IV. Speaking Out
MODEL 1   Can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?
Susan: John, can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?
John:  Did you go to the job fairs and meet with companies?
Susan: Yeah, I did. But they didn’t seem to be interested in women. I thought about suing then for sexual discrimination.
John:  I’m afraid it won’t be much help. Have you looked at the want ads in the newspaper?
Susan: I’ve been checking the want ads every day for a week, but I can’t find anything interesting that I’m qualified¹ for. And the few that I have seen are very low-paying.
John: Then try the Internet. You can use a search engine to find a job site related to your field.
Susan: Good thinking! Thanks! I think I’ll look for something in electronic engineering.
John:  Hey, I just saw a job opening at a company called E-Tech. It could be just the sort of thing you’re looking for.
Susan: Great, I’ll try my luck there.
John:  Yeah, but if I remember, the deadline is this afternoon.
Susan: This afternoon? Oh no! I’d better get online quickly and see if I can submit my resume by E-mail.
John: Wait, have you updated your resume? You’d better include your work experience from the IT company last summer.
Susan: Don’t worry. It’s all set. Thanks, mate.
John:  Any time, Sue.
