Interviewer: Hello, come in and sit down. So, it's Henry Beech, yes? First of all Henry, can you tell me where you heard about the job and why you want it?

Candidate (Henry): Well, I saw the advert for a store manager in the newspaper I thought that it looked ideal.

Interviewer: Do you have any experience as a store manager or have you ever done anything similar?

Henry: Well, as you can see on my CV I have had a few jobs working as a sales assistant in different department stores and so I know a little bit about what the job involves.

Interviewer: I see. And how would you describe yourself, Henry? What kind of a person are you?

Henry: Well, I think I am reliable, hard working and dedicated. I would also describe myself as proactive and I am able to make difficult decisions. I am able to relate well to all sorts of different people and also I can organise and manage projects and tasks. I also think that I have good problem solving skills.

Interviewer: Ok, that's always good to hear. What other skills do you think that you have that would help you in this position?

Henry: I think that someone in this position should be outgoing and friendly and I am both of those things.

Interviewer: Ok, well I think that's all I need to know for the moment. Do you have any questions that you would like to ask me?

Henry: No, I think that we have already talked about everything that I need to know.
