Contact (Dasa): Dasa Paramasantham, Engineering Department.
Job Seeker (Henry): Hello, Mr. Paramasantham. My name is Henry Kieran. I am a civil
engineer
from Slovakia and I am trying to find information that would help me to
work
in my profession here in Canada. I
received
your name from the professional association. They told me that you would be the
best
person to talk to.
Dasa: Oh, they did? I’m kind of busy right now.
Henry: Oh, of
course
. I don’t mean right now. I was actually wondering if you might be
able
to spare some time to talk with me. I would like to explore
some
career options and learn about the labour market situation in structural engineering, and I
think
it would really help me to speak to someone like you.
Dasa:
Well
, I am not sure if I can give you all that information,
but
I think it is a good start to your job search. I’d be happy to
talk
with you.
Henry: Oh, that would be great.
Dasa: Can you call me
back
some time on Friday? It’s usually quiet here on Fridays and we
could
talk then.
Henry: Sure. Friday is good. I was hoping to meet with you in
person
, though.
Dasa: Oh. Well, that would be fine too. I can
meet
you after lunch; let’s say around 1:30?
Henry: Great. I will be in your
office
at 1:30. Thank you, Mr. Paramasantham.
Dasa: See you then.
