Teacher: 马洪涛

Dialogue Topical introduction: Applicant Wangjian is having a job interview with an interviewer in a personnel manager’s office. The interviewer is Mike Anderson, personnel manager of a company.

Anderson: Come in, please. Good morning, I am Mike Anderson, personnel manager of our company.

Wang: How do you do? My name is Wangjian. Anderson: Sit down and make yourself at home. Wang: Thank you very much. Anderson: As I know you have applied to work in

our company, would you please introduce yourself?

Wang: I’m 22 years old and was born in Shanghai. I can speak and write English fluently as shown in the resume and know how to operate the computer and NC machines. I have been an assistant engineer for half a year in a famous company one year ago. So I am sure that I am quite efficient in technical work, like NC programming, operation, maintenance and debugging.

Anderson: Ok, I would infer that you are an excellent student in your college. Could you tell me the courses you have learned in your college?

Wang: I have learned many courses, English, mathematics, engineering, drawing, mechanical engineer, C-language program designing, electric and electronics, and so on. Also, I have learned many specialized courses, such as machining processes and metal cutting, hydraulic drive, electromechanical control, NC machines and system, fault diagnostic and maintenance for NC machines, NC programming and operation, CAD/CAM, 3DMAX, Internet, electronic-commerce, economics, trade and so on.

Anderson: Why do you choose our company?

Wang: Your company is one of the largest NC machine manufacturers in East China. As you see in my resume, I specialized in CAD/CAM in college, so I expect to develop my capabilities in your company. On the other hand, the position for which I applied is quite challenging. That’s the reason why I like to come to your company. I hope to display my talents fully here.

Anderson: If I accept you, how much do you expect to be paid?

Wang: At least RMB 1,500 a month.

Anderson: Oh, I know. Our company doesn’t provide any housing. There are 8 regular hours a day. In general, it is from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., extra work may be required sometimes with payment and someone need to be on duty on Saturday or Sunday without payment.

Wang: Ok. When can I get the reply about my application?

Anderson: I think you will know the final result within a week. It’s my please to have a talk with you.
