2 D avid is having an interview for a job as a webmaster. Choose the correct words from the
drop-down menus.
HELP? Interviewer: So why (1) have you applied for this position?
David: Well, (2) for the last three years I (3) worked in an
interesting, but very small, company, and I now feel ready to move on to a bigger challenge. I’d welcome the
opportunity to continue my career at a company such as yours.
Interviewer: Right. And can you describe what your responsibilities are at – what’s your current company
called again? Ah, yes, at Intertech?
David: Of course. Well, I (4) have started working there three years (5) ago ,
as I (6) said , and (7) until July 2007 I (8) was
responsible for one aspect of the company’s online presence – specifically, the online catalogue. However, I
was then promoted and put in charge of the design and maintenance of the entire website. In January 2008, I
(9) helped to implement a new e-commerce system, which allows people to buy directly
from the catalogue using ‘one-click’ ordering. It (10) was very successful so far.
Interviewer: That’s very impressive. What about foreign languages? Your English is obviously very good, but
do you speak any other languages?
David: Well, French – my mother tongue – obviously. I also (11) spent some time in
Spain five years (12) ago as part of my degree, so I’d say I have intermediate Spanish.
I (13) haven’t been practising it much recently, though.
Interviewer: Well, it is hard to find the time, isn’t it? OK, just one more thing. (14) Have you
ever had experience of people management?
David: Yes, absolutely. At Intertech I’m in charge of one member of staff – a web editor. I’ve
(15) never had any problems with the management side of my role; in fact, I really enjoy it.
Interview: OK, well that’s good news. Well, we need to have a think about it, but we’ll let you know ASAP.
David: Thank you for seeing me today. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
