(O= Office Clerk, A= Applicant)

O: Hello. May I help you?

A: Yes, please. I've been here for nearly two months, but I still haven't got a job. Do you think you can get one for me?

O: Don't you worry, we'll try to help you. Will you please fill out this form?

A: What's this form for?

O: This is for registration. After you have given us your personal details, we'll match these against new jobs as they come in. And we'll contact you when there is a job that suits you.

A: That's great. But how long shall I wait?

O: Maybe several weeks, maybe several months. It's hard to tell.

A: Oh, dear. How can I wait for such a long time?

O: Actually, many jobs are filled by people who select vacancies from the display boards there.

A: Then, what do you think I should do?

O: My advice is to keep looking for jobs youself. Check the job boards at the job center regularly and check the newspapers daily. If you have friends or relatives here, ask them for help, too.

A: I see. Thank you very much for your advice. Bye.

O: Keep in touch.
