Interviewer: Why should we employ you, Mr. Higgins? Mr. Higgins: You won’t find anyone better suited to this job than I am. I’ve usually made a great success of any jobs that I have taken on. And I badly need this job because my wife is expecting and I’ve been out of work for six months now.
Mr. Higgins is unemployed for now.
Interviewer: Why should we employ you, Miss Smith?
Miss Smith: As we have been discussing, I have the experience and qualifications that you ask for in your advertisement for the post. I’m a good team player. I can take the instructions and I have the desire to make a thorough success of this job.
Interviewer: Are you willing to take calculated risks, Mr. Higgins?
Mr. Higgins: Oh yes, most certainly. Life is risk. All business involves risk and you can’t win anything if you don’t take risks.
Interviewer: And, are you willing to take calculated risks, Miss Smith?
Mr. Higgins: Oh yes, most certainly. Life is risk. All business involves risk and you can’t win anything if you don’t take risks.
Interviewer: And, are you willing to take calculated risks, Miss Smith?
Miss Smith: I wonder if you could define calculated risks for me? Perhaps you could give me an example of the sort of risk that you have in mind and the stakes that are involved?
Interviewer: Which of the jobs you have held have you liked least, Mr. Higgins?
Mr. Higgins: All my jobs had their good and bad points, but I’ve always found that if you want to learn, there is plenty to be picked up along the way. Each experience was valuable. In my first job, I had, of course, to do a lot of very straightforward, routine jobs but I used the spare time and energy I had to learn as much as I could about office procedures, which has I think stood me in very good stead in later jobs.
Interviewer: And which of the jobs you have held have you liked least, Miss Smith?
Miss Smith: I suppose the job I last held was the worst. The people I was working with very backbiting and unpleasant and management were pretty inefficient. The job was also not nearly challenging enough for me at this stage in my career, which is why I decided it was time to move on.
Interviewer: Now, Mr. Higgins, in what areas do you feel that your last boss could have done a better job?
Mr. Higgins: Oh, I’ve always had the highest respect for my last boss. He has taught me so much that I don’t think he really could have done a better job. He’s really brought me to the point where I’m ready for greater challenges which is why I’m here now.
Interviewer: Now, Miss Smith, in what areas do you feel that your last boss could have done a better job?
Miss Smith: It’s hard to know where to begin. He’s lazy. He is inconsistent in his judgments and he is very poor at motivating people and at delegating work. It is hard for me to see how he ever got to a management position being as incompetent as he is.
