Susan is describing her role as a Records and Archives Clerk at a records and archives office.

Read the dialogue in pairs and say what qualifications are necessary to get the post of a Records and Archives Clerk.

S. — Susan; H—Hugh.

H. — Susan, may I ask you what do you do for a living?

S. — Well, I work for a records office in Leeds. That’s a full time job.

H. — You mean you are a Records and Archives Clerk?

S. — Quite right.

H. — Was it difficult to get this job?

S. — Oh, no. For direct appointment to this grade, candidates must have obtained GCE in five subjects, at least two of which must be “A” level.

H. — So, one starts working here straight after school, doesn’t he?

S. — Not, really. Minimum of three years’ satisfactory service as an Assistant Records and Archives Clerk and in-office training are necessary to obtain this post.

H. — Oh, I see. So, what do you actually do?

S. — I am responsible for classifying and filing incoming mail, creating new files, dispatching files to action officers and recording details on transit sheets.

H. — Well, you have quite a number of duties.

S. — Right. I am also responsible for ensuring that all files returning to the records office are noted on the transit sheets and for checking that all action on the files has been completed.

H. — Is it a well paid job?

S. — Well, for someone who doesn’t have a university diploma it is quite well paid, yes.
