Lesson twenty-eight

Twenty-eighth lesson

A NEW JOB

Part 1

A new job

An interesting job has been advertised in the paper.

A sales manager's required by a large company.

I've written to them but I haven't been contacted yet.

This is a copy of the letter which I sent.

Beardsley Hotel, Bayswater Road, London, W.2.

8th July, 1971.

The Personnel Manager, World Computer Company, Basingstoke, Hampshire.

Dear Sir,

Sales Manager Ref: JG/…

I am interested in the post of sales manager which you advertised in today's newspaper.

At the moment I am employed by International Computer Co. Ltd.

For the last three years I have been in their Geneva office.

While I was there, I was promoted to general manager of the sales, advertising and marketing departments.

Other positions which I have held have included production manager for Anglia Computers and head of the research department of the same firm.

I hope that an application form will be sent to me.

Yours faithfully, Guy Hunt

Part 2

Worry

Today's post hasn't been brought up yet, has it?

No.

The receptionist has been asked to ring us when it arrives.

You haven't heard from W.C.C. yet, have you?

No.

When was the letter posted?

Last Wednesday.

Where are their machines sold?

In Europe and Asia.

According to the latest report, there are offices in eight countries: England, the U.S.A., France, Sweden, Italy, Japan, Australia and Canada.

The post

The receptionist has just rung.

The post's just been delivered.

I'd rather not see it.

It's what you were waiting for...

W.C.C.'s reply.

Tell me what they say.

What a pity!

The post's already been filled.

My letter's been put in their file.

Sorry... where was it put?

In their file.

I'll be contacted when there's another similar vacancy.

A job in the London office

Why were you smiling just then?

Because I was reading this letter from I. C.

Tell me what I.C. wants.

Listen to this: International Computer Co. Ltd., Ward Avenue, London, S.W.7.

15th July, 1971.

Dear Mr. Hunt,

While we were having lunch last week, I mentioned a job in our London office.

I have now been authorized to offer it to you.

If you accept our offer, it will mean that your salary will be increased.

I have spoken to our accounts department and, according to them, we are able to offer you an additional four hundred pounds a year.

You will also be given four weeks' holiday per annum instead of three weeks'.

I have enclosed some documents, one of which shows our profit and loss account and another our plans for future expansion.

You might like to look at these while you are considering our offer.

Your sincerely, Stephen Curtis

The decision

Well, Sarah. What do you think?

It sounds like a good job but I'd rather not live in London.

Oh, that's what's worrying you.

Well, don't worry about it.

While I was talking to Steve, I mentioned this and he suggested we lived in the country outside London.

Perhaps we won't like living in the south.

Well, if we don't like it, we can leave.

I warned Steve about that.

Well... all right.

Part 3

An advertisement

Applications are invited for the post of secretary to the sales manager.

The successful applicant will be required to work in a friendly London office.

She will also be asked to travel abroad occasionally.

She will be between 18 and 25, smart and interested in languages.

Good salary - 5 day week - 3 weeks' holiday.

Write to: The Personnel Manager, 207 Regent Street, London, W. 1.
