INTERVIEWER: Good morning, Miss ... , could I have you name?

CANDIDATE: Miss Evans. '

INTERVIEWER: So, Miss Evans, I gather you'd like to join our company.

CANDIDATE: Yes, I would.

INTERVIEWER: I'm happy to hear this. Your CV seems pretty well. But, perhaps you could tell me a little bit more about yourself.

CANDIDATE: Oh yes, right. Well, I finished school at 18 and then worked for two years with Johnson & Johnson, you might know them, they're an engineering firm. After that I moved on to my present company, that's Gabriel Marketing. I've been with them for three years now, first working with the Marketing Director and now I'm with the Sales Director.

INTERVIEWER: Now, could you explain why do you want to leave your present employers?

CANDIDATE: Well, at the moment most of my duties is rather routine secretarial-type work and I would like to move to a job that gives me more opportunity. Doing a job of a Branch Manager I can use my initiative. Also traveling will let me use my language skills. I mean French and German.

INTERVIEWER: That's all very interesting, Miss Evans. I'd like to know, what is it specifically about our company, I mean Anglo-European Ltd., that attracted you?

CANDIDATE: Well, I know the reputation of Anglo-European and it is very good, it has branches in many countries. And I feel that I would have more scope and opportunity in your company and that the work will be more challenging for me. I hope I might be able to travel and use my languages.

INTERVIEWER: Very good, that might be very useful. Thank you very much for coming to see me and we'll be in touch with you before the end of the week.

CANDIDATE: Good. Well, thank you for seeing me.

INTERVIEWER: Good-bye.

CANDIDATE: Good-bye.
