Sally, come downstairs, please. Look at this job advertisement.
(from a distance) I'm coming. Walt a moment. (nearer) Eric, I'm here. What's the matter?
Look, Sally. Here's a job advertisement. 'Start a new life with Exco Exports Ltd. as personal assistant to our managing director!' Perhaps it's the job you want.
Personal assistant to the managing director? Yes, it is! Eric, would you like to read it for me?
It's my pleasure! Now, listen--'We will give the right person $  3,500 pa for a 45-hour week, free training, the chance to join a pension scheme, 3 weeks' holiday per year and a company car! Canteen facilities are also available.'
It sounds not so good. Only $  3,500 every year. I think the salary is fairly low. The working hours seem too long, you see, a 45-hour week. Oh, my dear! And the holidays are short too, only 3 weeks.
But you're interested in this type of job. Since you have no job now, you can treat it as one of your choices.
Hm, you are right. OK, I'll write down the address. Eric, please repeat it to me.
'Box 4032, London'.
Good, the company's in London. I don't want to work out of this city.
Look, there is another point maybe you will be attracted by.
Yes. Ah, just now, auntie Jenny called me.
Really? What did she say?
She told me there's a job opening for a secretarial position in her company. She asked me to apply for it.
Sounds good. Would you like to try?
I am interested in the work, but you know, her company is in the city of Edinburgh. So I thanked her and wrote down the address only.
How kind she is!
Yes, she is very kind... Oh, she invited us to her villa to attend her birthday party this Saturday.
Sure we are going to attend it. But what present should we take? How about a bottle of wine, or...
Eric! Look, here's another job advertisement.
What is it?
Listen: 'Join one of the world's fastest growing companies: Exco Imports Lid.'
How about the work?
(go on) 'We are looking for a personal assistant to help our managing director.'
Another personal assistant to the managing director.
'We can offer: $  6,500 pa, 6 weeks' holiday, and a 35-hour week! And we have a supersocial club, too! Interested?' Yes! I am interested!
Where is the company?
'Ring Carrie Jones on 01 734 6387 Now? It's in London. Oh, Eric, I am so happy. It's the right job I want.
It seems everything is wonderful.
That's right. I'll call the person now! (dialling sound) Good morning! Is that Ms. Carrie Jones? I am Sally Brown...
