Thanks for your email. It was good to hear from you. I’ve got some good news. I’ve got a new job. Last week I saw an advertisement for a shop assistant in a shop window and decided to apply for the job. I spoke to the manager and he gave me an application form. I took it home, filled it in and sent it back the same day. Two days later the manager phoned. He invited me for an interview.
I went to town. I bought some new clothes and shoes because I wanted to look good for my interview.
On the day of the interview I felt very nervous. When I got there, the manager showed me around the supermarket and introduced me to the staff. Then he asked me a lot of questions about my job and the jobs I had before. At the end of the interview he offered me the job and told me I can start next week. I can’t wait.
