Sue Jones: And they do ... they do consultancy work for companies operating in the UK and European
markets. Er ... our clients come from all over the world ... um ... we deal with some of them by ... by post, but
most of them come to our offices and at least once during a project. I assist the Sales Director by arranging
these visits, setting up meetings and presentations and I ... I deal with all her correspondence. I've not been able
to go with her on any ... on any of her trips abroad, but I ... I've been to firms in this country, several times on
my own ... um ... to make these arrangements.
Interviewer: It sounds as if you're very happy there, Miss Jones. I'm curious why you'd like to leave them
and join our company?
Sue Jones: Well ... um ... I know the reputation of Anglo-European and it has a very good reputation. And
I feel that I would have more scope and opportunity in your company and the work would be more challenging
for me. I might be able to possibly travel and use my languages because at the moment most of my work is... is
rather routine secretarial-type work and I like the idea of more ... um ... challenges in my life really.
Interviewer: Yes, aha, aha.
Discuss the following points:
a) Sue's work experience
b) The responsibilities of the PA to the Sales Director
c) Sue's reasons for getting the job
Second interview
Interviewer: ... yes, well, your CV seems pretty well up to scratch. Now, I wonder, can you tell me more
about yourself?
Tom Richards: Um ... well, I ... .
Interviewer: Yes?
Tom Richards: I... I'm... well, I think I'm serious... serious-minded, I... calm ... .
Interviewer: You're calm?
Tom Richards: Yes, well, yes, I like a joke, though, good sense of humour, I don't panic in a crisis and I...
I enjoy working with all kinds of people. I... I even like... um... p... people who are, you know, bad-tempered or
something like that.
Interviewer: Yes, but wh... where do you see yourself in let's say five years' time?
Tom Richards: Um ... well, I... sort of the long-range thing. Well, I... I see myself in the public relations
and... er... well, one day I must admit I would rather like to open up my own consultancy in my own home
town.
Interviewer: Mhm, what is it specifically about Anglo-European PR that attracted you?
Tom Richards: Er... well, first of all, I want to leave my present employers because they're a small com-
pany and... er... I know about Anglo-European PR, I mean, they're a... they're a good company, larger. I think
I'll have more scope,.. er... the work will be more challenging. I mean, quite a lot of what I do at present is quite
boring, it's... it's routine secretarial work.
Interviewer: And... and you'd like to move on?
Tom Richards: Yes, if I could, you know, hopefully to a job that gives me more opportunity. So I can use
my initiative.
Interviewer: Mhm.
Tom Richards: Can I just ask you this question? Excuse me... I'd like to know if I get this job with Anglo-
European, would I be able to... um... work abroad in one of your overseas branches?
Interviewer: Oh, yes, certainly.
Tom Richards: Oh, good.
Interviewer: Um... our staff regularly do six-month placements in other branches.
Tom Richards: Six. Oh well, that's good.
Interviewer: So I'm sure you might ... .
Tom Richards: Um... that's what I'm interested in.
Interviewer: Mhm. Can. I... d... I know we're all human beings here and I'd like to know wh ... what you
consider your strengths and your weaknesses.
