Yes, so you have your driving licence ?
Yes but sometimes I can't see very well because I'm old !
Yes I understand, what job have you already done ?

Yes yes I understand, have you got any other experience ?

I can fish very well and I can read an article in the newspaper in one hour !
Are you serious ? Oh that's great ! Hum and with that, what sort of job do you want ?
I would like to be a fisherman in a company !

Yes if you want, and to finish, when are you free ?
I'm free when I've finished to read my newspaper !
Ok ! that doesn't leave a lot of time but I will see about your ad !

Goodbye Sir.
