Sheila: Hello, this is Sheila, I have a phone interview with this office scheduled for now. Can I please speak with Mr. Mark Cantor? Mark: Ah, of course. Hello Sheila, this is Mark, it's nice to meet you. Thanks for calling. Sheila: It's my pleasure. Mark: All right then, let's get started, shall we? Can you tell me about why you are interested in working at our office? Sheila: Well, I've been studying politics at university and am graduating this May, I'm looking for a job that has me intimately involved with the legislative process. I'd like to do research, write speeches, and interact with Congressional Members. Working in politics and getting to talk with Senators and Representatives sounds really exciting to me. Mark: Great, and can you tell me a little about your previous experiences? Sheila: Well, my most recent job was working at the school's newspaper as a politics columnist. It wasn't the best in terms of pay but it was better than my other jobs and gave me a good chance to practice writing about something I liked. Mark: Fair enough. What can you say about your strengths and weaknesses? Sheila: I think that my best trait is that I am very dedicated and driven. However, at the same time, this can be my worst characteristic—sometimes I have a hard time knowing when to quit. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!
