Dialogue 3. Job Interview - Good morning, my name is Ms Martin. You've applied for the Laboratory Assistant's position right?
B.A Laboratory Assistant helps to maintain scientific equipment, keeping a check on the supplies in the store, and preparing the chemicals for experiments. C.Oh, a Lab. Assistant helps make sure that all the experiments are done properly. - What sort of student do you regard yourself as . . . did you enjoy studying while you were at school? A.I wasn't the best student. I didn't really like study all that much, but I did it when I had to. B.I suppose I'm a reasonable student. I passed all my tests and enjoyed studying subjects that interested me. C.I'm a really great student I didn't have to study much because I always seemed to get by without worrying too much about it.
A.I liked Science - it was O.K. . . well, at least the bits I understood were O.K. B.Maths and Science were my favourite subjects at school. I also enjoyed doing History.
- Do you have any further plans for further study? A.I hadn't really thought much about it . . .I don't know what courses I could do. B.Well, I've thought about doing the part-time Chemistry Certificate course at Technical College. I think I would really benefit from doing that. C.Well, if I had to do it I suppose I would, but now I’ve finished school I'd much rather try to get my social life back into full swing again.
A.Attend a what? B.If the course would help me improve my prospects for promotion and help me to be better at my job I would definitely do it. C.Attend a course? When? I hope it would be in the day time? Would I get time off from work to attend it? I hope it's not at night-my social life would be ruined.
- Have you ever had a job before? A.No I haven't. I've never really been game enough to get one. B.Yes. I have worked part-time at a take away food store-the one just round the corner. C.No. I've really been too busy, what with all the study I've had to do to get a good result.
A.I can't think of any special reason-I suppose I'm no different from most other people. B.Well, I've found out a lot about this type of work and my research suggests that I would be quite capable of doing the work involved. I also think that I would be able to handle any training course reasonably well. C.I reckon I'd probably be the best applicant you're likely to get for the job. - Now, do you have any questions you'd like to ask me about the position? A.No thank you. I don't think so. B.Yes. Ms Martin, could you tell me what hours I'd have to work, and for whom I'd be working? C.Yes. . . What's the pay like?
- I think I have asked you everything I wanted to. Thank you for coming along to the interview. A.Thank you Ms Martin. Goodbye. B.Thank you. When will I know if I am successful? C.Oh, think nothing of it. . . Could I see where I'll be working? VOCABULARY TRAINING
