Agent: We'll fill in the personal details on this application form first, if that's OK?
Student: Yes, that's fine.
Agent: Now, what's your name again?
Student: Anita Newman-that's N-E-W-M-A-N.
Agent: And your address, Anita?
Student: I'm in one of the Halls of Residence for post-graduate students, you know, International House.
Agent: OK-that's easy. What's your room number there?
Student: Room B569- no sorry B659. I always get that wrong. I haven't been living there very long.
Agent: Do you have any other skills? Typing, languages, that sort of thing?
Student: Well, I speak some Japanese.
Agent: Right, I'll make a note of that. Now-Let's see what else is available. What do you think of administrative work? There is an position for an Office Assistant at the English Language Centre.
Student: That sounds interesting.
Agent: It's for 3 days a week—Monday, Friday and Saturday mornings. Interested?
Student: Mmm. I was hoping to have Saturdays free. But I need the work so… can you tell me what the job involves?
Agent: Yes, sure. It says here that you'll be required to deal with student enquires and answer the phone.
Student: I'm sure I can handle all that without a problem.
Agent: Great. Well, would you like me to arrange an interview for you? Say, Friday morning, around ten?
Student: Could we make it a bit later? Unfortunately, I've got something to do at ten. Would that be Ok?
Agent: Not a problem. How about eleven thirty? Hope it works out for you Anita.
Student: Me too. And thanks for all your help.
