| interviewer: It’s nice to meet you, too. I see from your resume and your application that you used to work as a machine operator when you lived in Mexico. |
interviewer |
| Juan: Yes, I did that for five years. |
Juan |
| Interviewer: The job opening we have available is for a cook. Have you ever done that kind of work before? |
interviewer |
| Juan: No, I haven’t, but I know a lot about Mexican cooking, and I can see on your menu that you serve Mexican food here. |
Juan |
| Interviewer: That’s true. Mexican food is very popular here. We also serve American food. Do you mind working in the evening or on the weekends? |
interviewer |
| Juan: No, I’m available to work at any time. |
Juan |
| Interviewer: We also need someone to take orders over the phone. How are your phone skills in English? |
interviewer |
| Juan: Well, as you can hear, my English is pretty good. I’ve been taking English classes for the last three years at night. |
Juan |
| Interviewer: There’s a two-week training period. The people we hire get paid minimum wage during that time. Then the starting salary is ten dollars an hour. |
interviewer |
| Juan: Oh, that’s really good. I’m very willing to spend time learning how to become a cook. |
Juan |
| Interviewer: We’ll call you when we’ve made our decision. Is the phone number on the application where we can reach you? |
interviewer |
| Juan: Yes, that’s my cell phone number. |
Juan |
| Interviewer: Okay, Mr. Ramirez. Thank-you for coming in today. We’ll be making a decision within the next week. |
