Exercício 2

The dialogue below was taken from episode 9, season 9, of the Big Bang Theory TV series. In this episode Howard unexpectedly meets Elon Musk — a business magnate, engineer, and investor — in a soup kitchen and hopes to get a job in one of his companies. To do that he introduces himself in a way that is very similar to what he could have said in a video résumé.

Read the dialogue and mark the kinds of information that Howard has given Elon in hope of getting a job.

Howard: You’re Elon Musk!

Elon: I am.

Howard: What are you doing here?

Elon: I’m washing dishes. Well, I was on the turkey line, but I got demoted for being too generous with the gravy.

Howard: Oh, man, what an honour to meet you. I’m, I’m such a fan of Tesla and SpaceX. All your companies. Howard Wolowitz, Caltech.

Elon: Nice to meet you, Howard. Feels great to come down here and help the less fortunate, huh?
