Two yuppies are discussing their jobs and working lives.

Susan: Hello. Henry!

Henry: Hi Susan! Are you still working for “On The Way Up”?

Susan: Yes, I am, I’m in charge of the European subsidiaries. Who do you work for

now?

Henry: Well, as you know, when I left school I studied accountancy and worked for

“Andy Arthurson” for a couple of years before I decided that I wanted to do something more general — like marketing, for example. So I joined what 1 thought was a pretty dynamic set-up, but things went wrong fairly quickly and I left “Going downhill” before the shit hit the fan. I went to a head hunter and had several good offers. After looking around, 1 applied for a iob with a company called “Getting Along” and after a series of interviews and tests, they recruited me and I joined their European headquarters about a year ago now. It’s a marketing company. We provide a marketing and advertising service for anyone who needs us. However, our company specializes in the more challenging type of product and innovation. I’m responsible for new markets. I deal with lots of different foreign customers and I am also involved in market research on a worldwide basis — it’s fascinating. Can you imagine, at the moment, I’m working on a new project for marketing suntan lotion at the North Pole! I report directly to the Managing Director and I am assisted bv a team of five market researchers and ten salespeople.

Susan: They’ve taken on a new Managing Director, haven’t they? What is he like?

Henry: He’s very nice, really, although a bit bossy.

Susan: What does he look like?

Henry: Tall, dark and very handsome!

Susan: Who does he look like?

Henry: He looks like me, of course!

Susan: What does he like?

Henry: Working! We always start early and finish late with him. He also likes good

food!

Susan: What sort of food does he like?

Henry: French, I think.

Susan: Well... maybe I should cook him a meal, I’ve been in my job already for two

years and I’m in a bit of a rut!
