HR M: According to your CV you work for a real estate company.

JS: Yes, that’s right, I’ve been there for three years.

HR M: So why do you want to leave now?

JS: Well, I do like my job, but I really want to do something a bit different from just secretarial work. I feel this vacancy will offer me that.

HR M: Oh yes, definitely. But there would also be administrative duties, typing reports, some correspondence and e-mails. Is that what you expect?

JS: That sounds okay. And how about training?

HR M: We offer quite a few in-company programs and we also send people to outside training.

HR Manager: Good afternoon, Mr. Brooks. Have a seat, please.

Job Seeker: Good afternoon.

HR M: I received your resume a few weeks ago and I must say I was impressed.

JS: Thank you.

HR M: As you know we are a small but fast growing financial company, mostly trading stocks and bonds. Why are you interested in working for us?

JS: I know that your company has an excellent reputation. Besides, I have always wanted to work with a smaller company.

HR M: Tell me, please, a little bit about your current occupation?

JS: I'm a broker at a large international company at the moment. I mostly deal with clients and I handle all aspects of their accounts.

HR M: I see. Could you also tell me about your previous job experience?

JS: Yes, of course. I have worked for two full years at my current position. Before that, I participated at an internship program at the same company.

HR M: How long did the internship last?

JS: Almost for one year.

HR M: So, you have a three-year job experience, is that right?

JS: Absolutely. However, I would like to continue my career in this field.

HR M: Could you also say a few words about your main education?

JS: Yes, with pleasure. I graduated from the University of Kent and I have a degree in Accountancy and Finance.

HR M: Do you have any additional certificates?

JS: Yes, I do. After graduation I have also attended workshops for experienced specialists. I've gained lots of new financial theory and practice there, as well as a certificate of course completion.

HR M: That's good to know, Mr. Brooks. I would like to ask you one more question about your interest in our company. Why do you think that you are the right candidate for the position of head broker?

JS: I think that I have enough experience in the stock market to handle this job. Also, I quite like my current duties and don't mind expanding the range of my responsibilities in this field.

HR M: Well, you might just be the right person we've been looking for. Do you have any questions?

JS: Yes, I have one question. If I were hired, how many accounts would I be handling?

HR M: You'd be handling about a third of our clients, as you'd be working with two other head brokers. Is there anything else you'd like to ask?

JS: No, that's it. Thank you.

HR M: Ok, then. We will send our employment contract for your review this week, Mr. Brooks. And we hope to see you soon among our staff.

HR Manager: Tell me about yourself.

Job Seeker: I hold an engineering degree in software development from New Delhi University. I have been living in the US since I took a job as software engineer with Data Maintenance, Inc in 2009. I was responsible for creating and maintaining databases for 300 companies in various industries. I contacted clients, set up database systems for trial versions, fixed the system bugs, modified the interface to the specifications of user characteristics.

HR Manager: Why did you leave this position?

Job Seeker: Now that this position has been eliminated and I was offered another position in the same field but in Phoenix, Arizona. I am not ready to relocate so am looking for a new position.

HR Manager: What are your goals for your career?

Job Seeker: I want to secure a software engineering position with a company that concentrates on wholesale digital data systems development. Ideally, I’d like to work for a young company, such as yours, so I can get in on the ground floor and take advantage of all the opportunities a growing firm has to offer.

HR Manager: What are your weaknesses?

Job Seeker: I am a perfectionist, and this trait in some industries may not be a good fit. But, for a software engineering position I believe it will help me excel.

HR Manager: What is your approach to problem solving?

Job Seeker: I will first identify the problem; second, find out the resources I need to solve it if I have any and then how much time I would need to solve the problem. Depending on the nature of the problem, I will either solve the problem or report it to my supervisor immediately for additional resources.

HR Manager: How would you increase sale on a new database software the consumer showed no interest in?

Job Seeker: I would try to increase product awareness by enacting some marketing strategies to employ advertising, direct mail or media campaigns.

HR Manager: Why do you want to work here?

Job Seeker: I want to be a part of a global company like yours, who invest in the future. I'm impressed with your investments in research and development of eco-friendly industrial processes.

HR Manager: Tell me about the worst boss you ever had.

Job Seeker: While none of my past bosses were awful, there are some who taught me more than others did.
