Exercise 20 Match each question about jobs with an appropriate answer
| 1. What’s your current job? 2. What does it involve? 3. How long have you been in your present job? 4. Do you enjoy your work? 5. Is there anything you don’t like about your job? 6. How do you spend your time when you are not working? | a) I’ve worked here for about four years now. b) I’m a supervisor in a logistics company called Express Move. c) I enjoy team sports like rugby, but I don’t play as regularly as I’d like. d) Well, the role involves bureaucracy – and I’m not very keen on that. e) Very much. My job entails a lot of different tasks – from co-ordinating drivers to liaising with suppliers – so I don’t get bored. f) I’m responsible for 13 warehouse staff and report to the site manager. |
Exercise 21 Translate the extract from the interview. Suggest the beginning and the ending of the interview.
I.: So tell me, Ms Pavlova, why should I hire you? Why would you be suited to this job?
P.: Well, I’ve worked in international trade before, so I have all the technical knowledge. I have all the necessary computer skills, too. I have had plenty of experience doing this kind of work.
I.: OK. But what about personal qualities? I would see those as being just as important, if not more important, than technical skills.
P.: That’s always a difficult question. I suppose I could say I’m reliable. I’m not the kind of person who needs someone looking over her shoulder all the time. Once I know what I’ve got to do, I just get on and do it. I’m a hard worker. And I’m flexible. I’m prepared to adapt.
I.: Are you used to working without supervision?
P.: Well, in my present job I don’t have constant supervision, but I’m always given specific jobs to do. Mostly administration. That’s the main reason why I’m looking for something new. I’d like to have a bit more freedom. Well, freedom is maybe the wrong word. More responsibility is what I mean.
I.: That’s certainly what this job would involve. But would you be able to learn the ropes quickly enough? We need someone who can be self-sufficient almost right away. Are you experienced enough for that?
P.: Of course. It isn’t as if I’m inexperienced. It’s just that I’m a little limited in my current job. I’m a good time manager and a good organizer. In previous jobs I was used to having more responsibility. And I’m certainly capable of adapting quickly. Generally speaking, I’m a fast learner.
Exercise 22 During interviews framing expressions can be very helpful. Framing expressions for questions help to show another question is coming. Framing expressions before answers help to avoid silence and give candidates time to think.
