W: Hey, have you got today’s newspaper? I want to take a look at the job advertisement column.
M: You want to find a job? Have you finished your thesis?
W: Not yet, but it will be good to have some knowledge about the current job market. For example, what kind of quality they would prefer. Talking about that, what’s your requirement for new staff if you are a boss?
M: Well, first of all, I think he or she should be honest and reliable.
W: Yes, honesty is essential.
M: Besides, he should be easy-going, with an active personality.
W: Exactly. But I think in addition to these, the potential person should also have eligible educational background.
M: Yes, of course, a college degree is a must. I won’t insist to have a straight A student, but it will be better if the person’s good at English and computers.
W: I’ve got that.
M: Anyway, theory or book knowledge is not the decisive factor. On the other hand, how to tackle tricky problems is more important.
W: So do you mean we should take more accounts of practical working experience?
M: Right. Three years of full-time working experience would be good.
W: I see. Then what kind of salary and benefits are you going to offer?
M: I don’t want to give him a big salary to start with. But we can provide reasonable benefits, like paid vacations and so on.
W: It will be a good way. But since we have no work experience, what do you think our odds would be when seeking a job?
M: Well, maybe we should start from some easy tasks that don’t require much job experience.
