes. We are looking for someone who isn’t a clock-watcher and who isn’t too concerned about working fairly long hours.
M: Oh, I don’t mind that. I’m used to it. I often work irregular hours. I was very often made to work at weekends.
W: Good. Thank you.
