1 – That was in the States, I see. And since then you've been working for a design company.

2 – That's right. I've been with Proton Designs for three years now. I think it's time to move on.

1 – Yes, that could be useful to us. Do you think you have enough experience for this post? After all, you have only three years marketing behind you.
