Chris: Ah, good morning, Johanna Henderson, isn't it?
Johanna: Yes sir, good morning ....
Chris: Well, I'm Chris Burnett. I'm the head of the international sales department.
Johanna: Nice to meet you.
Chris: Have you seen the company?
Johanna: Yes, I arrived an hour before the interview, so the receptionist showed me around.
Chris: And what did you think?
Johanna: It's a big place and the work environment is friendly.
Chris: That's true. Right now, we have more than eighty people working for us. Did you bring your CV?
Johanna: No, because I sent it by e-mail two days ago.
Chris: Of course, I checked it yesterday. It should be... ah, here it is. Okay. Johanna Henderson, 28 years old and you're from London. How did you hear about our company?
Johanna: My dad worked here several years ago, and he has always spoken highly of you.
Chris: Robert Henderson… Of course, I remember him. He worked here for at least 5 years, right?
Johanna: I think it was 8 years. He moved to Australia.
Chris: Say hi to him for me.
Johanna: Of course.
Chris: Now, let's talk about your work experience, Johanna.
Johanna: Well, I worked at my brother's company when I graduated from college.
Chris: And what kind of company is it?
Johanna: It's a clothing store. He designs clothes and sells them to big businesses.
Chris: And how long did you work there?
Johanna: About two years. I was in charge of all the advertising and managed the sales area of the company.
Chris: So, you didn't design anything?
Johanna: No... I was away from the artistic part.
Chris: And what happened after that?
Johanna: I was traveling for a while; I went to South America and Asia.
Chris: How long did you travel?
Johanna: About eight months, something like that. I went on a trip because I had a job offer and I had to wait, so I took the risk.
Chris: How did you communicate?
Johanna: I can speak Spanish, Chinese, and some Korean.
Chris: Oh, yes, I can see that on your resume. How long have you been studying those languages?
Johanna: Well, my mother is from Argentina, so I speak Spanish fluently. I've studied Chinese for about five years, so I can get by pretty well in that as well.
Chris: In fact, we have a lot of business in South America, so your language skills could be important.
Johanna: It would be good to practice languages while I work.
Chris: What did you do when you got back from your travels?
Johanna: As I told you before, I had a job offer at a small housewares company.
Chris: Err... Style clothing, it's called, right?
Johanna: Xtyle Clothing.
Chris: Oh, yeah, here it is. It says here that you worked in their sales department. How long did you work there?
Johanna: I was there for a year and I also worked in the sales department during that time.
Chris: Did you enjoy working there?
Johanna: Well, it was fun at first. But working in a small company can get repetitive, so I would like to start working in an international company like you.
Chris: I understand, if you want, let's have a coffee while we continue this conversation.
