Conversation 1: Hey there, how are you doing? - I am great. How are you?

Well, I got laid off, and I'm looking for work. - Yeah, me too! What are you thinking you would like to do?

Right now, I'll take about anything that will pay the mortgage. - Have you gone out on any interviews so far?

I went out on one interview, but I haven't heard back from them. - Did you see the posting for the electrician apprentice program?

You know, I saw that and it looks pretty good! - Let's go check it out again!

Conversation 2: How are things going with you? - I am doing well. What's up with you?

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

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

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

How about interviews? Have you been on any of those yet? - I wish that I could get the opportunity to be interviewed.

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

I read about that, and the position sounded great! - Let's go see how we can apply for those positions.

Conversation 3: I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been? - Things are going fairly well. How about you?

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

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

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

Have you gotten any interviews yet? - No, I haven't been out on one interview yet.

Have you thought about the electrician program over there? - I think that I might be interested in that position.

I think we should go over there and see if we can apply for that program.
