Answers For Prime Recruiment Employee Record

Clive: Hello, Edwinari, is it? Have a seat.

Edwinari: Yes, Edwinari. Thanks. I'm looking for a job as a nanny. I like working with children. I talked to you yesterday?

Clive: Oh, yes. Well, we covered most of the ground on the phone yesterday. I've got a form I need to complete for my records. So, you're Edwinari Riley, and how should we contact you?

Edwinari: By email. I check it regularly.

Clive: What's the address?

Edwinari: 1It's Edwinari like my name then R-I, the first two letters of my surname. @worldnet.com.

Clive: 1E-D-W-I-N-A-R-I @ worldnet.om?

Edwinari: Yes.

Clive: Good. And you're from Australia?

2Edwinari: Actually, I'm a New Zealander.

Clive: Oh, I'm sorry. I bet it's really irritating being told you're an Australian. Like Canadians being asked what part of the States they're from.

Edwinari: I'm used to it. It happens to us all the time.

Clive: And now, you said on the phone that you could bring me some references? One from someone who's known you in a professional capacity and one personal one?

Edwinari: Ah, yeah. Here's one from. 3John Keen, who was the manager at the play centre in Wellington where l worked for three years after I left school. It's got all contact details on.

Clive: Thank you. So this was your last employer?

Edwinari: Yes, apart from a bit of waitressing recently, but that was just temporary. I'm sure John will answer any questions if you contact him.

Clive: We do run checks, yes. And a personal reference?

Edwinari: Ah, you can contact the friend of my mother's. 4I'm staying with here in London: Eileen Dorsini. She's a professor.

Edwinari: She's known me all my life because she used to be our neighbour back home when she was a primary school teacher there. Now she's working here at the Institute of Education.

Clive: Oh good!

Edwinari: I've got her contact details here for you.

Clive: Thanks. I think I have some jobs to suit you. Oh, do you have any practical qualifications, by the way? Life-saving, music, anything?

Edwinari: 5Um, I've got an up-to-date first aid certificate. I did a course when I was working.

Clive: That's good. First aid. Anything else?

Edwinari: Well, I've got a driving licence; as I told you on the phone. But that's not special, you said, almost everyone needs that really. 6I've got a sailing qualification, it's a certificate of competence.

Clive: So you're a yachtswoman?

Edwinari: I love sailing.

Clive: Well, I'll note you have a certificate. Hmm. Now, as I mentioned yesterday, there are three families and the job description is much the same for all of them, as I explained. There are a few other things you need to know. Anyway, the first family's here in London.

Edwinari: Yes, I did make a few notes. London, er, that's the Bentons? With two children?

Edwinari: Oh well, I know what to do if someone has an allergic reaction.

Clive: 7Good, but what they mainly want is someone with an interest in sport, as that's the kind of family they are.

Edwinari: Oh that's OK. I'll enjoy that.

Clive: Good. Now the next people are in the country, near Oxford.

Edwinari: Oh yeah, the Grangers?

Clive: 8So, they have twin boys of five, who are a bit of a handful, I suspect, but it's a lovely place, quite a grand house, and the family is extremely welcoming. They keep horses. Do you ride?

Edwinari: I did when I was younger. I like animals generally.

Clive: Well, 'animal-lover' was their special request, so you'd be fine there. The last family ...

Edwinari: Yes?

Clive: 9I don't think I told you they live in Scotland.

Edwinari: Really? What's their name?

Clive: Campbell.

Edwinari: Oh, yes. And they have four girls under ten?

Clive: That's it. They have a lovely city flat, and they own a small island.

Edwinari: Wow!

Clive: Actually, you might get on with them very well. 10They particularly wanted someone who would be prepared to cook when they go camping on the island.

Edwinari: Camping would really suit me and I'm used to taking my turn doing the food. But it is a long way from London.

Clive: Mm. Yeah, well, you can think about it. Um, then as soon as I've checked your references, we can arrange for you to talk to all of the families.

Edwinari: Right. Thanks very much!

Clive: Thank you! I'll email you as soon as I can
