商务英语情景口语 准备面试（2）

MB: Hi, I’m Marcia Boardman, I’m calling from WebWare.

DW: Oh hi Marcia. Great to hear from you.

MB: You’ll already have been told you’ve been shortlisted for interview...

ST: Oh...yes...great...hello? Can you hear me?

MB: Yes...Is it ok if I call you now? Would you like me to call you back later?

ST: Erm, no, no, no, that’s ok...

MB: Good – well we’re very excited about meeting you. Ok, I just want to talk you through the procedure¹ for the day. Someone will meet you when you arrive, reimburse² you for any travel expenses you may have, and then bring you up to meet myself and Philip Hart, the CEO.

DW: Ok sounds good. So will you be the only members of the interview panel³ there then?

MB: Yes, it’ll be just me and Philip who will talk to you. The interview will be in three parts – first of all we’ll ask you some general questions about yourself and your educational and professional background, then we’ll move on to specifics.

ST: Oh, er, Specifics? Well er, what kind of questions will you be asking?

MB: Well, it’ll be very similar to the personal statement you submitted⁴ with your CV - we’ll be expecting you to to give actual examples of problems you’ve faced and solved, and of what you feel are the major successes in your career so far.

DW: Ok well yeah, that sounds great – can’t wait!

MB: Then there’ll be a chance for you to ask us any questions - about the job itself, or WebWare in general...

ST: Oh, erm, ok...I’ll think of something!

MB: After that, we’d like you to give a short presentation on how you see WebWare as a company progressing, and how you see yourself taking us there.

DW: Ok so will I be expected to give like a formal style presentation?

MB: It can be as formal or informal as you like. There’ll be a flipchart and a data projector⁵ there available. If you need anything else, just let us know.

ST: Oh, erm ok, a presentation! I’ll think of something. I haven’t done one of those in a while...

MB: Is that all clear? Great, so, Daniel, I’ll see you at 11am, a week tomorrow.

DW: Ok great I look forward to meeting you! Thanks, bye.

MB: Ok, so, Sarah, we’ll be seeing you at 1pm, a week tomorrow. Best of luck!

ST: Oh, thanks...I’ll need it...
