   A JOB VACANCY                              ВАКАНТНАЯ ДОЛЖНОСТЬ
  ------------------------                   ----------------------

Victor was watching TV when the
telephone rang.It was his American
friend Dick Jones.

Dick:Victor,I hope  I'm not calling
too late.

Victor:No,Dick.I was watching television.
How are you?

Dick:I am fine.I'm calling you at such
a late hour because there is good news
for you.An hour ago, I spoke to a friend
of mine.He's on the board of directors
at "A & B Instrument Company".They have
an immediate opening for a software
programmer.They are looking for  a
specialist in this field.I told my
friend about you.He wants to know if
you can come tomorrow for an interview.
You shouldn't miss this opportunity.

Victor:Dick,you are absolutely right.
I agree with you completely.I realize
that I should see the interviewer;but
what about my job at the gas station?
					

Dick:Oh,come on.Don't tell them where
you are going.Just tell your supervisor
you have some personal business to attend
to.Promise him to make up the time.

Victor:That makes sense,Dick.But I'm a bit  -
afraid because of my poor English.


Dick:Stop worrying about it.All you have
to do is to explain your previous experi-
ence.You can do it perfectly well.You've
to show your experience but not English
stylistic subtleties.Even a few grammatical
errors won't harm you.I'm sure you'll feel
at ease with the interviewer.
         				
					
					
					

Victor:I hope so.But I'm still confused
about the use  of English tenses.Never-
theless I've made up my mind.I'm going
to see the interviewer.



Dick:Okay.Would you write down the address?
					
Victor:All right.I'm listening.

Dick:620 Broadway,25th floor.Ask for person-
nel.Don't leave home without your resume.
Good luck.
					

Victor:Thank you,Dick.
