Philip: So, how many applications did we get, Marcia?
Marcia: Well, overall we've got over 200!
Philip: That many?
Marcia: Yes, but most of which we can discard right away ... people who don't have the right experience, qualifications, that kind of thing.
Philip: Of course.
Marcia: ... and then we get the people who submit ten-page-long CVs, or CVs in comic book font, or green ink, or ... they attach a photo of themselves disco dancing, you know the kind of thing? So, I've whittled down the serious candidates to a shortlist of 12 people.
Philip: And we'll interview all of them?
Marcia: I think we should but, obviously, I'll let you have a look first.
Philip: Great. So, who have we got then?
Marcia: Well, I think we've got some pretty strong candidates. Two in particular.
Philip: They have the right kind of profile?
Marcia: I'd certainly say so. Strong educational background, experience in multinational sales, language skills ...
Philip: Good. I look forward to meeting them.
Marcia: So, I'd say we do the standard interview format.
Philip: Sure.
Marcia: A few general questions, then on to specifics.
Philip: Yes, exactly. I want to hear specific details of when they've solved problems.
Marcia: Yes, and then something about 'vision', as you put it.
Philip: Yes ... what do you think about a brief presentation?
Marcia: I think that's a good idea. We could ask them to give a short presentation on where they see the company going and how they see themselves taking us there.
Philip: Great! You know something? I'm really looking forward to this!

in the first exercise, I can't see the correction. It vibrates. Can you help me with that?
Hello,
Wow, that was a strange problem! I've never seen this 'vibration' before on any of our exercises.
Thanks for telling us about it; we've fixed the problem now.
Best wishes,

The Sample just like real employers interviews thanks you, besides I want to practise specially reading so more of it will be appreciated
This conversation is very fast

I`m understand little
I don't understand Marcia - she's talking too fast and faintly... :(
Hello
in my mind the background music is very important. if it be unsuitable it cause soon tired and boring.
in comparison with other learning video
the background music is very good and it is a nice Select.
thank you for that.
