When you want a job, you apply for it. You give them an application, and often a resume: one page about your school and your work.
Applying for a job
Try it: Woman: Can you look at my ___? I want to give it to Farris Supermarket today. Man: Sure. Oh, your phone number is not on it. Choose what the woman says. (resume / paycheck / interview) Answer: resume — It is a page for a job, and a phone number goes on it, so it is her resume.

The interview and the pay
