M: Hello, can I speak to Miss Leaney?

W: This is Leaney. May I know who’s calling?

M: I’m Adam Watt from the Seven Star Insurance Company. Thank you for your interest in our company. I need some more information from your side.

W: Oh, sure, Mr. Watt, please go ahead.

M: You’ve got a degree in finance. Why did you apply for this job?

W: I read the job description and discovered a few interesting programs that I’d like to be a part of. They are challenging yet rewarding, just the sort of things I consider to fit me best.

M: I see. But given your educational background, wouldn’t you want to work for some bigger companies?

W: I prefer smaller companies to bigger ones because smaller business has the ability to be more flexible in its service offerings. In a small company we can provide our customers with the exact service that they need. By doing this, we can form a closer relationship with our customers as if they were our neighbors or relatives.

M: That’s very interesting. When will you be available for employment?

W: In two weeks. I promise my parents a ten-day visit. I can start work immediately after I’m back.

M: Great. I’ll call you back in a couple of days about our final decision.

W: OK, thank you very much.
