如何面试公司求职者（一）

很快就到了约定的面试时间，Miss Melita Fagurian准时来到了公司。在和Opal小姐谈了工作要求和薪水后，她进行了一个听写和打字测试。下面是她们之间的对话。

MELITA: Good afternoon. I have an appointment with Miss Karli at four o'clock.

OPAL: That's right. I'm Miss Karli. You must be Melita Fagurian. Do come in and sit down.

MELITA: Thank you very much.

OPAL: I sent you an application form. Did you receive it?

MELITA: Yes, I did. I've completed it and brought it with me. Here it is.

OPAL: Oh thank you very much.. I also sent you a copy of our Conditions of Service.

MELITA: Yes, I've read it through.

OPAL: Did you understand it?

MELITA: Yes, thank you.

OPAL: So now you know all about our working hours, holiday arrangements and salary scales. Or are there any questions you want to ask?

MELITA: No, thank you, everything was explained very clearly.

OPAL: Good. Now let me tell you something about the job and the Company. Mr Ballito is the Managing Director of the Company and I'm his secretary. I have a great deal of work to do so Mr Ballito has decided to employ a junior secretary to help me.

MELITA: Oh I see. So my work would be to help you?

OPAL: Yes, you would answer the telephone, do the filing and some shorthand-typewriting. Can you use a duplicator?

MELITA: Yes, I've learnt how to type stencils and run off copies on a duplicator at the Bank.

OPAL: Oh, good. Now, I'm going to give you a short dictation and typing test, and then Mr Ballito wants to see you.

MELITA: Thank you.

面试第一关看来是通过了。然后，Mr Ballito将亲自面试Miss Melita Fagurian，这一次的结果又将如何呢？我们下回再叙。
