EMPLOYER: Hello, is this John Murphy?
APPLICANT: Hi, yes it is.
EMPLOYER: Hi John, this is Ed Heisenburg from the Wild Dunes Spa and Resort calling about your application for our lifeguard (Example) position. Do you have a few minutes to talk?
APPLICANT: Yes, absolutely.
EMPLOYER: Great. Could you give me your address?
APPLICANT: Sure. My address is 45 Elsinore Court.
EMPLOYER: I’m sorry, was that Eleanor? Could you spell that for me?
APPLICANT: Sure - it’s Elsinore. E-L-S-I-N-O-R-E.
EMPLOYER: Okay, thanks. And is this the number we should reach you at in the future? 099885767?
APPLICANT: No, this is my home phone, but let me give you my mobile phone number instead: 077896245. Call me on that one.
EMPLOYER: Okay - I’ll make a note of that. Could you tell me your availability?
APPLICANT: Sure. I am usually available during afternoons or weekends. I would prefer not to be scheduled on weeknights because I work part-time as a waiter .
EMPLOYER: That shouldn’t be a problem, since we don’t stay open very late anyway. And do you have any other employment experience?
APPLICANT: Yes, I have worked at a few other places. I was the baseball coach at Ridgemont High School last season.
EMPLOYER: I see. And do you have any other experience that you would like us to note on your application?
APPLICANT: Yes. Last year I worked at the beach as a rescue diver.
EMPLOYER: Rescue diver? That sounds intense!
APPLICANT: Well, it’s really just like being a lifeguard, except in the ocean instead of a pool. So kind of like being a lifeguard at the world’s largest pool.
EMPLOYER: Haha. I see.
EMPLOYER: So could you tell me about the relevant skills you have? I’m guessing a lot, given your experience.
APPLICANT: I am CPR certified and have 2 years of diving experience.
EMPLOYER: Great! It sounds like you are well qualified for this position. When does your CPR certification expire?
APPLICANT: Hm. I think in November, but let me quickly check my CPR card ... actually, it expires in October.
EMPLOYER: Okay, so regardless you have it through the end of the summer. When is your ideal time to work?
APPLICANT: Since I work in the restaurant on weeknights, I like weekends best - specifically Saturday mornings.
EMPLOYER: I see. We do already have a lot of staff available on Saturdays, but I do need an early morning shift lifeguard. How early could you work Saturday morning?
APPLICANT: I can get there by 6.00 if need be.
EMPLOYER: You’ll be happy to know we open a little later than that, but I’ll put you down for Saturday mornings here.
APPLICANT: Oh awesome! I can’t wait to get started.
EMPLOYER: How about you come in next Saturday, the 12th?
APPLICANT: That sounds good.
EMPLOYER: Great - we can figure out other shifts for you to work when you come in then. One last thing - just out of curiosity, where did you hear about us?
APPLICANT: I heard your ad on the radio while I was driving this morning.
EMPLOYER: You know, I think you’re the first person who has responded to our radio ads. It’s almost always people who have seen us in the newspaper.
APPLICANT: Yeah, I don’t have time to read through the newspaper every morning. I have plenty of time in the car to listen to radio ads
EMPLOYER: That makes sense. Well, thanks for your time, and we’ll look forward to seeing you on the 12th.
