Which of the following statements is TRUE about Miss Green’s university days?
M: Well, I see from your resume, Miss Green, that you studied at the University of Cambridge. How did you find it there?
W: I had a great time. The teaching there was good and I made a lot of friends. The psychology department was a great place to be.
M: How come you chose psychology?
W: Well. At first I didn’t have any clear idea of what I wanted to do after university. I guess I’ve just always been interested in people and the way they act. I wanted to know why people think and act the way they do. It’s a fascinating area.
M: And what was the course like?
W: Good. The teachers were all really nice and they had the special approach to teaching .You know, they didn’t just give us lectures and tell us to read books like they might do in some more traditional places. The whole course was based on a problem-solving approach. You know, they describe a particular situation to us and we discuss what might happen. And after that, we do some reading and see if they confirm our own ideas. That’s what I like best, the really practical orientation of the course. I learned very well with that style. So for me, it was just great.
M: I see from your resume that you graduated about four years ago and after that… let me see…
W: I got a job with the Department of Employment. It was only a temporary thing for about five months. I was a researcher in the Department. We designed a survey, go out to the factories and ask all the questions to the workers and management, then go back to the office, analyze all the data and produce report. It was quite interesting. And I guess the psychology course at college helped me a lot.
M: And after that you worked for three years in an advertising agency. That must be a bit of change from the Department of Employment, wasn’t it?
W: Well, not really. I suppose the office furnishings were a bit more sophisticated, but the work was quite similar, I was basically still doing the same thing, designing questionnaires, going out, asking questions and writing reports. The only difference was that this time I wasn’t asking people about their work. I was asking them what kind of shampoo they bought and if they prefer brand X to brand Y. Then I’d make up a report and the agency would use the information in their advertising campaigns. I enjoyed my work a lot.
M: So why did you decide to leave?
W: Three years is a long time to be asking people those sort of questions about shampoo and drinks. No, seriously, after two years I was in charge of the research department of the agency and I had one assistant researcher. I guess after two years of doing that I supposed I felt, you know, I can do this well and now I want to do something else that’s a little different. And there was nowhere for me to go inside the company. It just wasn’t challenging for me anymore. And because I needed a challenge, I decided to move on. When I heard about the position of senior researcher here, I thought that’s exactly what I want. The chance to combine my management skills and my research interests, working in a much larger department with more varied work.
M: And you felt the job description in our advertisement would offer you the kind of challenge you’re looking for?
W: Exactly, yes. As I said management in a larger organization and research combined. Also, to be honest with you, I heard about the job before it was advertised. A friend of mine who works here, Mark Auston, told me a few weeks ago that you were looking for someone to take over the job. He described the position to me in quite a bit of detail. And I thought, well, that is exactly what I am looking for. So really I’d written my letter application before the job was even advertised.
M: I should tell you that with the present cutbacks, we’ve only got one full time administering assistant in the section. How would you feel about doing your own word processing, photocopying, that sort of thing?
W: Oh, I’m used to that. I’ve done all my own word processing for ages. It’s the only way to write really, isn’t it? I can type well, about 60 words a minute. I did secretarial course after I left school, so I learned typing and shorthand. Then a few years later, I bought a PC and I learned how to do word processing too.
M: Well, that’s handy. Now in the position you’ve applied for you’d have five assistant researchers responsible to you. That’s considerably more responsibility than you have had before. So you’re obviously ambitious and as you said you like challenge. I was wondering what you see yourself doing, in, say, five or ten years on the track.
W: Oh, that’s a difficult question. Let me try to answer your question this way. I’m particularly interested in experimental design and also in teaching. I’d like to continue the organization in planning side of research, but do some teaching too. I know that you have lecturers here who do just that sort of thing, some practical work and some undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. So that’s what I really be aiming for, to be a lecturer here as well.
M: Well, that’s certainly a career path that we’d encourage you to follow. But of course, it might be necessary to upgrade your present qualifications first. I see from your resume that you’ve enrolled in a
M: experimental psychology. Could you tell me a bit about the course you’re planning to take?
