W: Mr. Felix Smith. Can you come in? Please sit down.
M: Thank you. Good afternoon, Mrs. Brown.
W: (1) Well, now Mr. Smith—for a start—and just to set the ball rolling—can I check that you’re applying for the post of Management trainee, and that you’re graduating in Integrated Business Studies? Tell me, why integrated? Is there something special about...about this degree?
M: Yes, in a way there is. (2) The subjects in the program—Finance, Marketing, and Banking and so on—are taught as aspects of a single study—that of Business, rather than as separate disciplines which the student has to relate to each other as best he can. I chose it for that reason.
W: And what advantage do you think it has over a more conventional course of study?
M: (3-1) I think it’s more coherent and more motivating, and many of my friends on this and other courses agree with me. (3-2) Everything we have done, including the study of Economics which can easily seem rather dull and remote, is related to one or more of the sorts of careers that we plan to take up.
W: And what makes you apply for this training position, Mr. Smith?
M: I want to work for one of the premier banks in Hong Kong—indeed one of the great banks of the world. And I want the training opportunities offered by Standard Chartered.
W: (4-1) You see long-term opportunities as more important than the immediate salary, do you?
M: (4-2/5) Yes I do. And my family agree with me—and that’s generous of them. I’m looking two or three years ahead.
