Why do you think that you are suitable for this position?
Firstly, I think I fulfil many of the necessary requirements for the job,
and have essential experience in working on similar projects.
Secondly, I think that working for an established company, like this one, is a challenge.
For me it's an opportunity to take what I already know and apply it to new situations.
As a result, I feel confident that I am suitable and can meet the challenge of a position such as this one.
Can you tell me a little bit about what you did during your studies?
Well, the final project I did involved innovative e-commerce solutions.
That sounds interesting.
Yes, I designed a real-time help-section chat tool for visitors to the site.
I see. And do you think something like that would be useful for this company?
Quite possibly. I understand that the company is moving its e-commerce into social networking areas.
Yes. That's right.
Well, we studied how sales are closely linked to customer satisfaction with online services.
Ineffective Web sites can really be very detrimental to a company's image and sales.
If customers aren't satisfied with the service, they don't come back.
Yes, I agree. Well, I can see that you've learnt quite a lot in the short time that you've been working in this field.
How do you feel about doing a three-month internship?
I see this as being a useful testing ground for me – and for the company.
I see it as a time of discovery, to learn about the company and how it works
and to begin working within this context. Also, I understand that – all going well – there is the possibility of full employment.
I think a three-month internship is a good arrangement.
