Mr Conn: Good Afternoon। Take a seat Mr Berry. Now I have your letter of application here. I see that you worked for Plastic Box for a while. What was your position there, exactly?

John: I was marketing Manager।

Mr Conn: Were you indeed?

John: Well, to be absolutely exact, I was Junior Assistant Deputy Marketing Manager। But I could have become Marketing Manager in a few years. You see I was doing very well when I left.
