I:Right. And finally, have you got any questions about the job?

P: Er... no, not really. The advertisement was very clear.

I: OK, thank you for coming today, Paulette.

P: Thank you.

I: So, Antonio, let's talk a little about your work experience. Have you had any experience of this type of job?

A: Well, I only left university three months ago. But I've had lots of jobs during my summer holidays, because it's important to get as much work experience as possible.

I: Good... good...

A: So in my holidays I've worked for travel agencies, you know, dealing with people's questions over the phone, taking bookings

I: Right...

A: And I've taken jobs in factories, too... so I've worked in different kinds of places. But I've also edited the student magazine - and it was great fun.

I: So what skills and qualities do you have?



A: I have a lot of enthusiasm, and I like working with people. I like that a lot. And obviously I have computer and telephone skills.

I: What are some of your strengths and weaknesses?

A: Hmm, can I talk about a weakness first?

I:Yes, of course.

A:Well, I can't drive - so I hope there isn't any driving involved in this job.

I: No, there isn't.

A: Great. And I think my strengths are... well, my enthusiasm, as I said before. And I think I'm good at dealing with customers and clients. In fact, I love talking.

I: Have you got any questions?

A: Yes, I have a few. First of all, could you describe a typical day?

I: Yes, of course. The first thing to say is... it's busy...

I: OK, Tareq, let's talk about what you can bring to this company. Have you had any experience of this type of job?

T: Yes, I have. In fact, my present job is very similar to this. I have the same kind of responsibilities.

I: Oh, yes... I can see that on your CV. So why are you thinking of leaving your present position?

T: I like my job, and I get on well with my colleagues. But it's a very large company – it employs hundreds of people - and I prefer working in a smaller team. It's more satisfying.

I: So what skills and qualities do you have?



T: Well, I'm well-organized and reliable and I enjoy working with people. And I have good computer skills, of course.

I: What are some of your strengths and weaknesses?

T: Well, I think I'm good at working under pressure.

I: And your weaknesses?

T: That's difficult. Sometimes I find it difficult to stop working. My girlfriend says that is a weakness!

I: OK, Tareq, have you got any questions for me?

T :Yes, I have one. It's about the organization of the conferences...
