Audio transcripts
V1: Hello, White Water Sports Centre.
Janet: Hello, er, I wanted to enquire about a job at the centre.
V1: Right, I’ll just put you through to the manager.
Steve: Hello, Steve Thompson speaking.
Janet: Hello, er, my name’s Janet Willis, Er, I’m looking for a part-time job and I saw
an ad saying that you have some vacancies. I was wondering what sort of people you
were looking for.
Steve: Well at present we’re looking for a part-time pool attendant.
Janet: oh, yes, I’ve spent the last three summers working for a children’s summer
camp, so I did a lot of pool supervision, and I’m actually a sports student – water
sports is my special area.
Steve: Ok, well no need to ask if you can swim then …
Janet: No, I’m certainly not afraid of the water. So what does the job at the pool
involve?
Steve: you’d mainly be responsible for supervising the swimmers – we have to watch
them all the time, obviously, in case of accidents, so you’d have regular shifts there.
Janet: Ok.
Steve: Then as well as that, you’d have to look after the equipment that’s used by
the beginners’ classes
Janet: Right – and would I be involved in teaching them at all? I’d be quite interested
in that.
