What kind of job is the man applying for?

M: Good morning.
W: Good Morning. Please sit down. Why do you want to be a journalist?
M: Because I’ve always been interested in language and writing.
W: Since you’re a graduate, you are older than the trainee we’re looking for. Why did you apply for the job?
M: My age may be wrong. But my preparation for the job is right.
W: You are from London. We like our reporters to have local connections. Did you live at home while you were at the university?
M. No. I rented a flat. I enjoyed the freedom, the contacts and the friendship.
W: Apart from your studies, what did you do with your time at London University?
M. Much of it was spent on research of the kind I would have to do for a newspaper.
W: What else?
M: In my final year I helped with the student newspaper, and I also tried broadcasting on local radio. I presented a weekly student programme called "Forum". Writing for radio and producing a programme was exciting and rewarding. We had a strict time table.
W: You have to work against the clock like that on a newspaper. You didn’t waste your time.
M: I didn’t.
W: Good. Can you start on Monday?
M: Yes, Madam, and thank you very much.
