W: Good Morning. Please sit down. Why do you want to be a journalist? M: Because I've always been interested in language and writing. W: Since you're a graduate, you are older than the trainee we're looking for. Why did you apply for the job? M: My age may be wrong. But my preparation for the job is right. W: You are from London. We like our reporters to have local connections. Did you live at home while you were at the university? M. No. I rented a flat. I enjoyed the freedom, the contacts and the friendship. W: Apart from your studies, what did you do with your time at London University? M. Much of it was spent on research of the kind I would have to do for a newspaper. W: What else? M: In my final year I helped with the student newspaper, and I also tried broadcasting on local radio. I presented a weekly student programme called 'Forum'. Writing for radio and producing a programme was exciting and rewarding. We had a strict time table. W: You have to work against the clock like that on a newspaper. You didn't waste your time. M: I didn't. W: Good. Can you start on Monday? M: Yes, Madam, and thank you very much. What kind of job is the man applying for?
