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.
