[English]

Mary?

Hi.

Hello. I'm Susan Thompson, Human Resource Manager here.

Hi. I'm Mary Hansen,

and I'm applying for one your kitchen jobs.

Great.

Here's a copy of my resume.

Great.

Have a seat, Mary.

Thank you.

Mary, do you have any experience working in the kitchen?

No, but I want to learn.

I work hard and I cook a lot at home.

Okay, well, tell me about yourself.

Well, I love to learn new things.

I'm very organized,

and I follow directions exactly.

Uh, that's when my boss at my last job

made me a trainer,

and the company actually gave me a special certificate

for coming to work on time every day for a year.

And I'm taking an English class

to improve my writing skills.

That's great.

Why did you leave your last job?

It was graveyard, and I need to work days.

I see.

Well, what hours can you work?

Um, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Okay, well, do you have any questions for me, Mary?

Yes, what kind of training is needed?

Not a lot.

Most new workers can learn everything the first day.

Do you have any other questions?

No, I don't think so,

but I've heard a lot of good things about your company,

and I would really like to work here.

Well, I have a few more interviews to do today,

but I will call you tomorrow if you get the job.

Okay.

It was sure nice to meet you.

Nice meeting you, too.

Thank you so much for your time

Yes, good luck.

Thank you
