ALEX: I can see by your resume here that you studied business administration.
MORGAN: That's right.
ALEX: So I wonder why you want to work for a newspaper.
MORGAN: I did reporting for the university newspaper at my school.And I've always been very interested in journalism.
ALEX: But journalism--it's a very different profession from administration.You know a lot about administration.Why don't you choose to work for a company looking to train managers?
MORGAN: I studied administration, yes, but I am more attracted to writing articles.I want to use my knowledge of business to write financial news.
ALEX: A new reporter must expect to work many hours.
MORGAN: I know that the profession requires dedication.
ALEX: You should expect to work more than fifty hours a week.And there is a lot of pressure in this job.You have to get stories in by the deadline.You have to be very independent. You have to know how to arrange things by yourself.
MORGAN: I know that beginning reporters work many hours.I am very willing to take on the challenge.
ALEX: May I ask how well you know the city?
MORGAN: I grew up here.
ALEX: But you went to college in Maine.So you haven't lived here for almost five years, yes?
MORGAN: Yes, that's true. But I grew up on the north side of town.And I know this city very well. I have no trouble getting where I need to go.
ALEX: That's good. Because if you're hired, we will be sending you everywhere.The job is in the city news department.
MORGAN: Yes, I'm aware of that.
ALEX: Judging by the stories you gave us, I'd say your writing is very good.Have you written things other than newspaper stories?
MORGAN: I have experience writing newsletters for a health club.I mentioned that in my resume.
ALEX: You did that while you were in school?
MORGAN: Yes.
ALEX: Oh, yes, I see it. Well, I think our interview is complete then.Are there any questions you would like to ask me?
MORGAN: No, not at the moment.
ALEX: Alright, then. We will probably be giving you a call in ten days or so.I have to interview several more people.
MORGAN: Thank you, Mr. Jones.
