| Good evening. King's Restaurant. |
| Good evening. |
| I'm ringing about the job I understand you have vacant. |
| Oh yes. |
| I'd like to find out a few more details, if i may. |
| Yes, of course. Can i take your name? |
| It's Peter Chin. |
| 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. |
| Great, thanks. |
| I'm afraid i missed the advert for the job but heard about it from a friend. |
| That's no problem at all. |
| What would you like to know? |
| Well, um, what sort of work is it? Washing up? |
| It's answering the phone. |
| Oh, right, fine. |
| And not waiting at table. |
| That'd be good. |
| And how many nights a week would it be? |
| Well, we're really only busy at the weekend. |
| So two nights? |
| Three actually, so it would work out at twelve hours a week. |
| That'd be fine. |
| It wouldn't interfere with my studies. |
| Are you at the university? |
| Yes. First year Physics student. |
| Oh right. |
| Um, and because I'm not an EU national, would I need a work permit? |
| Yes you would. |
| Just get your tutor to sign it. |
| That wouldn't be a problem, if i were to get the job. |
| Um, where exactly is the restaurant? |
| Well, we have two branches - |
| the one we're recruiting for is in Hillsdunne Road. |
| I don't know that. |
| How do you spell it please? |
| It's HILLSDUNNE Road. |
| Got that. Thanks. |
| is it near a bus stop? |
| Yes. The nearest one would probably be just beside the library. |
| Oh yes, I know it. That'd be fine for me. |
| And could I ask about the pay? |
| We're offering £4.45 an hour. |
| That's very good. |
| My last job was £3.95 an hour. |
| We feel it's pretty good and we also offer some good fringe benefits. |
| Really? |
| Well, we give you a free dinner, so you eat well. |
| Right, better than hostel food! |
| We certainly hope so! |
| And we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays. |
| Oh, that's a really good perk, isn't it? |
| 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. |
| Oh, that's good to know. |
| Well, we'd certainly be interested in inviting you for an interview, if you're still interested? |
| Oh yes, certainly. |
| Could I just also ask what qualities you're looking for? |
| Well, for this particular job we want a clear voice, which you obviously do have! |
| Thanks. |
| And you must be able to think quickly, you know. |
| Well, I hope I'd... |
| So, when could you come in for an interview? |
| We're actually quite quiet tonight? |
| Sorry, I couldn't come tonight... |
| or tomorrow, I'm afraid. |
| Thursday's okay, that'd be 22nd of October. |
| Fine, after 5 p.m? |
| Yes, fine. Would 6 o'clock be okay? |
| Perfect. |
| And could you bring along the names of two referees? |
| Yes, that's fine, no problem. |
| Good, I look forward to seeing you. |
| Oh, by the way, who should i ask for? |
| Oh yes, of course, sorry. |
| My name is Samira Manuja. |
| Can you spell that, please? |
| MANUJA. |
| Okay. |
| I've got that. Thanks very much. |
| Look forward to seeing you later on then. |
