The following may serve as the body of an interview. Read it in pairs. Make up a dialogue between an interviewer and an applicant for the job. Use the questions given in exercise 4.
Interviewer – Why don’t you begin by telling me something about yourself?
Applicant – What do you want to know?
I – The usual – you know – something about your experience and
anything personal that you feel is important.
A – Well, my name is Oleg Kotov, I was born in Moscow, on November 22,
1965 and went to school there. I graduated from Moscow Linguistic
University with honors degree in Interpretation and Reviewing in
English. Before I entered the University I had spent a year in Holland,
studying Dutch. In 1996 I graduated from Higher School of Commerce
within Moscow Academy of Economics. I had studied at the
department of Management of Foreign Trade.
I – What made you decide to get into business?
A – Oh, nothing in particular I guess. By the time I decided to study
economics the situation in this country had changed considerably. I
mean, people got economic freedom. I had a good chance to try my
hand at business. An ideal job for me is a job that encourages thinking
and development.
I – Now what about your experience?
A – I spent five years (1992-1997) as a department manager within
Zagrantechstroy. I was responsible for international and public
relations of the Ministry of Housing of Russia.
I – How long have you been working with Wonderworld Co.Ltd (U.S.A.)?
A – More than four years now. I was employed as a Sales Representative
after I had gone through a series of interviews and tests. A year later I
was promoted to the Sales Manager’s position. I head a business
team of 20 people which studies consumers’ opinion of company
products.
I – Have you ever had any difficulty in getting along with colleagues?
When did you last lose your temper?
A – I guess I’m a team player and always try to keep cool. However, I lost
my temper once. It happened a year ago. I was very angry because
my secretary hadn’t typed some urgent papers in time. The company
suffered losses.
I – Well, why do you want to leave your present job?
A – You see, I should like very much the opportunity to work with a
larger more dynamic company. The job you’re offering suits both my
personal and professional interests.
I – We have a lot of applicants for this job. Why should we appoint you?
A – I am an experienced and well-trained specialist, have excellent oral
and written skills in English. I speak and write Dutch quite well. I have
basic knowledge of PC in D-bev (computer beverage distribution
program). And I’ve been always active and hard working.
I – You certainly sound impressive. I’ll show your references to the board.
We’ll probably get back to you in a week.
A – Thank you.
