Tom Richards: Um... strengths and weaknesses? Haha. Well, I … I mentioned before, I think my sense of
humour... er... and my ability to work with all types of people is a particular strength.
Interviewer: Yes.
Tom Richards: My weakness? I don't know, I suppose I'm a bit of a perfectionist... I... I'm quite often dis-
satisfied with what I've done. I always think I can do it better, you know, or in a different way. Interviewer: I
wouldn't call that a weakness, I'd call that a strength.
Tom Richards: Well... ah... well, that's good, well... I mean, apart from that I... I suppose I get a little bit
sort of full of the 'Wanderlust' and that's why I want to travel. I'm easily bored with repetition and... er... and pro-
cedure.
Interviewer: Do you have a lack of commitment?
Tom Richards: No, not at all. No... er... once my goals are set and I've got the right sort of initiative then...
er... I... I'm as committed as anybody.
Interviewer: Not one of these people who wanders off?
Tom Richards: No, not at all.
Interviewer: Now... um... i ... is there anything else you'd like to ask me?
Tom Richards: Aha... yes, if I can just get down to the nitty-gritty; would the salary be reviewed at the end
of the year?
Interviewer: Yes, the salary wi... the salary would be reviewed every six months. And after six months
you'd also be eligible to share in the company's bonus scheme.
Tom Richards: Oh, I didn't know that. Oh, that's good, yes.
Interviewer: Right, well... um... time is pressing on, I'm afraid, so thank you very much for coming to see
me and we'll be in touch with you before the end of the week.
Tom Richards: Good. Well, thank you for seeing me.
Interviewer: Goodbye.
Tom Richards: Bye.
