M: To start with, would you like to tell me a bit about yourself?

C: Sure. I

’

m a senior student at Guangdong University of Finance. I expect to

graduate this summer. My major is international finace.

M: So, why did you choose our company?

C: As far as I know, your company is one of several leading international consultant

corporations which came to China after China entered WTO. I think working here

would give me the best chance to use what I

’

ve learned at university.

C: Well, I know how to tackle problems. For example, I know I must first analyse

the problem, I know I must first analyse the problem and work out its major cause.

Then I will be able to search for ways to solve it from the available data.

factory in Nanjing. I really learned a lot from the experience especially how to assess

people

s strengths and abilities. M: Can you cope with hard work under pressure and

in a tough environment? C: No problem. I don

’

t care about pressure or the

environment, as long as I enjoy the work.

C: Yes, I

’

ve got one. Are there any opportunities for Chinese employees to be

transferred to the head office in New York or other branch offices around the world?

M: Probably. I think you are likely to be sent to work an overseas branch to get

experience later on once when you have proved your worth.

C: Oh, great. If I

’

m accepted, I will do my best for the company.

M: I wish you luck! We

’

ll notify you of our final decision by Friday. C: Thank you,

Ms. Mandel. Goodbye.
