let's have a look linda why don't you show troy where the machine is
of course mrs cunningham
well i'm sorry to say that there are quite a few mistakes in this report of
yours mistakes are you sure yes
but linda can type it again right sure she can but
i'm a bit worried about her you know why linda is a high flyer but these days
she's working too much and she's making some embarrassing mistakes
such as well such as sending an email to mr scorn instead of mrs scoring
you know that couple going through the troublesome divorce can you imagine that
i see linda is a nice girl but she is probably overworked underpaid
and frustrated are you seeing them treating her badly
no i just think that maybe she has too much to do
and she needs less work and more motivation
what do you suggest find another secretary
are you joking she handles my phone calls
she writes emails she deals with the clients and she speaks both german and
spanish fluently i can't imagine working without her
right i know it's hard without a good secretary so
try and do something to make her feel more motivated
motivation and job satisfaction are at the basis of everything
for instance give her something different to do
and ask for her opinion from time to time
a pay rise is also a good idea sure a pay rise is always a nice way to get
what you want from an employee what time is it 3 30.
good let me see if there is anything left to do ah yes miranda left me this
paper to retype what is it the scorns divorce papers
help they are full of mistakes i'm afraid miranda is not very satisfied
with my work maybe i can find another job with
better benefits and a higher salary too there are many vacancies on the internet
i can send a letter of application with my cv
and see if i get a job interview good morning so you are linda
linda hardy right right i am linda hardy nice to meet you
tell me about yourself i am the personal assistant to miranda cunningham
i have over five years experience and i'm particularly skilled
in public relations i know your company and i'm very impressed with your
innovative approach i would like to be a part of your team
that sounds convincing what do you think are your weak points
hmm keeping cool under pressure perhaps but with my years of experience
i'm getting quite good at dealing with stressful situations
is your employer satisfied with your job performance
oh help what a question not always dropping coffee on a very
important document is never a good idea no i cannot say that
at present my boss often tells me she's very happy with my work
phew after this interview i'm feeling quite hungry
i need a nice hot cup of tea and a sandwich too
hi this is miranda cunningham can i speak to lawrence please

grandfather remus and the green armchairs to your aunt evelyn
