First of all, we'd like to know something about you, Candidate A, so I'm going to ask you some questions.
What are some of your responsibilities? I mean, what does your job involve?
Tell me about a typical day at work. What do you do on a daily basis?
How do you like your job?
Thank you. Now, we'd like to know something about you, Candidate B, so I'm going to ask you some questions.
What do you like most about your job?
What don't you like about your job?
Which part of the day do you like best?

【正确答案】Candidate A: I'm a sales manager. I'm in charge of overseeing sales operations for all of northern China, including Beijing. I have about 40 employees under me who are the regional sales representatives.
Candidate A: Most of the time, I sit behind a desk and answer phone calls. It's not a very active job, but I do enjoy it most of the time, except when I get a phone call from a very angry customer. Sometimes, they just want to shout at someone, and because I'm the first one to answer the phone, I get the full vent of their anger.
Candidate A: I enjoy it very much. It does have its ups and downs, but really it's quite a good job. I enjoy the people I work with too, which really can make or break a job. We work very well together and can trust each other to do our fair share.
Candidate B: I guess I like the pay. I know that sounds cold, but in fact my job is very routine and so I just feel that at least the pay gives me some satisfaction.
Candidate B: I think the worst part of my job is the long hours that I'm sometimes required to work. I think it should be designed so that I can be allowed to go home on time every night.
Candidate B: Going home from work! Well actually I should say stepping into my flat and greeting my baby daughter who is now about 2 years old.
