Receptionist: Mr. Okon, dem dey wait for you.
[Okon enters the interview room, with Chinedu following closely behind. Mr. Johnson, the interviewer, sits at the desk.]
Mr. Johnson: Good morning, Mr. Okon. Sit down.
Okon: (nervously) Good morning, sir. Thank you.
[Okon sits down, fidgeting with his hands.]
Mr. Johnson: So, Mr. Okon, tell me about your former work.
