Agent: Hello. Westwood Employment Office. How can I help you?
Man: Good morning. I recently saw some part time jobs on your website. I’m here to see if there’s any good chance for me.
Agent: That’s right. We have vacancies for 5 part-time jobs at the moment. I can give you the main details of each job if you like.
Man: Yes, that would be great. I’d like to see which one suits me most.
Agent: So the first one I recommend is social worker who will help disabled people during the day in the community hospital.
Man: I’ve never done that before. I was wondering if they accept someone without any related experience?
Agent: 1For this job, training before you get started is compulsory. And the training will last for a week since this is required by the government.
Man: Okay, when do I need to attend the training?
Agent: For people who get started this month, part of the training will be delivered this Tuesday, during the day. The rest will be given on weekend.
Man: In that case, I don’t think I can attend as I may have some routine work to do this Tuesday, so what about the other jobs?
Agent: 2There is a post for a security guard in a supermarket.
Man: What are the hours of work?
Agent: 3There’s a night shift from 8pm to 6am. 4And you will get a free uniform before you start the job as they don’t allow employees to dress casually.
Man: Hmm, I’m not really keen on working night shifts. I get headache if I regularly stay up late. What are the other options?
Agent: 5If you are interested in sales, you can consider this one. It is a job at a furniture store. 6The only thing that you might not be happy with is that the work time may be variable.
Man: How’s the pay?
Agent: It’s pretty good, $20 an hour. 7The job requires the candidate to be reliable. I think you can qualify.
Man: Hmm, this is a hard one. I used to work for a furniture company, but the experience wasn’t satisfying, so I got to be careful this time. Is there an opportunity about working in an office?
Agent: 8How about working in a local school? There is a vacancy for teaching assistant. You can work regular hours from Monday to Friday.
Man: That sounds pretty nice. Does it require any skills?
Agent: 9It says that the candidate should be good with keyboard. I think most people have that skill nowadays.
Man: That wouldn’t be a problem, I’m pretty good at typing and using a variety of office software. Hmm I remember there is one more choice, right?
Agent: Yes. Part time actors. A movie company needs people to work part time at Kennedy Park this Saturday. It’s just for this week, though.
Man: That’s interesting. I might check that out.
Agent: Yes. They offer free transport, so you don’t have to worry about how to get there. 10If you are good at using body language, then it’s definitely for you.
Man: Did they say that the candidates need to be good-looking?
Agent: Well, above average.
Man: Thank you. I guess I can tell one of my friends who seems to have some potential in acting. But for me, I want to know more information about the teaching assistant job.
I used to be my cousins’ tutor, and I use computers every day, so I guess it’s the best one. Can you give me a brochure or something?
Agent: Yes. Here it is.
