Question 1 – 5 refer to following passage Warman’s,
the makers of office materials, had advertised for a travelling
salesman. Mr Barlow applied for the job, and soon afterwards was invited
to the company head office to meet MR. Snell, the sales manager. Mr.
Snell asked Mr. Barlow what experience he had as a salesmen.
“ I
worked as a salesman for a brush company until six months ago. I sold
brushes, dusters, tins of polish, things like that. I went from door to
door selling direct to housewives” Mr. Snell then asked him why he had
left the job. “Well to be honest, it was very hard work” Mr. Barlow
replied. “ it meant walking sometimes six or eight miles a day. But the
real reason for leaving was I didn’t think very highly of the goods that
I was selling, and that made difficult for me to be sincere when I had
to tell housewives what wonderful. Brushes they were. I knew perfectly
well they wouldn’t last beyond a month.What’s more, they pay was rather
poor. I realized after a while that I wouldn’t be able to support a
family on the money I was earning.
“I see, “said Mr. Snell. “so what did you do the next ?”
“For the last six month I have been a salesman in a department store” said Mr. Barlow.
“And
do you think you could sell Warman’s office materials with a clear
conscience?” Mr. Snell asked. “Do you think you could be sincere about
selling the papers, ink, copying machines and so on that we produce
here?” Mr. Barlow said that he could, that Warmans’s office materials
enjoyed a very high reputation, and that in his department at Caldwell’s
he sold almost nothing else. He said that he had always wanted to work
for a big company with a good name, to travel all over the country
selling goods to the other companies, rather than to houswives on the
doorstep and – he added with a smile – to enjoy the money and the
working conditions offered with the job for which he had applied.
“Mr.
Barlow,” said Mr. Snell, “Do you have a clean driving license ?” “yes I
do, “Mr. Barlow replied. “Than as long as your medical examination
proves to be satisfactory, I’m quite prepared to offer you the job. “Mr.
Snell got up and shook Mr. Barlow by the hand. “Congratulations” he
said, “and welcome to Warman’s”
