Mr. Williams: Good morning, Mr. Pitt. Do sit down.
Mr. Pitt: Thank you.
Mr. W.: First of all, Mr. Pitt, I’d like you to tell me a bit about what you’ ye been doing.
Mr. P.: Well, I left school after I’d done my A-levels.
Mr. W.: Ah, yes, A-levels. What subjects did you take?
Mr. P.: I took four subjects: French, German. chemistry and, uh, art. Chemistry wash’t my cup of tea but art has always been.
Mr. W.: Art?
Mr. P.: Well, I really wanted to study Art. It didn’t turn out like that because a friend of my father’ s offered me a job—he’ s an accountant in London. A quite big firm, you know.
Mr. W.: I see. A fLrm of accountants. Interesting! In your application, you say that you 0nly spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that?
Mr. P.: It was nearly a year actually. Well, to be quite honest, I didn’t llke it. I just couldn’t seem to get interested in the job although there were fairly good prospects. So I got a place at the Art College to do a three-year diploma course.
Mr. W.: I see. Now, Mr. Pitt, what about hobbies and interests? Uh, what do you do in your spare time?
Mr. P.: I like jazz, traditional and folk music. I don’ t play, of course, but I go to quite a lot of concert.s, and I go to the theatre occasionally and act a bit myself. I’ m in the local dramatic society. I read quite a lot and I’ ve done a bit of photography. Also, I’ ye travelled a lot --hitchhiked all over Europe --last year, that was.
Mr. W.: Very interesting, Mr. Pitt. I think that’ s all I wanted to ask about your background. Now, let’ s talk about the management trainee scheme. What exactly do you think a manager does?
Mr. P.: I don’ t know a great deal about the work.
Mr W But have you got any ideas about it? You must have thought about it.
Mr. P.: Well, er, I suppose he has a lot of, ar, what is called, policy-making to do. And, mm, he’ d have to know how to work with people and all about the company.
Mr. W.: Mmm.
Mr. P.: Yes, I, I, er, should think a manager must know, er, something about all aspects of the work.
Mr. W.: Yes, that’ s right. We like our executive staff to undergo a thorough training. Young men on our trainee scheme have to work through every branch in the company.
Mr. P.: Oh?
Mr. W.: And one of them is accountancy. Presumably you wouldn’t like that.
Mr. P.: Well, if I had to do it, I suppose. But I was thinking that my French and German would mean that I could specialise in overseas work. I’ d like to be some sort Of an export salesman and travel abroad.
Mr. W.: You know the glamour of travelling abroad disappears when you’ ve got a hard job of work to do. It’ not all fun and game.
Mr. P.: Oh, yes, I realise that. It’ s just that my knowledge of languages would be useful.
Mr. W.: Now, Mr. Pitt, is there anything you want to ask me?
Mr. P.: Well, there’ s one Or two things. I’ d like to know if I’ d have to sign a contract and what the salary and prospects are.
Mr. W.: With our scheme, Mr. Pitt, there is no contract involved. Your progress is kept under constant review. If we, at any time, decide we don’ t like you, then that’ s that! We reserve the right to dismiss you.
Mr. P.: I see.
Mr. W.: Of course, you have the same choice about us.
Mr. P.: Fair enough. And what about the salary?
Mr. W.: As for salary, you’ d be on our fixed scale starting at 870 pounds. For the successful trainee, the prospects are very good.
Mr. P.: I see. Thank you very much.
Mr. W.: That’ s all, Mr. Pitt. You should hear from us in a couple of weeks, one way or the other, or we may ask you to come back for another chat. Thank you.
Mr. P.: Goodbye, Mr. Williams.
