Note to recorder:

This is a dialog between a male and a female about her being a hairdresser. This is for my 14/15 year-old students so that'd be great if it wasn't recorded too fast! Thanks for the help!

Joe: Hannah, tell me about yourself, what do you do for a living?
Hannah: Hi Joe, I'm a hairdresser.

Joe: What is the most enjoyable part of your current job?
Hannah: The most enjoyable part? Hmm... Well, I find it fantastic when someone pops into the salon and asks specially for me to do their hair. When it happens, I understand people deeply trust my abilities as a hairdresser and that makes me really proud of what I've achieved so far!

Joe: I see. What do you think the biggest challenge in a hairdressing career is?
Hannah: There are so many challenges in this job! But to pick the most important one as far as I'm concerned, I'd say you have to be at your best everyday to make sure your client will be satisfied with their new hairstyle. If they're not, then they won't come back and it won't do any good to your salon.

Joe: What is your present boss like?
Hannah: In our job, once you are not an apprentice anymore, your boss trust you one hundred percent! It means you become a colleague and an employee at the same time. My boss respects me for my creativity, and always encourages me to take initiatives. He is a very perfectionist hairdresser and expects the same qualities from me.

Joe: What made you apply for this job?
Hannah: When I was younger I would always do my sister's hair and ask my mum to buy me the hairdresser outfit so I could train. I don't know, deep within, I guess I knew I would become a hairdresser.

Joe: What is your biggest weakness as a hairdresser?
Hannah: The only thing my boss ever reproached me is that I work very slowly. Even though I am not very fast, I think what matters is that the client is happy with their haircut and recommends me to their family or friends. Until now, I have only had positive feedbacks and I'm determined to make this last as long as I work.

Joe: I think I know what you mean: your biggest weakness is also your greatest strength as a hairdresser. Well, thank you Hannah for your time and good luck with your job!
Hannah: Thank you, bye!
