BEC情景对话：Job Interviews

Dialogue 1

A:  Hello Mr.  Jones,  please have a seat.  Thank you for coming in today.  I have read your resume.  You completed University in England?

B:  Yes,  I went to Cambridge.  After graduation,  I started right away into the advertising industry.  Later,  I made a bit of a switch to focus on marketing research. 

A:  So,  what experience do you have?

B:  I have ten years marketing experience.  This includes both entry level and management positions.  In my last position,  I worked my way up to being director of the markeing department. 

A:  I can see that from your resume.  Your last position was marketing director for a pharmaceutical company,  is that right? Later,  why did you decide to leave your former post?

B:  I felt after five years in one place,  I was ready for something new.  I would like to have a job that is challenging,  something that I can see and do new things every day.  I loved many things about my former job,  and I left with amiable feelings on both sides.  I was just ready for something new. 

A:  I see.  Do you want to work full-time or part-time?

B:  I would rather work full-time. 

A:  I'll make note of that.  Now,  what are your salary expectations?

B:  I am willing to negotiate,  but I expect at least $40, 000 a year. 

Dialogue 2

A:  Thanks for coming in on such short notice.  Did you find our studio okay?

B: Oh,  yes,  it was very easy to find with the directions you gave me. 

A:  Good.  Well,  let's get right into your interview.  We're looking for someone who will be able to work on a part-time basis only. 

B:  That's no problem.  I can work either part-time or full-time,  but I actually prefer something part-time. 

A:  Tell me a litter bit about your qualifications.  We've already had over fifty applicants for this position.  What sets you apart from all the other candidates?

B:  I think something I can offer that is different from everyone else is that I can speak several languages fluently.  I have experience in intercultural communication,  and I can help your station to reach a wider audience. 

A:  Have you ever worked in broadcasting before ?

B:  I have done some work in print media,  but this will be the first time to do broadcast media.  Even though it is new for me,  I learn really quickly.  I have confidence I can get the hang of things in no time at all. 

A:  Would you mind giving us a demo right now?

B:  No problem! I'd be happy to.
