CEO : Good morning. Please sit down, Mr. Raj Kiran. Well! I am Kishan Sharma The CEO
of this company.
CEO : Good to meet you too. Your CV is very impressive. You have done well in your
academics and have got through with flying colours!
CEO : Well! Bright students like you generally proceed to foreign universities for higher
studies. How come you didn't opt for it?
Raj Kiran : First of all, my parents couldn't afford it. Secondly, I didn’t want to as I believe
Indian institutions offer quality education and it depends on the students to make the best use
of it.
CEO : Well! You have done B.E. in Computer Engineering and have proceeded to do MBA
and specialised in marketing instead of doing Masters in the same under graduation subject.
Is there any particular reason for it?

move upwards in my career.

looking for fresher with such an educational combination to take on as trainees.

John: Yes, I am.
Mike: First of all, let me properly introduce myself. I am the Finance Department Manager.
As you know there is an open position in my department, and I need to fill this position as
soon as possible.

Accounting department. He will also have to deal with the bank on a daily basis.

helpful.

require a lot of experience. I am willing to train the new person.

in
Finance. I have been working part-time as a payroll clerk for the last two years.

Mike: Anything else?
John: I am a hard-working person and a fast learner. I am very eager to learn, and I get along
fine with people.
Mike: OK. Now, let me ask you a few quick questions. You do not mind working long hours,
do you?
John: No, I do not.
John: Yes, I can. When I was going to school, I took quite a few courses each semester while
working at least twenty hours every week. And, I handled that situation very well.
John: No, I think I have a pretty good understanding of the job. I believe that I can handle it
with ease, and I hope to have the opportunity to work for you.
