Michael: So, Alexander. Have a seat. How are you doing today?

Alexander: to tell you the truth. It's been a kind of a bad day.

Michael: Oh.. Sorry to hear that.

Alexander: Yes, It's raining. I don’t like really rainy days.

Michael: I see, right. So how about on a good day? What do you like to do in your spare time?

Alex: I like reading and watching T.V.

Michael: Really… What's your favorite TV show?

Alex: Mr. Bean. He's so funny, like the one with the Christmas Turkey, did you see that? . He reminds me a lot of
people I meet here. British people are so funny, you know.

Michael: Yes, they can be. Ok, well let's get down to business.

Can you tell me a little about your pervious experience?

Alex: My uncle managed to stay on electronics company and I helped him a lot. I would be perfect for this job.

Michael: That was in the Czech Republic?

Alex: that's right.

Michael: Ok. That sound good.

Alex: except back then, it was not like customer is king, you know what I mean.

Michael: We're always trying to put the customer first.

Alex: Yeah, I was just kidding .. me too of course.

Michael: Ok.. I just saw a gap in your resume 18 months, What were you doing?

Alex: I was finishing my master thesis on Ladislav Klima the Czech novelist and philosopher. It was the most
important thing in the world for me, so I had to take some time out.

Michael: That's interesting.

Alex: yes, you know, and Klima is my hero, he only ever took on short-term work, so I wanted to see the world
through his eyes.

Michael: Right.. got that
