SECTION 1:

WOMAN: Good evening. King’s Restaurant.
MAN: Good evening. I’m ringing about the job I understand you have vacant.
WOMAN: Oh yes.
MAN: I’d like to find out a few more details, if I may.
WOMAN: Yes, of course. Can I take your name?
MAN: It’s Peter Chin.
WOMAN: Okay Peter. Well, if you want to ask about the job and then if we’re both still interested, we could arrange for you to come for an interview.
MAN: Great, thanks. I’m afraid I missed the advert for the job but heard about it from a friend.
WOMAN: That’s no problem at all. What would you like to know?
MAN: Well, um, what sort of work is it – washing up?
WOMAN: It’s answering the phone.
MAN: Oh right, fine.
WOMAN: And not waiting at table.
MAN: That’d be good. And how many nights a week would it be?
WOMAN: Well, we’re really only busy at the weekend.
MAN: So two nights?
WOMAN: Three actually, so it would work out at twelve hours a week.
MAN: That’d be fine. It wouldn’t interfere with my studies.
WOMAN: Are you at the university?
MAN: Yes. First year Physics student.
WOMAN: Oh, right.
MAN: Um, and because I’m not an EU national would I need a work permit?
WOMAN: Yes you would. Just get your tutor to sign it.
MAN: That wouldn’t be a problem, if I were to get the job. Um, where exactly is the restaurant?
WOMAN: Well, we have two branches – the one we’re recruiting for is in Hillsdunne Road.
MAN: I don’t know that. How do you spell it please?
WOMAN: It’s H-I-double L-S-D-U-double N-E Road.
MAN: Got that. Thanks. Is it near a bus stop?
WOMAN: Yes. The nearest one would probably be just beside the Library.
MAN: Oh yes, I know it. That’d be fine for me. And could I ask about the pay?
WOMAN: We’re offering £4.45 an hour.
MAN: That’s very good. My last job was £3.95 an hour.

WOMAN: We feel it’s pretty good and we also offer some good fringe benefits.
MAN: Really?
WOMAN: Well, we give you a free dinner, so you eat well.
MAN: Right, better than hostel food!

WOMAN: We certainly hope so! And we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays.
MAN: Oh, that’s a really good perk, isn’t it?
WOMAN: Yes, we think so. And then because of the difficulties of getting public transport, if you’re working after 11 o’clock we drive you home.
MAN: Oh, that’s good to know.
WOMAN: Well, we’d certainly be interested in inviting you for an interview, if you’re still interested?
MAN: Oh yes, certainly. Could I just also ask what qualities you’re looking for?
WOMAN: Well, for this particular job we want a clear voice, which you obviously do have!
MAN: Thanks.
WOMAN: And you must be able to think quickly, you know.
MAN: Well, I hope I’d …
WOMAN: So, when could you come in for an interview? We’re actually quite quiet tonight?
MAN: Sorry, I couldn’t come tonight. Or tomorrow, I’m afraid. Thursday’s okay – that’d be 22nd of October.
WOMAN: Fine, after 5 p.m.?
MAN: Yes, fine. Would 6 o’clock be okay?
WOMAN: Perfect. And could you bring along the names of two referees?
MAN: Yes, that’s fine, no problem.
WOMAN: Good. I look forward to seeing you.
MAN: Oh, by the way, who should I ask for?
WOMAN: Oh yes, of course, sorry. My name is Samira Manuja.
MAN: Can you spell that, please?
WOMAN: M-A-N-U-J-A.
MAN: Okay, I’ve got that. Thanks very much.
WOMAN: Look forward to seeing you…
