Transcript
Harry: So how are things going, mate?
Johnny: Good. Things are good. I’m really
enjoying my job...lots of work, but I’ll be rich in
three years!
Harry: You work all the time. I don’t know how
you manage it. You should take a break some
time, come and play football with me!
Johnny: Too busy, mate, too busy. Venture
capital –it’s so exciting right now. All the
opportunities opening up in China. And I’m here
to make the most of it! You should think about
changing your job, Harry – get a piece of the
action!
Harry: You’re right...I’m always thinking about
changing jobs...but I only know about
computers, nothing else.
Johnny: There are lots of computer experts
around. You need to specialise!
Harry: Perhaps you’re right, but I really like my
job. Johnny: Is the money good?
Harry: Not bad...
Johnny: But not good?
Harry: Well, I could find a job that pays more,
but I would enjoy it less...
Johnny: You could come and work for our
company!
Harry: Hmmm..is that an offer?
Johnny: Yes...I’m serious! Listen, I’ll have a
word with the human resources people
tomorrow. I know there are some vacancies at
the moment in the IT team...you’d easily get it.
Have to go now, see you soon.
Harry: Yeah, cheers, see you mate.
Olivia: Hi there! You on your own?
Harry: Yeah, Johnny’s just gone off to work...
Olivia: As always. Never stops, that boy.
Harry: Talking of which, what are you doing
here. Shouldn’t you be in the shop?
Olivia: I’m just taking a break. I’m fed up of
standing in that shop selling shoes all day, to tell
you the truth.
Harry: They’re very nice shoes, though.
Olivia: All hand made, of course. But, like I
say, I don’t want to spend the rest of my life
running that shop.
Harry: You could sell your shoes on the web.
Olivia: That’s right! I’ve thought about that
already...
Harry: Have you got anybody to set up a
website for you?
Olivia: No…but I did think...I was wondering...I
don’t suppose....
Harry: What?
Olivia: ...that you’d be interested?
Harry: Me? Do your website for you?
Olivia: Well, yeah...I’d like someone I
know...someone I can trust...
Harry: Well, I guess I could do it, sure...I’ll have
to think...
Olivia: Hi Fadi! How are you doing?
Do you
know my friend Harry?
Fadi: No...nice to meet you!
Harry: Yeah...you too...cheers.
Olivia: Fadi works in the restaurant business,
don’t you Fadi?
Fadi: Well, sort of, not exactly...we supply food
to lots of restaurants, but...I tell you..it’s a
nightmare at the moment...
Olivia: Oh dear. What’s the problem?
Fadi: Well, there’s just too much work
really...can’t keep up. It’s my dad’s business,
but he’s getting old now. My uncle works with
us too, but he’s not really interested, so it’s all
up to me...I can’t keep track of what’s coming in
and going out...
Harry: Sounds like you need a better stock
management system!
Fadi: Yeah! That’s exactly what I was thinking –
how did you know that?
Harry: That’s my job, innit? I set up
computerised stock management systems, all
kinds of business IT solutions...
Fadi: Wow! That’s brilliant! Listen...seriously
now...would you be interested in some work?
Harry: Erm...well..yeah!.... That’s three job
offers in the last five minutes! What should I
do?
