Reading: A job interview

A few weeks ago, I saw an advert in a newspaper for a job I really wanted. I filled
out the application form, wrote my CV and sent everything off in the post. A few
days later I received an email to invite me for an interview. I was so excited, but
very nervous. I wanted to look really smart for the interview. I wore a smart suit
with a white shirt and my shiny, red shoes. I wanted to make a good impression. At
the interview they asked me lots of questions. They asked me about my previous
work experience and skills that I've got for the job. I also had to fill out some
paperwork. I was well-prepared, so I think it went well. Afterwards, the
interviewers shook my hand and said, “We’ll be in touch.” I am looking forward to
hearing from them!
