[Q]: M: Hi, Sharon, I had no idea. It'll take so much time. It sure makes it difficult to prepare for final exams. How about you? W: I was lucky. There seems to be a shortage of highschool teachers now. I applied to three schools and each one offered me a position. M: That's great. Which one did you like? W: I haven't decided yet. Of course, it will be easiest for me to stay here in New York or go back home to Boston, but I may go to California. M: That will be a big move. W: So tell me about your plans? M: Well, I applied to six newspapers. Last week, I had an interview with New York Times. W: How did it go? M: Not so well. I think they are looking for people with some experience. W: Have you had any other interviews? M: No, not yet. It seems that everyone wants to be a writer these days. There just aren't many jobs out there. W: That's too bad. M: Yes, I had a hope to have a job lined up by graduation. That doesn't seem likely now. W: What will you do if you can't find a job? M: In that case, I'll begin working on the master's degree in the fall. W: Good luck. What was said before this conversation?
