May Lee applied for a job. The company asked her to come for an interview. Read May Lee’s interview. What job is she applying for?

Interviewer: Good morning, Mrs Lee. Did you have problems finding us?

May: No, no problem at all.

Interviewer: Good. Well then, please take a seat.

May: Thank you.

Interviewer: So, you want to work for ACE Stores? Have you worked in a supermarket before, Mrs Lee?

May: No, but I worked in a shop. I was a stockroom assistant.

Interviewer: So why are you applying for this job?

May: Well, I enjoy my present job but it’s a long way from home. It takes me an hour to get to work. This job looks interesting and it’s near home.

Interviewer: I see. Most staff here work early and late shifts. Can you do that?

May: Sorry, I don’t understand. Could you explain?

Interviewer: Yes of course. It means that some staff work from 8 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon. That’s the early shift.Others work from 3 until 10 at night. That’s the late shift. So one week you work the early shift, the next week you work the late shift.

May: I see. That’s fine.

Interviewer: Is there anything you would like to ask me?

May: Yes. Do staff have to wear a uniform?

Interviewer: There’s a company T-shirt.

May: And what about the pay? Do you pay weekly or monthly?

Interviewer: Weekly.

May: That’s fine.

Interviewer: Do you have any more questions?

May: No, I think that’s all.

Interviewer: Well, thank you for coming. We’ll let you know in a couple of days.
