A JOB INTERVIEW
Mark wanted to become a dog-sitter. After he had applied for a job for a long time, he finally found an advice: they were looking for young people who love animals and working outside. He thought it was the right job for him. He went for an interview. The interviewer asked him his name and his surname, then the way he had found information about the job. Mark answered he had found an advice and the interviewer was very surprised: it was the first time somebody answered that advice. The interviewer asked Mark if he had never worked with animals before. He told him he had been taking care of some animals like cats, dogs or rabbits, and he loved them. The interviewer asked him if he loved working outside and Mark explained he had always gone outside with the animals. At the end the interviewer asked Mark what he had been doing up to that moment and he answered he had been a babysitter for some neighbours and an animator in a summer camp in a farm. The interviewer asked him his telephone number and said he would phone him. He also added that in his opinion he was the right person to do that job. Mark went back home very happy. A few days after the interviewer called him and he started working as a dog-sitter the following week.
