Welcome back to the offices of Tip Top Trading, where **Anna**'s interview for a sales job continues. When we last said goodbye, Tip Top boss **Paul** had asked **Anna** + +why she wanted the job. First she said: + +**Anna** + +Errr... mmmmm... + +Narrator +Since then, she's added: + +**Anna** + +Mmmm... errr... + +Narrator +And as we join her again, **Anna** + +is saying: + +**Anna** + +Well, errrr... I'm errr. + +Narrator +Come on, **Anna** + +! If you can't think of the word you need, find another way of saying it. + +**Anna** + +I am... Well, I really, really want this job and I am willing to work very hard if I get it. + +**Paul** + +So you’re very motivated, then? + +**Anna** + +Motivated! Yes, that’s it. I am really motivated. + +**Paul** + +Good! Why? + +Narrator +Now over to you **Anna** + +; structure your answer! Say, 'firstly', then give your first reason, 'secondly' and then a second reason. Then say, 'above all' and give a really, really good, enthusiastic final reason! Go for it: firstly! + +**Anna** + +Firstly! + +**Paul** + +Firstly...? + +**Anna** + +Firstly, this job is an ideal match for my skills and experience: I've spent several years working in sales and I get on with people easily. Well, I mean, apart from the ones I don't like, of course. Secondly, I know Tip Top Trading is one of the fastest-growing companies in London, and I want to be part of that. + +**Paul** + +That's absolutely right. Tip Top Trading is the fastest-growing company in the plastic fruit sector. But enough about the company; this is all about you, Annabel. + +**Anna** + +**Anna** + +. + +**Paul** + +Sorry, **Anna** + +. Where were we? + +**Anna** + +Well, I said that firstly, this job is an ideal match for my skills and experience, secondly, the company is growing fast... and… and… above all… the reason I want this job is… + +**Paul** + +Yes? (knock on the door) Denise! Is everything alright? + +Denise +No **Paul** +, it’s not. Everything is not OK! + +**Paul** + +You look pale. Here, sit down, drink what's left of my tea. + +Denise +Oh, thank you! Oh… what are those bits floating in it? + +**Paul** + +Oh they're just lumps of soggy biscuit. In fact, if I can just... get that bit out... with my finger... for you… Mmm, delicious! Now, tell me what happened. + +Denise +Well, it's terrible... + +Narrator +Oh dear! Just as **Anna** + +was doing really well, it looks like her interview has come to a sudden end. What’s happened? Join us next time to find out. But before we go, here's a reminder of how **Anna** structured her response: + + Firstly, this job is an ideal match for my skills and experience + Secondly, I know Tip Top Trading is one of the fastest-growing companiesin London and… + above all… the reason I want this job is… + +**Anna** + +couldn’t remember the word ‘motivated’, so she just found another way of saying what she meant. + + I really, really want the job and I am willing to work very hard if I get it. + +Nice work, **Anna** +!
