Can I help you?

 Yes, I’m looking for a job.

Do you want a part-time job, or do you want to work full time?

I want a full-time job. I don’t want to work part time.

Can you work at night or do you prefer to work nine to five?

I don’t mind when I work but I’d like a well- paid job. I can work long hours and I always job hard. I  don’t want to work only 8 hours a day – I can stay at work for 12 hours or more!

Well, we need factory workers. We pay 10£ an hour.

Have you got anything else? That’s quite a boring job and quite badly-paid job too. I’m hoping for £15 an hour or more.
