A new job

Part 1

Mr. Hunt An interesting job has been advertised in the paper. A sales manager's required by a large company. I've written to them but I haven't been contacted yet. This is a copy of the letter which I sent.

Beardsley Hotel,

Bayswater Road,

London, W.2.

8th July, 1971

The Personnel Manager,

World Computer Company,

Basingstoke,

Hampshire.

Dear Sir,

Sales Manager Ref: J6/Q

I am interested in the post of sales manager which you advertised in today's newspaper.

At the moment I am employed by International Computer Co. Ltd. For the last three years I have been in their Geneva office. While I was there, I was promoted to general manager of the sales, advertising and marketing departments. Other positions which I have held have included production manager for Anglia Computers and head of the research department of the same firm.

I hope that an application form will be sent to me.

Yours faithfully,

Guy Hunt

Part 2

Worry

Mr. Hunt Today's post hasn't been brought up yet, has it?

Mrs. Hunt No. The receptionist has been asked to ring us when it arrives. You haven't heard from W.C.C. yet, have you?

Mr. Hunt No.

Mrs. Hunt When was the letter posted?

Mr. Hunt Last Wednesday.

Mrs. Hunt Where are their machines sold?

Mr. Hunt In Europe and Asia. According to the latest report, there are offices in eight countries: England, the U.S.A., France, Sweden, Italy, Japan, Australia and Canada.

Mrs. Hunt The receptionist has just rung. The post's just been delivered.

Mr. Hunt I'd rather not see it.

Mrs. Hunt It's what you were waiting for… W.C.C.'s reply. Tell me what they say.

Mr. Hum What a pity! The post's already been filled. My letter's been put in their file.

Mrs. Hunt Sorry; where was it put?

Mr. Hunt In their file. I'll be contacted when there's another similar vacancy.
