| Interviewer | Mr. Black (interviewee) |
| - Good morning, sir. | |
| - Good morning. Come in. Mr. Black, isn't it? Please take a seat. You will have to excuse me a moment while I finish signing these letters. Meanwhile please fill in the application form… There, that'll do. Now I can concentrate on you, Mr. Black. Well, how long were you in your last job with Alpha? | - Well, what will my responsibilities and obligations be during the first year? |
| - What do you know about our company? Have you got any questions for me? | - Yes, certainly. Thanks a lot. Goodbye. |
| - We plan to expand our activities with Eastern countries, to buy equipment and technologies from there and run training programs here. We need a team of creative people to make our company competitive in the world market. | - Yes, I see. |
| - First of all to be responsible for our contacts with Eastern partners. You will need to skillfully negotiate for and buy equipment. The job will involve much travelling. There is likely to be a trade fair soon, which we hope you will be able to go to. | - Five years. I am only leaving because the firm is moving to the other city, but I think a change will do me good. |
| - So tell me what are your three main strengths? | - I am afraid I can't start working till the 10th of October. |
| - OK. Do you work well under pressure? | - I would say they are reliability, loyalty, and energy. |
| - Are you a leader, an entrepreneur by nature? | - All right. When do you want me to start, sir? |
| - All right. Now, Mr. Black, I am quite prepared to offer you a job with us. You have excellent references from your previous companies. You will start on $450 and if you do well we'll review it after three months. The hours are from nine to five thirty, with an hour for lunch and a fortnight's holiday. Does that suit you? Any questions? | - I know that your company is very promising, so I'd like you to inform me what will be the major focus in the next few years? |
| - For not longer than a month. | - Yes, I think so. |
| - In a week, if possible. | - I am accustomed to working under pressure. |
| - No problem. We'll be seeing you on the 10th then? | - I'd like to have some details about travel. What length of time will I go for? |
| - Goodbye, Mr. Black. |
