W: Have you found a job yet?
M: No, and I’m getting discouraged. I went to the job market yesterday, but no one was really interested in hiring an English major.
W: I know what you mean. I was told by many of the companies there that they are looking for people with other skills. Fortunately, I am good at computing. I think I have a job lined up.
M: Tell me about it.
W: The first people I talked to said they were very interested in me, because I am familiar with Word Perfect. When they interviewed me, I was able to speak English better than the boss and he was very impressed with my combination of skills.
M: I was hoping to find a sales job with an import-export company.
W: You’d be good at that kind of job. Your English is very good. My older brother works for a Chinese American joint venture in Guangzhou and he is doing very well. He wanted me to go down there and work with him, but I think I would rather take this job here. If you would like, I will call him and ask him to help you find a job there.
M: I would really appreciate that. I know several of our classmates have found jobs there. It’s a long way from home, but I hear the pay is good there. Thank you for your help.
W: Don’ t mention it.
