Conversation 2 - dialogue

1. Mrs Davies:
   Good morning Mr Armstrong. please take a seat. My name is Mrs Davies. I’m the personnel Manager.
2. Mr Armstrong: Good morning Mrs Davies. I’m very pleased to meet you.
3. Mrs Davies:
   I hope you found us OK. I see you live in Leeds. Did you have a good journey?
4. Mr Armstrong:
   Yes, thanks. I travelled down very early this morning so I got into Bedford at 9 o’clock and had a look around the town.
5. Mrs. Davis:
   Well Mr Armstrong. I see from your application that at present you work for A B Engineering Ltd. And that you are Assistant Marketing Manager.
6. Mr Armstrong:
   That’s correct. I have worked in the marketing department since I joined the company from school in 1988. I was made Assistant Marketing Manager two years ago.
7. Mrs Davies:
   How many staff work in the marketing department?
8. Mr Armstrong:
   Twenty seven altogether including three trainees.
9. Mrs Davies:
   Why are you thinking of leaving A B Engineering Ltd?
10. Mr Armstrong:
    Well. I have been with A B for a long time. But more important is that the Marketing Manager is only five years older than I am so it will be very difficult for me to get promotion there.
11. Mrs Davies:
    I see. That’s why you applied for this position, is it?
12. Mr Armstrong:
    Yes. It was a chance to become Marketing Manager in a new company and in a new area.
