(sound of dialing and ringing tone)
Clara: 6321947.
Pat: Is that you, Clara?
Clara: Yes. Who’s calling?
Pat: This is Pat.
Clara: Hi, Pat. How are you? I haven’t heard from you for ages. What are you doing?
Pat: Nothing very interesting. That’s the reason I’m ringing. I need some advice from you. I want to ask you about interviews. Have you had a lot of them?
Clara: Yes. I have too many.
Pat: I know you are a very successful woman. Could you tell me the sort of questions you’re usually asked?
Clara: Let me think. The first few questions are almost always the same. I call the Wh questions, such as: Why do you want to leave your present job?
Pat: Will you speak slowly? I want to write them down .... I’m ready now, go on, please.
Clara: Yes.
Why do you want to leave your present job?
Why are you interested in the new job?
Where did you graduate? When was that?
What was your major?
How much are you paid in your present job?
How much do you expect to be paid in the new job?
Where do you live? How do you get to work?
Oh yes, I’m always asked if, I’m married. It’s very boring.
Pat: They’re very helpful. Thank you very much. You know I’ll go for an interview tomorrow.
Clara: Oh really? Good luck.
(The next day, Pat is in the interview room.)
Roger: Hello, You must be Ms. Liu.
Pat: Yes. Pat Liu.
Roger: I’m Roger Evan.
Pat: How do you do?
Roger: Won’t you sit down?
Pat: Thank you.
Roger: You’re applying for a position as a research engineer, Is that correct?
Pat: Yes.
Roger: Why are you interested in this job?
Pat: I like to do research. I think it’s a challenge for me. It will give me lots of room for initiative.
Roger: Where did you receive your Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering?
Pat: From Leeds University.
Roger: Oh! That’s an excellent engineering school. And you are there now, working on your Master’s?
Pat: Yes, I am.
Roger: And for the past two years you’ve been working as an auto mechanic?
Pat: Yes. I was working part time.
Roger: So you’re not presently employed?
Pat: Uh, no. I was working at the job up until a week ago. I no longer have that position.
Roger: Could you tell me why you want to leave that job now, rather than waiting until you have finished your degree?
Pat: Well, I was dismissed from the position.
Roger: I see. Could you go into some details on that for me?
Pat: Well, I’m not willing to file a lawsuit, but the.., uh... the manager had received a customer complaint about having a woman mechanic. In fact, he hired a man to replace me.
Roger: So you believe it was a case of sexual discrimination?
Pat: Oh, yes, I do. But it’s very difficult to prove.
Roger: Yes, it would be. We’re fortunate here to have a fair administration, I suppose it has something to do with our new president, Ms Lewis. Ms Liu, how much do you expect to be paid in the new job?
Pat: Well,....
