Listening Track 38 S: So, why are you interested in this job? L: Well, I've done a lot of different types of work that I haven't liked, so I want to try marketing because I think it's an interesting area. S: What jobs have you done? L: I've worked as a waitress, in a shoe shop and in a clothes shop. S: Which job did you do the longest? L: The clothes shop. I was there for 18 months. S: And why did you leave? L: It closed - the owner retired. S: I see. And why do you think you would be good at marketing? L: Well, I think I'm quite creative - I was good at art at school. And I think I'd be good in an office. S: Why's that? L: I think it's a calm environment - all the places I've worked in were too noisy. S: OK, Lucy. Well, I'm seeing some other candidates this morning, but I'II contact you with our decision either this afternoon or tomorrow morning. L: OK, thank you.
Listening Track 24 I've never had a permanent job. I've been with an employment agency since 2007, when I left college. I work in a different office every few weeks on short contracts. It's interesting and I don't get bored. But, of course, you can't get a promotion in my situation. I've been a consultant for five years. I work for lots of different companies on different projects. Sometimes there is too much work and I'm very busy. At other times, there isn't enough work and I worry about money. I don't get a pension - that's a bit of a problem. But I don't like being an employee or having a boss, so this kind of work is good for me.
