The interview

Q. Thank you for your application. I would like you to answer a few questions about you so that we can find out if you are right for the job.

A. I shall do the best I can but I don't know weather I can say any more than what I have already put on the form, you see.

Q. Well I don't think you need to worry on that because there are always things that people don't write on their application forms.

A. Well I would say that I haven't got nothing more to say except of course that I do need the money and that's it.

Q. All right we'll come to the matter of money in a minute but first I can say we are very expressed by the number of posts you have held.

A. Yes, I have done a lot of jobs when you come to think about it and in all sorts of places, hear and there you might say.

Q. Now a question about the sort of person you really are, particularly when it comes to children. Do you have a lot of patients?

A. Oh yes, well you have to, don't you? Take me for example, I've got ten children and so you have to keep your eyes on them, won't you?

Q. Well of course the classes here usually have about thirty children on average. How do you manage as a teacher looking about that number?

A. Excuse me I'm not a teacher. I think you must have the false application form. I came here for the job of school cleaner.
