max: -------- Hi Paula. How's the job hunting going?
paula: ----- Oh, OK. I applied for a job in sales and I had an interview last week. There were about ten other interviewees sitting outside the interview room when I got there, so there's a lot of competition.
max: -------- I'm sure you'll do well. I was impressed with your CV when I read it. Do you need a character reference? I can write one for you if you like.
paula: ----- Oh, thanks, Max. I'll let you know if they ask for one. The next stage of the selection process is psychometric tests.
max: -------- Oh, I've never done those before, but I had a handwriting analysis once. They said I was a dreamer and couldn't take risks - a bit strange as I now have my own company!

max: -------- OK, see you soon and good luck.
