Lisa: Hi, Mark, I hardly recognized you – it’s great to see you again!

Mark: Hello, Lisa! I haven’t seen you for ages, not since college graduation. How have you been?

L: I’ve been fine. What about you?

M: I’ve been very well, too. Are you here looking for a job?

L: Sure. You are between jobs, too?

M: Yes, I remember you went to a Canadian company when we graduated. Have you left that company?

L: Yes, I just left it last month.

M: Why? Didn’t you like the job?

L: Yes, but I’ve been a secretary for three years and now I’m totally sick of all that boring clerical work. I hate sitting in the office all the day just working mechanically.

M: Oh, I understand. You really need a change.

L: Yes, but what about you, Mark? Why have you left your present job? I heard you were an excellent Production manager.

M: My boss is a very difficult man to deal with. I quarreled with him last week and left the company.

Part 6

Video 2

Robin: What’s your job now, Jerome? Do you still work for that wholly funded American company?

Jerome: No, I left it three years ago. I have my own business now.

Frank: Gee, that’s great! How do you feel as a self-employed entrepreneur?

J: I feel good. I can make a lot more money than before and I have a lot of independence in doing things. But sometimes I get tired. As you know, it’s not very easy to run a business on your own. What about you, Frank? What are you doing now?

F: I’ve worked for several companies. After graduation, I went to a private company. Then a year later, I changed to a Sino – Janpanese joint-venture enterprise and worked as a sales assistant. Two years later, I moved on to a computer company and worked in export sales. And now, I’m an advertising executive. Oh, you are a real job-hopper. Why have you changed jobs so often?

Colin: Oh, you are a real job-hopper. Why have you changed jobs so often?

F: I’m always interested in new challenges. I know changing jobs frequently can be a waste of a company’s human resources, but I’m gaining a lot of experience! How is your job, Colin?

C: I’ve been working for the PMC Textile Plant since I graduated. Two years ago, I was promoted to Line Supervisor.

F: Do you like your job?

C: The salary and benefits are Ok, but I don’t like the work environment. You know, the workshops are very noisy sometimes. Also, I don’t often get an opportunity to go anywhere. I hate staying in the same place all the time. You often travel on business, right Robin?

R: Yes. As a buyer, I must travel to purchase stock. I’ve been to a lot of places.

C: Maybe I should think about becoming a buyer…

R: Mm…, everything has two sides. I get fed up with travelling. Nowadays, I want to spend more time with my family.

Janet: Hi, guys, may I join you?

J,C,R,F: Sure. Have a seat.

Janet: You enjoy getting together, don’t you? What are you talking about?

R: Jobs. What kind of job do you have, Janet?

Janet: I’m the Public Relations Manager in a holding company.

C: Do you enjoy it?

Janet: Yes. What I like about it is that I can meet a lot of new and interesting people.

R: How about your working hours?

Janet: That’s the trouble. I usually have to work overtime, because I often have dinner parties in the evening. I don’t get enough time with my family and baby.
