1Hello?
2Oh, hello. Is that Julie Davison?
3Yes.
4This is Greg Preston from the Employment Agency.
5We met last week when you came in to enquire about office work.
6Oh, that's right.
7Now we've just had some details come in of a job which might interest you.
8OK.
9So this is a position for a receptionist,
10I believe you've done that sort of work before?
11Yes, I have,
12I worked in a sports centre for a couple of years before I got married and had the children.
13Right.
14Well, this job's in Fordham, so not too far away for you,
15and it's at the medical centre there.
16OK.
17So where exactly is that?
18It's quite near the station, on Chastons Road.
19Sorry?
20Chastons Road,
21that's C-H-A-S-T-O-N-S.
22OK, thanks.
23So what would the work involve?
24Dealing with enquiries from patients?
25Yes,
26and you'd also be involved in making appointments,
27whether face to face or on the phone.
28And rescheduling them if necessary.
29Fine, that shouldn't be a problem.
30And another of your duties would be keeping the centre's database up-to-date.
31Then you might have other general administrative duties as well,
32but those would be the main ones.
33OK.
34Now when the details came in, I immediately thought of you
35because one thing they do require is someone with experience,
36and you did mention your work at the sports centre when you came in to see us.
37Yes, in fact I enjoyed that job.
38Is there anything else they're looking for?
39Well, they say it's quite a high-pressure environment,
40they're always very busy,
41and patients are often under stress,
42so they want someone who can cope with that and stay calm,
43and at the same time be confident when interacting with the public.
44Well, after dealing with three children all under five,
45I reckon I can cope with that.
46I'm sure you can.
47And then another thing they mention is that they're looking for someone with good IT skills...
48Not a problem.
49So you'd be interested in following this up?
50Sure.
51When would it start?
52Well, they're looking for someone from the beginning of next month,
53but I should tell you that this isn't a permanent job,
54it's temporary, so the contract would be just to the end of September.
55But they do say that there could be further opportunities after that.
56OK.
57And what would the hours be?
58Well, they want someone who can start at 7:45 in the morning.
59Could you manage that?
60Yes, my husband would have to get the kids up and off to my mother's,
61she's going to be looking after them while I'm at work.
62What time would I finish?
631:15
64That should work out all right.
65I can pick the kids up on my way home,
66and then I'll have the afternoon with them.
67Oh, one thing...
68is there parking available for staff at the centre?
69Yes, there is.
70and it's also on a bus route.
71Right.
72Well, I expect I'll have the car but it's good to know that.
73OK, so where do I go from here?
74Well, if you're happy for me to do so,
75I'll forward your CV and references,
76and then the best thing would probably be for you to phone them
77so they can arrange for an interview.
78Great. Well thank you very much.
79You're welcome. Bye now.
80Bye.
