Come in. Please have a seat.
Thank you.
I'm Paul Turner. Branch Manager.
Katie Thomas, nice to meet you.
I hear that you're looking for temporary office work.
That's right.
How old are you, Katie?
Eighteen.
That's rather young. What experience have you had?
Well, I've just left school, in fact, and I'm looking for a job between now and when I go to college.
It doesn't sound as if we can help, Katie. You see, our clients are very demanding, especially when it comes to new office technology.
Oh, that's no problem. I took extra classes in office skills at school.
Oh, perhaps you'd like to outline what you've been doing?
I started by learning keyboard skills. Then I went in to learn about word processing.
Good. You seem qualified from the technical point of view. But how well do you think you'll get along with people in an office?
I think I'm quite adaptable. I belonged to the drama society, as well as working on the school magazine. And I played a bit of sports. So I'm used to working as part of a team.
