W: Hi, John, it is good to see you.
M: Same here, Nancy. It has been a long time since I saw you last time.
W: Yes. How are you doing?
M: I am doing OK. It would be better if I have a new job right now. I already finished my studies and graduated last week. (1) Now, I want to get a job in the finance field. Payroll is not exactly finance.
W: How long have you been looking for a new job?
M: I just started this week.
W: Didn’t you have any interviews with those firms that came to our campus last month?
M: (2) I could only get one interview with Fidelity Company because of my heavy class schedule, but I guess I did not make it.
W: Don’t worry, John. You always did well in school. I know your good grades will help you get a job soon. (3) Besides, the job market is pretty good right now, and all companies need financial analysts.
M: I hope so.
W: You have prepared a resume, right?
M: Yes.
W: Did you mail your resume to a lot of companies?
M: Yes, I have sent it to a dozen companies already. I also do look closely at the employment ads listed in the newspaper every day.
W: Are there a lot of openings?
M: Quite a few. Some of them require a certain amount of experience and others are willing to train.
W: (4) My friends told me that it helps to do some homework before you go to an interview. You need to know the company well: What kind of business is it in? What types of products does it sell? How is it doing lately?
M: Yes. I am ready for that.
W: Well, the companies might also ask you some questions about finance theories to test your academic understanding.
M: I can handle that.
W: They might tell you about a problem and want you to come up with a solution.
M: I don’t know about that. I hope I will be able to give them a decent response if the need arises.
W: They will want to know you a little bit before they make a hiring decision. For example, what are your strengths and your weaknesses? How do you get along with people?
M: I need to work on those questions.
W: (5) Also, make sure you are on time. Nothing is worse than being late for an interview.
M: I know. I always plan to arrive about 10 or 15 minutes before the interview starts.
W: Good! It seems that you are well prepared for your job search. I am sure you will find a good job in no time.
M: I hope so.
