| Hello, is this John Murphy? |
| Hi, yes it is. |
| Hi John, this is Ed Heisenburg from the Wild Dunes Spa and Resort |
| calling about your application for our lifeguard position. |
| Do you have a few minutes to talk? |
| Yes, absolutely. |
| Great. Could you give me your address? |
| Sure. |
| My address is 45 Elsinore Court. |
| I'm sorry, was that Eleanor? Could you spell that for me? |
| Sure - it's Elsinore. |
| E-L-S-I-N-O-R-E. |
| Okay, thanks. |
| And is this the number we should reach you at in the future? |
| 099885767? |
| No, that's my home phone, |
| but let me give you my mobile number instead: |
| 077896245. |
| Call me on that one. |
| Okay - I'll make a note of that. |
| Could you tell me your availability? |
| Sure. I am usually available during afternoons or weekends. |
| I'd prefer not to be scheduled on weeknights because I work part-time as a waiter. |
| That shouldn't be a problem, |
| since we don't stay open very late anyway. |
| Do you have any other employment experience? |
| Yes, I have worked at a few other places. |
| I was the baseball coach at Ridgemont High School last season. |
| I see. |
| And do you have any other experience that you would like us to note on your application? |
| Yes. |
| Last year I worked at the beach as a rescue diver. |
| Rescue diver? |
| That sounds intense! |
| Well, it's really just like being a lifeguard, except in the ocean instead of a pool. |
| So kind of like being a lifeguard at the world's largest pool. |
| Haha. I see. |
| So could you tell me about the relevant skills you have? |
| I'm guessing a lot, given your experience. |
| I am CPR certified and have 2 years of diving experience. |
| Great! It sounds like you are well qualified for this position. |
| When does your CPR certification expire? |
| Hm. I think in November, but let me quickly check my CPR card... |
| actually, it expires in October. |
| Okay, so regardless you have it through the end of the summer. |
| When is your ideal time to work? |
| Since I work in the restaurant on weeknights, |
| I like weekends best - specifically Saturday mornings. |
| I see. |
| We do already have a lot of staff available on Saturdays, |
| but I do need an early morning shift lifeguard. |
| How early could you work Saturday morning? |
| I can get there by 6 o'clock if need be. |
| You'll be happy to know we open a little later than that, |
| but I'll put you down for Saturday mornings here. |
| Oh awesome! I can't wait to get started. |
| How about you come in next Saturday, the 12th? |
| That sounds good. |
| Great. |
| We can figure out other shifts for you to work when you come in then. |
| One last thing - just out of curiosity, where did you hear about us? |
| I heard your ad on the radio while I was driving this morning. |
| You know, I think you're the first person who has responded to our radio ads. |
| It's almost always people who have seen us in the newspaper. |
| Yeah, I don't have time to read through the newspaper every morning. |
| I've plenty of time in the car to listen to radio ads. |
| That makes sense. |
| Well, thanks for your time, and we'll look forward to seeing you on the 12th. |
