9.-1 IELTS9-Test1-Listening-1 Job Enquiry

WOMAN:Good evening. King's Restaurant. MAN:Good evening. I'm ringing about the job I understand you have vacant. WOMAN:Oh yes. MAN:I'd like to find out a few more details, if I may. WOMAN:Yes, of course. Can I take your name? MAN:It's Peter Chin. WOMAN:Okay, Peter. Well, if you want to ask about the job and then if we're both still interested, we could arrange for you to come for an interview. MAN:Great, thanks. I'm afraid I missed the advert for the job but heard about it from a friend. WOMAN:That's no problem at all. What would you like to know? MAN:Well, urn, what sort of work is it - washing up? WOMAN:It's answering the phone. MAN:Oh right, fine. WOMAN:And not waiting at table. MAN:That'd be good. And how many nights a week would it be? WOMAN:Well, we're really only busy at the weekend. MAN:So two nights? WOMAN:Three actually, so it would work out at twelve hours a week. MAN:That'd be fine. It wouldn't interfere with my studies. WOMAN:Are you at the university? MAN:Yes. First year Physics student. WOMAN:Oh, right. MAN:Urn, and because I'm not an EU national would I need a work permit? WOMAN:Yes you would. Just get your tutor to sign it. MAN:That wouldn't be a problem, if I were to get the job. Urn, where exactly is the restaurant? WOMAN:Well, we have two branches - the one we're recruiting for is in Hillsdunne Road. MAN:I don’t know that. How do you spell it please? WOMAN:It's H-I-double L-S-D-U-double N-E Road. MAN:Got that. Thanks. Is it near a bus stop? WOMAN:Yes. The nearest one would probably be just beside the Library. MAN:Oh yes. I know it. That'd be fine for me. And could I ask about the pay? WOMAN:We're offering £4.45 an hour. MAN:That's very good. My last job was £3.95 an hour. WOMAN:We feel it's pretty good and we also offer some good fringe benefits. MAN:Really? WOMAN:Well, we give you a free dinner, so you eat well. MAN:Right, better than hostel food! WOMAN:We certainly hope so! And we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays. MAN:Oh, that's a really good perk, isn't it? WOMAN:Yes, we think so. And then because of the difficulties of getting public transport, if you're working after 11 o'clock we drive you home. MAN:Oh, that's good to know. WOMAN:Well, we'd certainly be interested in inviting you for an interview, if you're still interested? MAN:Oh yes, certainly. Could I just also ask what qualities you're looking for? WOMAN:Well, for this particular job we want a clear voice, which you obviously do have! MAN:Thanks. WOMAN:And you must be able to think quickly, you know. MAN:Well. I hope I’d ...

WOMAN:So, when could you come in for an interview? We're actually quite quiet tonight? MAN:Sorry. I couldn't come tonight. Or tomorrow, I’m afraid Thursday's okay –that’d be 22nd of October. WOMAN:Fine, after 5 p.m.? MAN:Yes, fine. Would 6 o'clock be okay? WOMAN:Perfect. And could you bring along the names of two referees? MAN:Yes, that's fine, no problem. WOMAN:Good. I look forward to seeing you. MAN:Oh, by the way, who should I ask for? WOMAN:Oh yes, of course, sorry. My name is Samira Manuja. MAN:Can you spell that, please? WOMAN:m-a-n-u-j-a. MAN:Okay. I've got that. Thanks very much. WOMAN:Look forward to seeing you later on then ...
