| Pat McMahon: |
Hello, I'm Pat McMahon. I'll be looking after you. |
| Trainee: |
Hello, Mr. McMahon. |
| Pat McMahon: |
Call me Pat. Come on, I will introduce you to the manager, Jim O'Brien. |
| Jim O'Brien: |
Hello you must be the new trainee. I'm Mr. O'Brien. Welcome to the company! |
| Trainee: |
Hello Mr. O'Brien! |
| Jim O'Brien: |
Pat will show you your desk, introduce you to the others, get you to sign the contract and explain what your job is. I must dash, goodbye and good luck! |
| Pat McMahon: |
We need to get some paperwork done. You need to be registered for Tax and Social Welfare and we need to get your contract signed. Besides I have a job for you. |
| Trainee: |
What can I do for you? |
| Pat McMahon: |
I want you to go to the Post Office and post a parcel. |
| |
|
| |
At the post office |
| Trainee: |
I want to post this parcel. |
| Post service: |
Hand it in and I'll weigh it. Do you want to register it? |
| Trainee: |
I don't know. What does that mean? |
| Post service: |
It means you have a record of posting and when it's delivered at the other end it has to be signed for, so it is guaranteed that it will arrive at the address. |
| Trainee: |
Is it expensive? |
| Post service: |
No, the whole cost is 12.40 and I recommend it. |
| Trainee: |
Okay here is 20. |
| |
|
| |
Back in the office |
| Pat McMahon: |
How did you get on? |
| Trainee: |
Fine, I registered the parcel. Was that OK? |
| Pat McMahon: |
Well, we don't normally do that, but you will know next time. |
| Trainee: |
Sorry. |
| Pat McMahon: |
That's alright. You used your initiative and I like that. You will get on fine. |
