I: OK, Paulette, let's take a look at your work experience. Have you had any experience of this type of job? P: Well, I've worked for several companies, including banks. And I had to do administrative tasks such as database management, typing, and taking calls. I: And do you enjoy this kind of work? P: Yes, I do. Very much. I like systems, you know, where everything is very organized. I: So, what skills and qualities do you have? P: Well, I have excellent computer and typing skills. I enjoy working in an office environment, and I think I'm a very hard worker. I like getting the job done. I: Excellent. So, what are some of your strengths and weaknesses? P: Well, I work quickly, and I'm very efficient. I: And your weaknesses? P: Mmm, that's a bit difficult. I don't know, really. I'm sure I have some... oh, yes... possibly that I work too hard! I: Right. And finally, have you got any questions about the job? P: Er... no, not really. The advertisement was very clear. I: OK, thank you for coming today, Paulette. P: Thank you. I: So, Antonio, let's talk a little about your work experience. Have you had any experience of this type of job? A: Well, I only left university three months ago. But I've had lots of jobs during my summer holidays, because it's important to get as much work experience as possible. I: Good... good... A: So in my holidays I've worked for travel agencies, you know, dealing with people's questions over the phone, taking bookings I: Right... A: And I've taken jobs in factories, too... so I've worked in different kinds of places. But I've also edited the student magazine - and it was great fun. I: So what skills and qualities do you have? A: I have a lot of enthusiasm, and I like working with people. I like that a lot. And obviously I have computer and telephone skills. I: What are some of your strengths and weaknesses? A: Hmm, can I talk about a weakness first? I: Yes, of course. A: Well, I can't drive - so I hope there isn't any driving involved in this job. I: No, there isn't. A: Great. And I think my strengths are... well, my enthusiasm, as I said before. And I think I'm good at dealing with customers and clients. In fact, I love talking. I: Have you got any questions? A: Yes, I have a few. First of all, could you describe a typical day? I: Yes, of course. The first thing to say is... it's busy... I: OK, Tareq, let's talk about what you can bring to this company. Have you had any experience of this type of job? T: Yes, I have. In fact, my present job is very similar to this. I have the same kind of responsibilities. I: Oh, yes... I can see that on your CV. So why are you thinking of leaving your present position? T: I like my job, and I get on well with my colleagues. But it's a very large company – it employs hundreds of people - and I prefer working in a smaller team. It's more satisfying. I: So what skills and qualities do you have? T: Well, I'm well-organized and reliable and I enjoy working with people. And I have good computer skills, of course. I: What are some of your strengths and weaknesses? T: Well, I think I'm good at working under pressure. I: And your weaknesses? T: That's difficult. Sometimes I find it difficult to stop working. My girlfriend says that is a weakness! I: OK, Tareq, have you got any questions for me? T:Yes, I have one. It's about the organization of the conferences... Decide who you think gets the job. Read the interviewer’s decision.

This wasn't an easy decision. Paulette had excellent experience, and I'm sure that she is very hard-working and efficient... but I don't think that she has the people skills necessary for this job. And I wasn't happy that she didn't ask any questions. So I had to choose between Tareq and Antonio. Both were good candidates in different ways. Tareq has excellent experience and I think he is a very reliable young man. Antonio is full of enthusiasm, and I think he has a lot of good qualities. Unfortunately, I think he possibly enjoys talking too much. I'm not sure that this is the kind of job he really wants. So, I've chosen Tareq.
