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!

Thank you so much Adam!
I'll do the same
Sometimes job applicants don't tell the truth, their actual qualifications and experiences aren't agree with what they say in their CVs. So if we just base on the CVs to select a candidate then usually we will get a wrong one, that is why a new employee will be given a probation period.
If someone go through the interview and get the job, but not performs well later on, Marcia can't be blamed because she has done her job accordingly. Thank you.
From this artical i have learned some new words and now i know how to use it. So that this is a usefull one for me. i hope new articals will be created everyday or very offen. I use this programe like everyday to learn English language. English language is the most important language to use for the comunication of between foreigners.
its helpful
its goood
I'm very fond of the preparation task. It's helpful before watching the video, then it's amusing to try to recognize the words while listening to the episode.
But I'm quite dubitative about the empty big black desk. It's rather strange to me that there is'nt one folder on it. There isn't even a laptop ! No laptop, incredible isn't it ? Who are you CEO Phillip Hart ? An adept at "all alone" brainstorming ?
