Dear Ben,
Thank you very much for your letter. I was very glad to get it. You ask me to describe my neighbours. Well, here is my story for you. When moving into a new apartment building, you usually can not choose the neighbours. They can be noisy, rude, or friendly and polite. Our floor is full of lovely people. We sometimes go to each other's homes. I can always ask the neighbours for help. They never say 'no'. Our neighbours are very friendly, they are always polite and pleasant. But the neighbours on the upper floor above our apartment are noisy. You can often hear loud music or even shouting in their apartment, especially during holidays and weekends. They have many relatives and friends who often come to visit them. Although if you ask them for anything, they will never refuse to help you and they will even apologize for the loud noise. I love my neighbours. In general, they are all wonderful people. I wish all people had friendly, understanding neighbours. In short, that's all I can tell you about my neighbours. What else would you like to know? What are you going to do during the summer holidays?
Email as soon as possible.
Best wishes,
Polina
- Good morning. Come in, Mrs. Volkova. Please, take a seat. Tell me, how long you were in your last job with "Pine"?
- I worked for "Pine" for 6 years.
- Did you hold a good post there?
- I started as a courier but a few months later I filled the vacancy of shopassistant. I had been working as a shopassistant for 3 years when I was promoted from shopassistant to Supplies Manager. And I have worked as Supplies Manager for the last few years.
- And why did you leave your previous job?
- Well, first of all the job involved much travelling but I have small children to look after. So, my heart was breaking when I left my kids home. I used to go on business abroad and sometimes I was away from home for a few days. So, I decided to quit and now I am looking for the position of shopassistant.I find it more suitable. I won't have to leave home. Besides, I have enough experience to do the job.
- Well, you have excellent references from your previous job and wide-ranging experience in trade. You'll start on 10000 rub. and if you do well we''ll review it after the term of probation, which amounts to 3 months. Have you got any questions for me?
- What are the working hours?
- The hours are from 9 till 6 p.m. with an hour for lunch. Does it suit you?
- Yes, sure. When do you want me to start, sir?
- In a week, if possible.
- All right.
- Fill in the application form and get ready to start working in a week. It was nice meeting you. Goodbye.
- Thank you. Goodbye.
