So, let me ask you a few questions about your skills. Can you type?
Yes, I can ― on a word processor. I can type about 60 words a minute.
OK. What about languages?
Well, I'm bilingual in French and English.
Oh, that's good. How is your written French?
Er, not very good, really. I can't write business letters for example, but, of course, I can learn ...
Right, have you got any other skills that you want to tell me about? Skills that are userful if you work for a newspaper?
Well, I can drive. I've got an international license. And I think I'm good with people, I can talk to anyone.
OK, good. What about interests? What do you like doing in your spare time?
First of all sports. I like playing tennis.
OK. That's all I want to ask you. Would you like to ask me anything?
Oh, yes. Can I ask about the salary first?
It's about £ 13 000 a year.
Right, thank you. And the hours?
Well, this is a daily newspaper. The offices never close. But the normal hours in the Advertising Department are nine to five.
Monday to Friday?
Yes. But sometimes people work in the evenings and at weekends when there's a problem.
I see. And can I ask you about holidays?
You get four weeks holiday. People usually take one week at Christmas, one week at Easter and two in summer. Is there anything else?
No, I don't think so. Thank you for the interview.
