Isabel, how many people work for Rolls Royce?
Rolls Royce Group is a big company. But our office here in France is small, only four people, two directores from Germany, one engineer and myself.
So what is a typical day? How much time do you spend on the telephone and the email?
Well, first of all, I make myself a big cup of coffee. Then the telephone and daily affairs. OK, it's not too bad. But I have a lot of emails to write and read. So this may be takes around 75% to 80% of my time.
How many hours per week do you work?
In France, we have a 35 hour working week now. So I start to work at 9:00, have one hour for lunch and finish at 5:15. I even leave at 4:30 on Fridays sometimes.
Do you like your job?
I do like my job. I like working for a British company and I feel like a member of the team rather than just a secretary. It's a real pleasure to come here every day.
