I love disney world. My mom is a dentist. I enjoy meeting new people. I work for a computer company. I am a mom.
Speaker 2
I just colored my hair blue. I bought a new dress for the easter weekend. I will be going out of town for spring break. I have a new car that my mom gave me. I turn 29 years next week.
Speaker 1
I am going to Disney World. I love Disney World. I have kids. I've been married for 15 years. I am 45. I work at a computer company. My mom is a dentist, she is sweet. I love shopping. I love meeting new people.
Speaker 2
I am going out of town for spring break. I just dyed my hair blue. I just turned 29. I don't have kids. I am in between jobs. My mom gave me a car. I just got a new dress for easter.
Speaker 1
Hey there! How are you today?
Speaker 2
I'm feeling awesome. Ready to get out of town for spring break! You?
Speaker 1
Also ready for vacay. I'm going to disney world, which I love sooo much.
Speaker 2
Cool! I'd go, but with my new blue hair, they'd mistake me for a character :-).
Speaker 1
My kids would probably love your blue hair.
Speaker 2
Just turned 29, but no kids yet. How old are you?
Speaker 1
I'm 45. What do you do? I work at a computer company.
Speaker 2
I'm between jobs. Going on interviews with the car my mom gave me.
Speaker 1
Moms are the best. Mine is so sweet and she's a dentist.
Speaker 2
Do you like clothes? I just got a new dress for easter weekend!
Speaker 1
Yeah! I love shopping. It's my favorite activity. Well, besides meeting new people.
Speaker 2
Have you met anyone interesting lately? Maybe a love interest? ;-).
Speaker 1
I've been married for 15 years hahaha.
Speaker 2
Oh wow! How's that been going for you??
Speaker 1
Great! We are so in love.
Speaker 2

Speaker 1
What type of job are you hoping to get?
Speaker 2
At this point, anything that will pay the bills! I'm kind of desperate. 
Speaker 1
You don't have kids, so you just have to support yourself, right? What jobs have you done so far?
Speaker 2
I've worked in retail and in restaurant settings. I'd like to branch out into the financial sector, but I feel like the competition is out of my league.
Speaker 1
You might have to go back to school to get a credential. You could do that part-time or through online courses. Finance is a good industry to get into. It's hard to do restaurant work as you get older.
Speaker 2
With 30 just on the horizon, I totally feel that haha. What's the situation like in the computer industry? Do you know of any entry-level jobs?
Speaker 1
Sure, but it depends on your skill set. Companies are always looking for programming talent, if that's your thing. It takes time to learn to program and it requires a lot of time sitting by yourself. Do you like spending time alone, or are you better with people?
Speaker 2
I'm a pretty social person, so that might be tough. That said, I feel like any of the higher-level professions are largely solitary pursuits.
Speaker 1
Finance can involve a lot of working with clients...sales, presentations. If you're good at communicating, then it could be a good way to go.
Speaker 2
I'll definitely look into it! Would I need an MBA, or just a few courses to get familiar with it?
Speaker 1
An MBA from a good program can help, but you would probably have to borrow money. Career changes are much easier with an MBA. There are one- and two-year programs. Would you want to go back to school?
Speaker 2
If I had the money, I'd be all about it. At this point, I'd have to save for a few years before I could seriously consider it.

Speaker 1
Oh, by the way, my mom told me that she is looking for assistant. Are you still looking for a job? Cause this is a good chance!
Speaker 2
Yes, I am. That sounds awesome. How do I go about setting up an interview?
Speaker 1
I can send you her contact information. I know it's not the financial sector, but the job pays really well, and they offer tuition assistance for certain programs so you might not even have to wait to go back to school!
Speaker 2
That is great. Yes please send me her contact information. Sounds like it will be awesome job.
Speaker 1
Her number is 555-555-5555. Just shoot her a text and tell her you are interested in the position and you'd like to schedule a meeting. Prepare your resume! I'll put in a good word for you.
Speaker 2
Resume is done. I will send her a text in the morning since it is so late right now. Thank you for this. I really need it. Bills are starting to pile up so hopefully I can get it.
Speaker 1
I hope so too! My mom is super nice and easy to talk to. I know you will do great. 
Speaker 2
Thank you. How is your job at the computer company going. I know you have always wanted to work there.
Speaker 1
It's really enjoyable! You know I got an associates degree in IT so I could stop working retail and it's been well worth it. I really enjoy working with computers and I'm not on my feet all day! 
Speaker 2
That is great. I am glad you are doing something you enjoy. That makes the job so much better.
Speaker 1
It really does. I hope you can get your education so you can do something you REALLY love and is about more than just paying the bills.
Speaker 2
If I get the job with your mom and it helps me go to school. That will help me get there.

Speaker 1
My mom said that she was very pleased with your resume.
Speaker 2
Thank you, it was nice of her to look ovr it for me. I need any help I can getting a job.
Speaker 1
I explained your situation to her. I also told her you would like to go to school and study finance. 
Speaker 2
Yes, that's definitely the ultimate goal. But first I have to pay the rent, pay down bills and start saving for online classes. I don't suppose you know of any openings? I'm open to whatever.
Speaker 1
I'll check with my boss at the computer company and let you know what I find out. How's the car holding up you got from your Mom?
Speaker 2
Great! It is a 2009 but it has a lot of life left in it...low mileage, well maintained. It was a real lifesaver. Now I can get to intreviews (and a job eventually) without a problem. My Mom is great, just like yours. I miss talking to her! How is she?
Speaker 1
Glad to hear it. Reliable transportation is always a key point in securing a job. Mom is doing great. She's cut back on her hours some so we can spend more time shopping! 
Speaker 2
Ooh! Shopping! That's another thing I miss, Let me live vicariously through you, have you bought anything cool lately?
Speaker 1
I did. I bought myself some neat outfits for when I go to Disney. They'll come in handy at the parks. Is suppose to be really hot when I go.  
Speaker 2
It's going to be a roaster of a summer everywhere. What are you looking forward to most about your trip?
Speaker 1
Definitely Epcot! I know I can have a good time there in the evenings when its not so hot. I love the fireworks and all the international foods. 
Speaker 2
Do you like any of the rides?

Speaker 1
I went to disney and it was fun!
Speaker 2
Oh wow, when did you go?! What was your favorite part of going there? I really want to go myself once I have more money to spend on a vacation.
Speaker 1
Last week. It was a blast! We rode all of the rides, ate great food, and made memories! The mickey pretzels were my favorite :)
Speaker 2
That's so great! Who did you end up going with? I know you are married but do you have any kids and did they come with you?
Speaker 1
I went with just my husband. We needed some time away, just the two of us. A place to go and be big kids ourselves!
Speaker 2
That sounds amazing. I have heard a lot more couples are doing that for fun and just to be kids again like you said. What was your favorite ride?
Speaker 1
Space Mountain never disappoints. Let me know when you are planning your trip and I will give you all of my tips!
Speaker 2
I will definitely make sure to get those tips from you when I am planning it! You are making me really excited to go there in the future. It sounds like the trip was exactly what you needed. Were you there for the entire week?
Speaker 1
We went for 5 days. I think that is the perfect amount. More than enough time to do everything, but not enough to get bored.
Speaker 2
That does sound like the perfect amount of time. That could be a nice getaway for my boyfriend and me, but we only started dating a few months ago, so I am going to wait before planning a big trip like that.
Speaker 1
It can be a bad idea to travel together in a new relationship. As fun as travel is, it can be stressful and you don't want to tell a new partnership until it is sturdy.
Speaker 2
Yes, exactly. I have to wait to save up the money anyway, so I will give it some time before I do anything like that!
