Director: Please take a seat. We received your resume last week. Your credentials are excellent. Susan: Thank you. D: After you finished school you went to work for an insurance company. What were your duties there? S: At first I assisted the vice president of corporate sales. I did most of his legwork for him and took care of all the administrative duties. D: I see you were promoted twice. S: Yes, currently I’m the regional sales representative. D: May I ask why you want to leave your present employer after all this time? S: The position you advertised offers me the opportunity to move into a managerial position. I believe this is the right step at this point in my career. D: I see. You’re a very interesting candidate. I have to discuss your application with my colleagues. We’ll get back to you next week. S: Thank you very much. D: You’re welcome.
