Interviewer: Hello, Miss Jones. Thank you for coming. Please, sit down.

Applicant: Thank you.

Interviewer: Firstly, where did you see the advert for this post?

Applicant: I saw it in last Friday's Evening Post.

Interviewer: Now,have you brought your CV with you?

Applicant: Yes, here you are.

Interviewer: Thank you. Could you tell me a bit about your qualifications?

Applicant: Of course. I left school with 2 "A" levels in English and French. Then I did a diploma at Crewe College.

Interviewer: What sort of diploma is that?

Applicant: It is a secretarial and business diploma.

Interviewer: Fine. Could you tell me about any relevant experience you have?

Applicant: Yes. I worked at Francobank for 2 years, as a personal secretary to the director.

Interviewer: Would you mind telling me why you left?

Applicant: Well, the salary was fairly good, but there were no promotion prospects, so I decided to resign and look for something more challenging.

Interviewer: I see. Now, if you were to be offered a post, would you be able to start straight away?

Applicant: Yes, of course.

Interviewer: Excellent. Now, is there anything you would like to know about us?

Applicant: Yes, I have a few questions. Could you please tell me what the working hours will be?

Interviewer: Of course. The normal office hours are 9 am to 5 pm, with an hour for lunch. But we are quite flexible about this.

Applicant: That sounds fine. Could you tell me what salary I could expect?

Interviewer: Well, the starting salary is £750 a month before tax. After 6 months, the salary increases by 10%.

Applicant: Oh, that sounds good.

Interviewer: Well, do you have any more questions you'd like to ask?

Applicant: No, I don't think so. When could I expect to hear from you?

Interviewer: We have a few more people to see, but we hope to reach a decision by Friday. We'll be in touch by the end of the week.

Applicant: Thank you for your time. Goodbye.

Interviewer: Goodbye. And thank you.
