ny one thing I dislike about it. I like sales because it’s constantly challenging and I like to keep pushing myself.
E: How does this drive of yours affect your family life
A: Well, we have a fairly traditional Japanese family life. My wife takes care of the home and children, and I take care of my job. Of cause I enjoy spending Sundays with them, and I try to spend one or two evenings a week at home.
E: Are there any questions you would like to ask about the position or the company
A: Yes. What is the make-up of your sales department now, and how many new salespeople are you planning to hire
E: We have four salespeople now in the Kanto area, and we will be adding three more next month. The seven will report directly to our senior manager of marketing, and together you will all put together a new three year plan.
You’ll be meeting the senior manager at your second interview and he’ll provide you with more details. I think you two will get along well. He’s quite ambitious and full of energy himself.
A: Does ABC computers have a periodic performance review for its employees
E: Yes, we do. Again, I’ll have our senior manager go over the details with you in the second interview.
A: All right. Well, Mr. Jones, I’m glad to hear I’ll be given a second interview. I really do believe I’m the person for you. I’m ready and eager for new challenges, and it would be a pleasure for me to be one of your team. I’d like to help ABC grow in Japan.
E: Well, thank you, Mr, Endo. It seems like your background would be a good fit with us, and I’ll pass along my positive comments to the senior manager.
A: Thank you. When should I expect to hear from you
E: Within three or four days. We’ll give you a call. Thanks for coming in, Mr. Endo.
