A job interview

Mika is a nurse. She is interviewing for a job with the manager of a hospital emergency room. He is looking at her resume and asking her some general questions.

Interviewer: It looks like you’ve done a lot of things since he became a nurse.

Mika: Yes, I’ve worked for a medical clinic. I’ve worked in a prison. I’ve worked in several area hospitals. And I’ve done volunteer work in a community health center for low-income patients.

Interviewer: Very good. But, let me ask you, why have you changed the job so often?

Mika: Well, I like having new challenges and different experiences.

Interviewer: Why have you applied for this job?

Mika: Well, I’m looking for something more fast-paced, and I’ve been interested in working in an E.R. for a long time. I’ve heard that this hospital provides great training for its staff, and it offers excellent patient care.

Interviewer: Thank you for coming in. I’ll call you next week with our decision.

Mika: It was good to meet you. Thank you for your time.
