Dialogue
So, tell me about your last job.
Well, last summer I was working as a waitress in an Italian restaurant.
I enjoyed working with people. I would chat with the customers and I got some great tips, but then my boss got angry at me.
He said that I wasn’t serving the food quick enough. I tried to work more quickly but I wasn’t as fast as the other servers. At the end of the summer he told me that he couldn’t renew my contract.
Oh, that’s too bad. Well, what other work have you done?
I worked as a receptionist in a gym a few years ago.
What did you like about that job?
The environment at the gym was good, but I didn’t really like working at a desk.
You had to answer phone calls, didn’t you?
Yes, that part was okay, but I didn’t like filing and all the paperwork.
Let’s look at this website to see what job ads there are.
Here is a position as a secretary in a school. This position involves meetings, maintaining office supplies and some filing.
I don’t know. I don’t like office work.
Here is another one. This is a shop assistant position.
I’m interested in that one! I worked in a clothing shop one summer. I really enjoyed it!
Do you want to send your c.v.?
Yes, but I need to update it first.
Thank you. How’s your job?
Pretty good. My dad is a designer and I’ve always been interested in art and design. I studied graphic design at university. Now I’m working at a graphic design firm.
I’m only in my 3rd month there so I mostly do filing and administrative tasks, but in 6 months I will be designing some projects.
