What are the two speakers doing?

M: First of all, I’d like you to tell me a bit about what you’ve been doing.
W: Well, I left school after I’d done my A-levels.
M: What subjects did you take?
W: French, German and art.
M: Art?
W: Well, I really wanted to study art. But a friend of my father’s offered me a job—he’s an accountant in the city
M: I see. In your application, you say that you only spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that?
W: Well, to be quite honest, I didn’t like it — so I got a place at the Art College a years ago.
M: Did your father mind?
W: Well, he was rather disappointed at first. He’s an accountant too, you know.
M: Have you any brothers or sisters?
W: Two brothers, both at school. One’s eleven, and the other’s fifteen.
M: Right. What do you in your spare time?
W: I like jazz and folk music; I go to the theater occasionally and act a bit myself. I read quite a lot, and I’ve done a bit of photography. Also, rye traveled a lot.
M: Very interesting. Miss Smith. I think that’s all I wanted to ask about your background.
