Hello, welcome Mr. Anders. It's a pleasure to have you here. How are you?

Good morning, I am great, thank you. Happy to be here. How are you, sir?

I'm fine, thank you. I understand you weren't born in this country, is that correct?

Yes sir, that's correct. I am from a different country. As you can see, I traveled to this beautiful country to find new opportunities and well, here I am.

That's interesting. Why did you decide to leave your country and come here to work?

Things are not going very well in my country. The economy is declining more and more every day. You can't find a job easily and even if you studied in a university and you have a degree, it's difficult. And when you find the job, the salary is really bad. What you can earn is never enough to survive. That's why we decided to come here to this beautiful country to find better opportunities.

I understand. Don't tell me you are illegal in this country. If so, we will not be able to give you work.

Since we decided to come here, we wanted to do things right from the beginning. I consider myself as a correct person, or at least I always try to do the right thing, sir.

That's good. We don't like informalities. This is a very serious company.

I know, sir. And that is one of the reasons I am here. I really want to work in this company.

Well, we'll see. Why don't you start by telling me a little about yourself, please?

Sure. I've worked as a personal assistant for eight years now, serving a variety of executives and department heads. I love the work, especially when I get to use my talent for planning and efficiency. I think I'm now ready to move up to a more challenging level, which is why I'm interested in becoming the executive assistant to the CEO. I know it is challenging, but I feel ready for that. If you give me the opportunity, I can show you I am more than ready.

All right. And how did you know about this job position?

I came to this country with a plan in my mind. I promised myself I would work in a place like this. When I came here, I was working in a company but it didn't go well so I had to quit the job. Then I had to do many things. I'm not afraid to tell you that I sold burgers in the Central Square. I had to do many things to put food on the table at home. And then a friend told me about this job position. He works here, his name is Brandon. He's an assistant and he said I should apply. So I decided to do it. Here I am. I feel I am the right person for this position.

And why did you decide to quit your last job? It is important for us to know that, please.

Yeah, that's okay. I can tell you why. First, they asked me to work overtime. I wanted to help the company grow, so I agreed. But then they told me to work extra days. I mean, they wanted me to come to work on Saturday and they were not going to pay me anything. I accepted one Saturday, but no more. I don't think that's fair. I can work overtime, I am always willing to help the company grow, but there is a limit. I think that's why I quit.

Probably I would have done the same as you. So that's okay, don't worry. All right, now how could you describe yourself?
