Default Job Interviews in Movies

Hello all,

I have been teaching a new group of adults recently for the past month and have looked at some business English. We started on CV's and interview questions using a range of material (CD, reading, listening etc) but there was a request from a student that they want to learn more about the key language used in interviews. For example, what words are suitable and unsuitable. That is not a problem.

But they want to watch/listen to a natural job interview and I am having trouble trying to find a film that contains a good interview scene. So far the only ideas I have include:

1. The Pursuit of Happiness
2. The Office (UK Version)

Does anyone recommend a movie, drama, etc that would be good to introduce key language used in interviews and improve interview techniques? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Ohh, one more thing I am in Korea and getting some UK/USA dramas are difficult but movies are would suggested would be better.

Many thanks in advance.

Martin
