Work: Conditions and Pay.

Peter:	Hi, Jane! How are you?
Jane:	Hello, Peter. Fine. And you?
Peter:	Great, thanks. Actually, I wanted to talk to you about your job.
Jane:	Why?
Peter:	Well, I’m going to apply for a job in the same company where you work and first I’d like to ask you about the conditions there.
Jane:	What position are you applying for?
Peter:	I was thinking about being a manager, like you.
Jane:	To become a manager, you will have to go on some training courses. Every new employee has to go through this in our company.
Peter:	Yes, I’m aware of that. But tell me about the duties of a manager there.
Jane:	Well, I’m in charge of all deliveries in our company. I also have to deal with any complaints.
Peter:	What does that involve?
Jane:	I often attend meetings, I meet clients and advise them.
Peter:	Is it difficult to get promotion in your company?
Jane:	If you are good and work well, you will get your first pay rise after a year and probably after two years you will be promoted.
Peter:	What about the salary? Is your job well paid?
Jane:	I earn $60,000 a year, and I’m satisfied at the moment.
Peter:	How much holiday do you get?
Jane:	One month a year. Of course, it is possible to take sick leave and you still receive your full salary.
Peter:	That’s good. But do you often work overtime?
Jane:	Sometimes. Of course, they pay you double-time. But usually it is nine-to-five work. But Peter, why do you want to quit your company? You’ve been working there for five years.
Peter:	There is a new boss who doesn’t like me. I think he will fire me eventually and I don’t want to wait for that. I’d prefer to find a new job, resign and not be sacked.
Jane:	I understand. They are looking for new workers in my company so I’m sure they will employ you there.

But the company management is looking for (ищет) new partners in Eastern Europe as well. The company management would like to extend their activity.
