Woman:Well，your CV seems pretty well up to scratch．Now I wonder，can you tell me about yourself?
Man：Um．well，I think I am serious-minded．I am calm．
Womarl．：You’re calm?
Man：Yes，well，I like a joke，though，good sense of humor．I don’t panic in a crisis and I enjoy working with all kinds of people．I even like people who are，you know，bad-tempered or something like that．
Woman：Yes，but where do you see yourself，in，let’s say，five years’time?
Man：Well，I am sort of a long-range thing．I see myself in the public relations and one day I must admit I would rather like to open up my own consultant in my hometown．
Woman：What is specifically about Sino-European that attracted you?
Man：Well．First of all，I want to leave my present employers because they’re a small company and I know about Sino-European，I mean，they’re a good company，larger．I think 1 will have more scope，the work will be more challenging．I mean，quite a lot of what I do at present is quite boring，it‘s routine secretarial work．
Woman：And you like to move on?
Man：Yes．if I could．You know，hopefully to a job that gives me more opportunities．So I can use my initiative．
Woman：Mhm．
Man:Can I just ask you this question?I’d like to know if I get the job with SincrEuropean，would I be able to work abroad in one of your overseas branches?
Woman：Oh，yes，certainly．Our staff regularly do six-month placements in other branches．So I am sure you might．
Man：Six．Oh，well．、That’s good．That is what I am interested irL
Woman：Can I know what you consider your strengths and your weaknesses?
Man：Well。I mentioned before，I think nay sense of humor and my ability to work with all types of people is a particular strength．
Woman：Yes．
Man：My weakness?I don’t know．I suppose I am a bit of a perfectionist．I am quite often dissatisfied with what I have done．I always think I can do it better in a different way．
Woman：I wouldn’t call that a weakness．I’d call that a strength．
Man：That’s good．I mean，apart from that I suppose I get a little bit sort of gull of the Wanderlust and that’s why I want to travel．I am easily bored with repletion and procedure．
Woman：Do you have a lack of commitment?
Man：No，not at a11．
Woman：Now is there anything else you’d like to ask me?
Man：Yes．If I can just get down to the nitty-gritty：would the salary be reviewed every six months?And after half a year you’d also be eligible to share in the company’s bonus scheme．
Woman：Right．Well，time is pressing on，I am afraid．So thank you very much for coming to see me and we will be in touch with you before the end of the week．
Man：Good．Well．thank you for seeing me．
Woman：Goodbve．
Man：Bye．
