How old is Katie?

M: Come in. Please have a seat.
W: Thank you.
M: I’m Paul Turner. Branch Manager.
W: Katie Thomas. Nice to meet you.
M: I take it you’re looking for temporary office work.
W: That’s right.
M: What’s your age, Katie?
W: Eighteen.
M: That’s rather young. What experience have you had?
W: Well, I’ve just left school, in fact, and I’m looking for a job between now and when I go to college.
M: It doesn’t sound as if we can help, Katie. You see, our clients are very demanding—especially when it comes to new office technology.
W: Oh, that’s no problem. I took extra classes in office skills at school.
M: Oh, perhaps you’d like to outline what you’ve been doing?
W: I started by learning keyboard skills. Then I went on to learn about word processing.
M: Good. You seem qualified from the technical point of view. But how well do you think you’ll get along with people in an office?
W: I think I’m quite adaptable. I belonged to the drama society, as well as working on the school magazine. And I played a bit of sports. So I’m used to working as part of a team.
M: sounds good. Let’s see. . . There’s a request from Johnson’s Imports for "a bright youngster. . . ".
