地道美语听力播客:Hiring for a Job

Last week, my administrative assistant gave notice that he was quitting in two weeks. It couldn't have come at a worse time . It was a very busy time of the year, but there was nothing I could do. Right away, we put a want ad in the classifieds and received several applications for the job. I called in four of them for interviews and I had narrowed it down totwo candidates.
The first was Claudia Trujillo. From her resume , I knew that she had had four years of experience working at a telecommunications company. She looked promising and when she arrived for the interview, she was dressed professionally and seemed personable . When I asked her about her experience, she answered my questions with confidence . She sounded like a hard worker and showed a lot of perseverance . The only drawbacks were that she was a little chatty and she also seemed a little disorganized .
The second candidate was Alex Mayhew. Alex had more experience than Claudia, but in different capacities, and only had one year of experience as an administrative assistant. When I met Alex, he seemed a little rough around the edges . He was earnest and eager, but didn'thave the air of someone who had worked in a corporate environment . Still, he seemedbright and easy to get along with . He did strike me as being a little shy , but I think that was because he was nervous.
So, those are my two options. Now, which one should I hire? I need to give it some more thought .
