M: Good morning.
W: Good morning. Have a seat, please.
M: Thank you.
W: I have been looking through your application. You seem to have many qualifications needed for this position, especially experience.
M: I have been working in hotels for eight years now.
W: Oh, really. That’s actually a long time. Were you satisfied with your last position?
M: To be honest, not entirely. The boss was touchy and hard to get along with. And chances for advancement were limited.
W: I see. Was it hard work?
M: No, it was an interesting job and I loved meeting people. I knew how to handle a bad-tempered guest. Anyhow I’d like to try something new.
W: But have you ever done anything to do with tour—tour guides?
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 foreign languages?
M: Yes, I do. I speak German and Spanish—you see, l spent several years abroad when I was young.
W: Oh, did you? That’s very interesting. Next question is salary, of course.
M: Well, I used to get $ 2,000 monthly, so I couldn’t accept less than that.
W: Well, 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.
M: I’m 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 coming. We will be in touch with you shortly.
