What are the two speakers doing?

W: First of all, I’d like you to tell me a bit about what you’ve been doing.
M: Well, I left school after I’d done my A-levels. 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.
W: I see. In your application, you say that you only spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that?
M: Well, to be quite honest, I didn’t like it — so I got a place at the Art College a year ago.
W: What do you do in your spare time?
M: 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 dune a bit of photography. Also, I’ve traveled a lot — hitchhiked all over Europe.
W: Very interesting, Mr. Plant. I think that’s all I wanted to ask about your background.
