great great way to start where is everybody mr
stevens told me i was going to meet my new colleagues
and they were going to explain everything i wonder if i've come to the
wrong department ah you must be the new arrival pleasure
to meet you i'm rachel the pleasure's all mine my name's victoria lee
mr stevens asked me to show you the office and explain everything
so over there is the facts in the photocopier
this is your desk and computer um what else
oh yes you'll find a coffee machine down the hall but please
remember a few breaks and please keep them short
this gentleman is gary reynolds head of marketing
how do you do i'm victoria mr stevens tells me that we're going to be working
closely together i must say it's quite a pleasure to spend so much time with such
a lovely young lady happily married woman married with a son
as a matter of fact well done victoria let him know who's
who gary's the kind of guy who can't control
himself with attractive women thank you for the
compliment rachel let's get down to work
here's an analysis of last year's investments
as you can see we've consistently improved our bottom line in all sectors
even if as far as i'm concerned we need to move more aggressively into the
market what exactly do you mean well improve
our e-commerce play for example um let's imagine for a moment that
pilgrim were to develop an advanced online catalog that would allow users to
purchase directly online don't you think that this way we could dramatically cut
our distribution costs certainly but what does mr stevens think
well he's a bit old school in his way of thinking
according to his world view we should focus on sales through more traditional
channels i on the other hand would be thrilled if
you saw things more along my lines why don't we develop a realistic
marketing strategy that includes possible e-commerce earnings
uh perhaps we could convince them together
i'm afraid i can't at the moment gary i've got to focus on the bookkeeping to
begin with listen uh why don't we have a little
dinner together tonight and then continue working at my house
i'm married remember gary
statistics accounts reports not much has changed from spectre
and i was hoping for a more creative position
oh hello you must be the new hire i'm anne baxter

i don't think so or perhaps we met at the red lion pub
i often go there with my friends no it doesn't sound familiar

before just a moment now i remember we met on
the telephone when i was still working at spectre
we both had that problem with our courier fast
oh yes oh yes i remember now you were having problems with a shipment
