[speaker001:] Good morning, my name is Martin. You've applied for the Laboratory Assistant's position, right?
[speaker002:] Yes. When I saw the advertisement I thought it would really suit me.
[speaker001:] Can you tell me why you replied to our advertisement?
[speaker002:] I think that I'll be really good at this kind of work. In fact I learn so fast that I'll be looking for promotion very shortly.
[speaker001:] Do you know exactly what you would be doing as a Laboratory Assistant?
[speaker002:] A laboratory assistant helps to maintain scientific equipment, keep a check on the supplies in the store, and prepare the chemicals for experiments.
[speaker001:] What sort of student do you regard yourself as? Did you enjoy studying while you were at school?
[speaker002:] I suppose I'm a reasonable student. I passed all my tests and enjoyed studying subjects that interested me.
[speaker001:] What were your favorite subjects at school?

[speaker001:] Do you have any plans for further study?
[speaker002:] Well, I've thought about doing the part-time Chemistry Certificate course at Technical College. I think I would really benefit from doing that.
[speaker001:] Have you ever had a job before?

[speaker001:] We have a lot of other applicants for this position. Why do you think that you deserve to get the job?
[speaker002:] Well, I've found out a lot about this type of work and my research suggests that I would be quite capable of doing the work involved. I also think that I would be able to handle any training course reasonably well.
