Dialogue:

M: Come in. Please have a seat.

W: Thank you.

M: I'm Paul Turner. Branch Manager.

W: Katie Thomas, nice to meet you.

M: I hear that you're looking for temporary office work.

W: That's right.

M: How old are you, Katie?

W: Eighteen.

M: That's rather young. What experience have you had?

W: Well, I've just left school, in fact, and I'm looking for a job between now and when I go to college.

M: It doesn't sound as if we can help, Katie. You see, our clients are very demanding, especially when it comes to new office technology.

W: Oh, that's no problem. I took extra classes in office skills at school.

M: Oh, perhaps you'd like to outline what you've been doing?

W: I started by learning keyboard skills. Then I went in to learn about word processing.

M: Good. You seem qualified from the technical point of view. But how well do you think you'll get along with people in an office?

W: I think I'm quite adaptable. I belonged to the drama society, as well as working on the school magazine. And I played a bit of sports. So I'm used to working as part of a team.

M: Sounds good. Let's see... There's a request from Johnson's Imports for "a bright youngster..." .
