Hi, it’s Fiona here. I just wanted to tell you that I saw this great job ad in the newspaper the other day. |
Friend: |
You never told me that you were thinking of getting a new job! |
Fiona: |
Well, I wasn’t until I saw this one. It’s exactly what I’ve always wanted to do. |
Friend: |
Go on then. Tell me about it. |
Fiona: |
Well, it’s for a Californian company called Patagonia. I’m sure you’ve heard of them before. |
Friend: |
Oh yeah, they’re the people who make outdoor clothing, right? |
Fiona:
|
Exactly. Anyway they’re looking for what they call a public affairs associate. It’s basically a public relations position. |
Friend: |
Do they say what sort of a person they’re looking for? |
Fiona:
|
Well, actually the ad just says that they want someone who has experience in the press and in PR, and who has good writing skills. Oh, and it has to be someone who’s pretty good at outdoor sports, you know, like skiing. |
Friend:
|
Sounds just right for you. Don’t tell me that if you get the job you’ll be moving to America! |
Fiona:
|
Oh no. I forgot to tell you, in fact they’re looking for someone whose mother tongue is German, because the job is based in Munich, which would suit me just fine because, as you know, I’ve got family near there. |
Friend: Fiona:
|
Do you know how much the job pays? No... they don’t say anything about money. But I’m going to apply anyway. I’m sure I’ll find that out if I get as far as the interview. |
Friend: |
When will they be doing the interviews? |
Fiona: |
In the ad it says during the last week of February. |
