• The Interruption

Narrator: Hello! Welcome back to the offices of Tip Top Trading, where Anna's
interview for a sales job continues. When we last said goodbye, Tip Top
boss Paul had asked Anna why she wanted the job. First she said:
Anna: Errr... mmmmm...
Narrator: Since then, she's added:
Anna: Mmmm... errr...
Narrator: And as we join her again, Anna is saying:
Anna: Well, errrr... I'm errr.
Narrator: Come on Anna! If you can't think of the word you need, find another way
of saying it.
Anna: I am... Well, I really, really want this job and I am willing to work very
hard if I get it.
Paul: So you’re very motivated, then?
Anna: Motivated! Yes, that’s it. I am really motivated.
Paul: Good! Why?
Narrator: Now over to you Anna, structure your answer! Say 'firstly', then give your
first reason, 'secondly' and then a second reason. Then say 'above all' and
give a really, really good, enthusiastic final reason! Go for it: firstly!
Anna: Firstly!
Paul: Firstly...?
Anna: Firstly, this job is an ideal match for my skills and experience: I've spent
several years working in sales and I get on with people easily. Well, I
mean, apart from the ones I don't like, of course. Secondly, I know Tip Top
Trading is one of the fastest-growing companies in London, and I want to
be part of that.
Paul: That's absolutely right, Tip Top Trading is the fastest growing company in
the plastic fruit sector. But enough about the company, this is all about
you, Annabel.
Anna: Anna.
Paul: Sorry, Anna. Where were we?
Anna: Well, I said that firstly, this job is an ideal match for my skills and
experience, secondly, the company is growing fast... and… and… above all
… the reason I want this job is-
Paul: Yes? (mnock on the door) Denise! Is everything all right?
Denise: No Paul, it’s not. Everything is not OK!
Paul: You look pale. Here, sit down, drink what's left of my tea.
Denise: Oh, thank you! Oh… what are those bits floating in it?
Paul: Oh they're just lumps of soggy biscuit. In fact, if I can just... get that bit
out... with my finger... for you… Mmm, delicious! Now, tell me what
happened.
Denise: Well, it's terrible...
Narrator: Oh dear! Just as Anna was doing really well, it looks like her interview has
come to a sudden end. What’s happened? Join us next time to find out. But
before we go, here's a reminder of how Anna structured her response:
Firstly, this job is an ideal match for my skills and experience
Secondly, I know Tip Top Trading is one of the fastest-growing companies in London
and… above all … the reason I want this job is..
Anna couldn’t remember the word ‘motivated’ so she just found another
way of saying what she meant.
I really, really want the job and I am willing to work very hard if I get it.
Nice work, Anna! Let's hope you get the chance to finish your interview
next week!
