Toby: Hey Erin, its great to see you again. How is your new job?
Erin: Hi Toby, its really great. The work is really interesting, the salary is good, and the company has great benefits.
Toby: Wow! You know, I would really love to work at such a great company.
Erin: Well, I guess you can apply online if we have any positions open.
Toby: Actually, I was hoping you could recommend me directly. Here is my resume.
Erin: Oh, you brought me your resume. Well Toby, I remember that you had a very...how should I say...relaxed attitude toward work at the book store.
Toby: No way! I was a model worker! Maybe you just didnt notice.
Erin: Yes, because I was too busy helping customers.
Toby: Oh please, Erin. Isnt there any way you could help me with this? I really need a job.
Erin: Hmm...well let me look at your resum. Alright Toby, your resume says you have great computer skills. Is that true?
Erin: Toby: Of course! I have extensive experience surfing the Internet.
Erin: I see. But Im not sure that is a real qualification.
Toby: Oh really? Well I have other important skills. For example, Im really good at multi-tasking.
Erin: Thats true. Youre really good at surfing the Internet and eating your lunch at the same time.
Toby: Oh come on, Erin. I would really appreciate it if you could do this for me.
Erin: Hmm... alright Toby. Ill give your resume to our human resources department. If they want to hire you, its their decision.
Toby: Thanks Erin, I really appreciate your help.
Erin: No problem. In fact, I will recommend you for a very important job.
Toby: Really, whats that?
Erin: My secretary. You can use your multi-tasking skills to do all my work while I surf the Internet.
