It’s
7.30pm. Emma phones a recruitment agency and leaves the following message on
their answerphone:
Emma:
“Hello. I wonder if you can help me.
My name is Emma Heath. I’m looking for a job as an administrator. At the moment
I’m working at a solicitor’s as a clerk. Do you know Blame, Payne and Co.? I’ve
been working there for about two years but there doesn’t seem to be any chance
of promotion, so I’m trying to find something else. The other thing is, I’m
moving soon, so I’m looking for a job in Leicester.
I would prefer it if it was in the city centre really. My current address is 23
Terraced Walk, Derby, DE23 3GP, but I’m going to be moving out on the 30th,
and then I’ll be living with my mum until I’ve found a house to rent in
Leicester. After the 30th you’ll be able to contact me at my mum’s.
Her address is 8 Cedars Lane,
Swinscote, Derby, DE40 9UR. By the way, my mobile number
is 079421 645784. If you do ring me on my mobile, please can you ring after six
because I’ll be at work all day and my boss doesn’t know that I’m planning on
leaving. My current salary is 11K per annum and I would like to find something
for at least thirteen or more. I’ll bring my CV in to your office once I’ve
finished updating it. Oh yes, last month I went on a four-day intensive first
aid course, which makes me fully qualified to give first aid.”
