Jimmy:My cousin Sal said that he put in an application for a job here.

Suzanne:Yeah, that's right.

Jimmy:Well?

Suzanne:Well, what?

Jimmy:Are you going to hire him?

Suzanne:I'm not sure. He doesn't have any experience and he didn't provide any references.

Jimmy:I can vouch for him. Sal is solid. He's a really nice guy.

Suzanne:I appreciate you putting in a good word for him, but I need more assurance than that he's a nice guy.

He needs to have the temperament, work ethic, and skills for this job.

Jimmy:What he doesn't know he'll learn on the job. He's a quick study.

Suzanne:How can I justify hiring someone with no experience, while passing up applicants who are better qualified?

Jimmy:He has my ringing endorsement. What else do you need? He'll work as hard as I do.

Suzanne:That's exactly what I'm afraid of.
