Woman: Well, your CV seems pretty well up to scratch. Now I wonder, can you tell me about yourself?
Man: Um, well, I think I am serious-minded. I am calm.
Woman: You’re calm?
Man: Yes, well, I like a joke, though, good sense of humor. I don’t panic in a crisis and I enjoy working with all kinds of people. I even like people who are, you know, bad-tempered or something like that.
Woman: Yes, but where do you see yourself, in, let’s say, five years’ time?
Man: Well, I am sort of a long-range thing. I see myself in the public relations and one day I must admit I would rather like to open up my own consultant in my hometown.
Woman: What is specifically about Sino-European that attracted you?
Man: Well. First of all, I want to leave my present employers because they’re a small company and I know about Sino-European, I mean, they’re a good company, larger. I think I will have more scope, the work will be more challenging, I mean, quite a lot of what I do at present is quite boring, it’s routine secretarial work.
Woman: And you like to move on?
Man: Yes, if I could. You know, hopefully to a job that gives me more opportunities. So I can use my initiative.
Woman: Mhm.
Man: Can I just ask you this question? I’d like to know if I get the job with Sino-European, would I be able to work abroad in one of your overseas branches?
Woman: Oh, yes, certainly. Our staff regularly do six-month placements in other branches. So I am sure you might.
Man: Oh, well. That’s good. That is what I am interested in.
Woman: Can I know what you consider your strengths and your weaknesses?
Man: Well, I mentioned before, I think my sense of humor and my ability to work with all types of people is a particular strength.
Woman: Yes.
Man: My weakness? I don’t know. I suppose I am a bit of a perfectionist. I am quite often dissatisfied with what I have done. I always think I can do it better in a different way.
Woman: I wouldn’t call that a weakness. I’d call that a strength.
Man: That’s good. I mean, apart from that I suppose I get a little bit sort of gull of the Wanderlust and that’s why I want to travel. I am easily bored with repletion and procedure.
Woman: Do you have a lack of commitment?
Man: No, not at all.
Woman: Now is there anything else you’d like to ask me?
Man: Yes. If I can just get down to the nitty-gritty: would the salary be reviewed every six months? And after half a year you’d also be eligible to share in the company’s bonus scheme.
Woman: Right. Well, time is pressing on, I am afraid. So thank you very much for coming to see me and we will be in touch with you before the end of the week.
Man: Good. Well, thank you for seeing me.
Woman: Goodbye.
Man: Bye.
