C： I've been looking over your application. I see you've got several years' experience in secretarial work. May I know what has made you decide to apply for a position here？
B： I worked as a junior secretary. My responsibilities include typing， filing， answering telephone calls and such routine office work. I feel I'm ready for more challenging position.
C： That's why you want to have a change， I suppose.
B： Yes， I want to move ahead. I understand you're looking for an executive secretary. I've completed a secretary training course including Business Communication， Accounting， Bookkeeping，

C： You mentioned you're taking an Advanced Secretary Practice course. Did you find anything impressive in the course？

I always did my best to be cheerful， patient， and willing to help. My office manager has a high opinion on my performance and I felt sorry that in our company there was no opportunity for my advancement.
C： Yes. I've got the idea from your recommendation. Are you aware of your weak points？
B： Yes， I'm used to playing a supporting role. That means my decision-making ability needs improving.
C： Anyway， I don't expect anything perfect from the beginning. What do you feel about overtime？
B： It's fine. I understand what having more responsibilities means. Even before， I was not a nine-to-five person. Could you please tell me， generally speaking， how often the executive secretary works overtime， and how many more hours she puts in？
C： It depends. If we have important meetings or visiting delegations， you have to stay with us. It's not unusual.
B： I see. I think I can find my way out.
C： Do you have any more questions to ask me about the job？
B： Let me see. What's the starting salary and what sort of fringe benefits does the job offer？
C： Well， the starting salary would be 2500 yuan RMB per month， and it will be adjusted according to your performance. Generally speaking， raises will be given after trial employment of three months. We provide fringe benefits such as semi-annual bonus es， four weeks of paid vacation a year， and health insurance. An average executive secretary gets about 40， 000 yuan RMB a year.
B： When can you reach a final decision， Mr. Waley.
C： We've got several other applicants， so we can't reach a final decision until we've talked to all of them. Anyway， I'll contact you within this month， and keep you informed of our processing progress.

C： Thank you for your interest in this company. Good-bye， Miss Wang.
