A: Did she tell you whether you would get the job ?

A: Thank you for coming for interview last Tuesday . we have considered your application carefully , but we’re afraid that we are unable to offer you the post . While your secretarials skills are well up to the standard required , I did not feel that your commend of French was sufficiently good for our purposes . In addition , you seem to lack confidence in dealing with people , which will certainly be a handicap if you want to work as an receptionist . May I suggest that you might do better to look for a job involving ruling office work ?
