Interviewer: Let's start with this job. What got you interested in working for a travel agency?
Applicant : Well, that's long story,actually. Ever since I was little ,I've been interested in foreign countries, especially their literature and culture. I majored in English in college so that I'd be able to understand those cultures better. I'm especially interested in the United States. Are you American?
Interviewer : No. I'm Canadian, actually.
Applicant : Oh, sorry. I think I just put my foot i n my mouth !
Interviewer : Oh, that's all right. I'm used to it.
Applicant : Well, anyway, excuse me for getting off the subject. As said, I'm very interested in foreign countries, especially the West,and so when I began thinking about getting a job, a travel agency seemed the logical choice. I'd like to be an overseas tour guide,actually.
Interviewer : There's a good chance of that if you work for this agency. Not right away, of course, but in a few years, after people learn something about the way the business runs,a lot of them go overseas with a group,or go beforehand to set up hotel arrangements and such.
Applicant : That would be interesting. I'd like to be a good tour guide,and help people really enjoy their trip.
