Speaker 1 (1)
Good morning. Thanks for coming in to see us here at the agency, Joe.
Speaker 1 (2)
I'm one of the agency representatives, and my name's Sally Baker.
Speaker 2 (3)
Hi, Sally. I think we spoke on the phone, didn't we?
Speaker 1 (4)
That's right. We did. So thank you for sending in your CV.
Speaker 1 (5)
We've had quite a careful look at it, and I think we have 2 jobs that might be suitable for you.
Speaker 2 (6)
Okay.
Speaker 1 (7)
The first one is in a company based in North London. They're looking for an administrative assistant.
Speaker 2 (8)
Okay. What sort of company is it?
Speaker 1 (9)
Uh, they're called Home Solutions, and they design and make furniture.
Speaker 2 (10)
Oh, I don't know much about that, but it sounds interesting.
Speaker 1 (11)
Yes. Well, as I said, they want someone in their office, and looking at your past experience, it does look as if you fit quite a few of the requirements.
Speaker 1 (12)
So on your CV it appears you've done some data entry?
Speaker 2 (13)
Yes.
Speaker 1 (14)
So that's one skill they want. Then they expect the person they appoint to attend meetings and take notes there.
Speaker 2 (15)
Okay. I've done that before. Yes.
Speaker 1 (16)
And you need to be able to cope with general admin.
Speaker 2 (17)
Filing and keeping records and so on, but that should be okay.
Speaker 2 (18)
And in my last job, I also had to manage the diary.
Speaker 1 (19)
Excellent. That's something they want here too.
Speaker 1 (20)
I'd suggest you add it to your CV. I don't think you mentioned that, did you?
Speaker 2 (21)
No.
Speaker 1 (22)
So as far as the requirements go, they want good computer skills, of course, and they particularly mention spreadsheets.
Speaker 2 (23)
That should be fine.
Speaker 1 (24)
And interpersonal skills, which would be something they'd check with your references.
Speaker 2 (25)
I think that should be okay. Yes.
Speaker 1 (26)
Then they mentioned that they want someone who is careful and takes care with details.
Speaker 1 (27)
Just looking at your CV, I'd say you're probably all right there.
Speaker 2 (28)
I think so. Yes. Do they want any special experience?
Speaker 1 (29)
I think they wanted some experience of teleconferencing.
Speaker 2 (30)
Oh, I've got 3 years' experience of that.
Speaker 1 (31)
Uh-huh. Let's see. Yes. Good. In fact, they're only asking for at least 1 year, so that's great.
Speaker 1 (32)
So is that something that might interest you?
Speaker 2 (33)
It is. Yes. The only thing is you said they were in North London, so it would be quite a long commute for me.
Speaker 1 (34)
So the second position might suit you better as far as the location goes.
Speaker 1 (35)
And that's for a warehouse assistant, and that's in South London.
Speaker 2 (36)
Yes. That would be a lot closer.
Speaker 1 (37)
And you've worked in a warehouse before, haven't you?
Speaker 2 (38)
Yes.
Speaker 1 (39)
So as far as the responsibilities for this position go, they want someone who could manage the stock, obviously, and also deliveries.
Speaker 2 (40)
That should be okay. You've got to keep track of stuff, but I've always been quite good with numbers.
Speaker 1 (41)
Good. That's their first requirement. And they want someone who's computer literate, which we know you are.
Speaker 2 (42)
Sure.
Speaker 1 (43)
Then they mention organizational skills. They want someone who's well organised.
Speaker 2 (44)
Yes. I think I am.
Speaker 1 (45)
And tidy?
Speaker 2 (46)
Yes. They go together, really, don't they?
Speaker 1 (47)
Sure. Then the usual stuff. They want someone who can communicate well both orally and in writing.
Speaker 2 (48)
Okay. And for the last warehouse job I had, one of the things I enjoyed most was being part of a team.
Speaker 2 (49)
I found that was really essential for the job.
Speaker 1 (50)
Excellent. Yes. They do mention that they want someone who's used to that. Yes.
Speaker 1 (51)
Now when you were working in a warehouse last time, what sorts of items were you dealing with?
Speaker 2 (52)
It was mostly bathroom and kitchen equipment, sinks and stoves and fridges.
Speaker 1 (53)
So you're okay moving heavy things?
Speaker 2 (54)
Sure. I'm quite strong, and I've had the training.
Speaker 1 (55)
Good. Now as far as experience goes, they mention they want someone with a licence, and that you have experience of driving in London, so you can cope with the traffic and so on.
Speaker 2 (56)
Yes. No problem.
Speaker 1 (57)
And you've got experience of warehouse work.
Speaker 1 (58)
And the final thing they mention is customer service. I think looking at your CV, you're okay there.
Speaker 2 (59)
Right. So what about pay? Can you tell me a bit..
