Sue: 3346791

Clara: Is that you sue?

Sue: Who’s calling

Clara: This is Clara, Clara Fulkson. Don’t you remember me?

Sue: Clara! Of course I remember you. How are you? I haven’t heard from you for at least 2 years.

What are you doing?

Clara: Nothing very exciting. That’s one reason I’m ringing. I need some advice.

Sue: Advice? Hm...That’s a good one. I’ve just been sacked (Pips)

Clara: There’s (a) pips. Hang on Sue. (Insert a coin) What do you mean you’ve just been sacked?

Sue, you are the most successful woman I know.

Sue: That’s probably why I’ve been sacked. But let’s talk about you. You said you needed some advice.

Clara: I certainly do. I want to ask you about interviews. Have you had (a) lots of them?

Sue: Yes, I have. Too many

Clara: So could you tell me the sort of questions you are usually asked?

Clara: Not again, Don’t go away, Sue, I’ve got one more coin. (Insert one more coin) Are you there Sue?

the job; Where I live; where I went to school; how much I ‘m paid in my present job; how much I expect to be paid in the new job. Oh, yes. I’m always asked if I’m married.

Interviewer: Good morning, Miss ...
