A: You know, I saw that and it looks pretty good!

B: Let's go check it out again!



2.

A: How are things going with you?

B: I am doing well. What's up with you?

A: Believe it or not, the company I worked for closed down, so I'm out of a job.

B: The same with me. Have you given much thought to what you want to do next?

A: I am not being all that particular right now because I just need to keep a roof over my head.

B: How about interviews? Have you been on any of those yet?

A: I wish that I could get the opportunity to be interviewed.

B: How about the electrician program that they have listed over there?

A: I read about that, and the position sounded great!

B: Let's go see how we can apply for those positions.

A: I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?

B: Things are going fairly well. How about you?

A: I'm hanging in there, but I lost my job and need to find another one quickly.

B: I am looking for a job myself. What were you thinking of doing next?

A: I am just trying to find something that will pay the bills until this bad economy passes by.

B: Have you gotten any interviews yet?

A: No, I haven't been out on one interview yet.

B: Have you thought about the electrician program over there?

A: I think that I might be interested in that position.
