Tapescript 2 (to ex. 1.26)

Story 1

Charlie: My worst interview experience was about three years ago. I had a group interview for a sales rep. job with a big media company. I was fine at first but when the interviewer asked me a question I suddenly began to feel very nervous. My throat went dry and I couldn’t speak. They offered me a jug of water and a cup. All 20 people in the room stopped and looked at me. I tried to pour water into the cup but my hand was shaking so much that the water went everywhere. I was so embarrassed I had to leave the room. I still go cold all over when I think about it.

Story 2

Alison: Well, I think my worst experience was about two months ago. I had an interview for a job that I really wanted. I decided to drive but I got stuck in traffic and when I got there I was in a big hurry. By mistake, I parked my old car in the Managing Director’s parking place. He arrived as I was getting out of my car. He hooted his horn and asked me to park somewhere else. I ignored him and ran off to the interview. Unfortunately, he was the interviewer and he was so angry that he didn’t even give me an interview.

Story 3

Kevin: My first interview after leaving college was for a trainee accountant job in a firm in Leicester. When I walked into the room the interviewer threw an ashtray at me. I quickly moved to one side and it missed. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the job. They told me afterwards that the ashtray was to test how people react. The person who caught the ashtray and threw it back got the job! The people who moved to one side or caught it and put it back on the desk, didn’t!
