I:Have you worked anywhere else?
A:Yes,I've been working in the Beauty Restaurant as a full-time waiter after leaving the occupational school.Here is my resume.
I:Good.May I ask why you are interested in working at our hotel?
A:Because I think I'm fit for a receptionist's job.I'm still learn-ing spoken English,you know.There'll be a lot of foreigners to come to your hotel,won't there?
I:Certainly.When did you study English?
A:When I was a student,English happened to be my favorite subject.After graduation.I went on studying spoken English in my spare time.
I:I see.Do you think if there is still any room for improvement in your spoken English?
A:Sure,I do think so.But as the old saying goes“Where there is a will,there is a way.”I'll do my best to improve my spoken English.
I:Well,that's a good answer.Can you tell me why you want to leave your present post?
A:I'm desirous of leaving my present employer simply because I see no chance of advancement.
I:Do you want to work here because you can speak English?
A:No,not just because I can speak English.What I really want is the chance to learn some advanced methods of management from foreign staff members.
I:We believe you would be able to do the job very well.But as you know,we have dozens of applicants to be answered.We can't reach a final decision until we talked to all applicants being asked to come here.
A:When can I know whether I'm accepted or not?
