[01:23.40]WOMAN:So,I understand you're interested in restaurant work?
[01:26.48]MAN:Yes. I've got a bit of experience and I can provide references.
[01:31.58]WOMAN:That's good. I can check all that later.
[01:34.55]Now, Milo's Restaurants have some vacancies at the moment. They're a really good company to work for. Lots of benefits.
[01:42.07]MAN:Oh right.
[01:42.64]WOMAN:Yes. They've got a very good reputation for looking after staff.
[01:47.36]For example, all employees get training — even temporary staff.
[01:51.50]MAN:Oh really? That's quite unusual, isn't it?
[01:54.57]WOMAN:Certainly is.
[01:55.78]MAN:And do staff get free uniforms too?
[01:59.07]WOMAN:Um ... you just need to wear a white T-shirt and black trousers, it says here.
[02:05.76]So I guess not ... But another benefit of working for a big company like this is that you can get a discount at any of their restaurants.
[02:14.78]MAN:Even at weekends?
[02:16.22]WOMAN:No, but you'll be working then anyway.
[02:18.95]MAN:Oh yes. I suppose so. Most of their restaurants are in the city centre, aren't they? So, easy to get to by bus?
[02:27.97]WOMAN:Yes. That's right.
[02:29.35]But if you have to do a late shift and finish work after midnight, the company will pay for you to get a taxi home.
[02:36.25]MAN:I probably won't need one. I think I'd use my bike.
[02:39.58]WOMAN:OK. Now, they do have some quite specific requirements for the kind of person they're looking for.
[02:46.62]Milo's is a young, dynamic company and they're really keen on creating a strong team.
[02:52.38]It's really important that you can fit in and get on well with everyone.
[02:56.26]MAN:Yeah. I've got no problem with that, It sounds good, actually.
[03:00.37]The last place I worked for was quite demanding too.
[03:04.11]We had to make sure we gave a really high level of service.
[03:07.78]WOMAN:That's good to hear because that will be equally important at Milo's.
[03:12.26]I know they want people who have an eye for detail.
[03:15.05]MAN:That's fine. I'm very used to working in that kind of environment.
[03:18.68]WOMAN:Perfect. So the only other thing that's required is good communication skills, you'll need to have a certificate in English.
[03:26.32]MAN:Sure.
[04:08.91]WOMAN:OK. Let's have a look at the current job vacancies at Milo's.
[04:12.27]The first one is in Wivenhoe Street.
[04:15.23]MAN:Sorry, where?
[04:16.34]WOMAN:Wivenhoe. W-I-V-E-N-H-O-E. It's quite central, just off Cork Street.
[04:26.40]MAN:Oh right.
[04:27.49]WOMAN:They're looking for a breakfast supervisor.
[04:30.28]MAN:That would be OK.
[04:31.95]WOMAN:So you're probably familiar with the kind of responsibilities involved.
[04:36.59]Obviously checking that all the portions are correct, etc., and then things like checking all the procedures for cleaning the equipment are being followed.
[04:45.40]MAN:OK. And what about the salary?
[04:48.67]In my last job I was getting £9.50 per hour.
[04:52.57]I was hoping to get a bit more than that.
[04:55.39]WOMAN:well, to begin with. you'd be getting £9.75 but that goes up to £11.25 after three months.
[05:03.82]MAN:That's not too bad. And I suppose it's a very early start?
[05:08.73]WOMAN:Mmm. That's the only unattractive thing about this job.
[05:11.89]But then you have the afternoons and evenings free.
[05:14.86]So the restaurant starts serving breakfast from 7 a.m.
[05:18.95]And you'd have to be there at 5.30 to set everything up. But you'd be finished at 12.30.
[05:26.38]MAN:Mmm. Well, as you say, there are advantages to that.
[05:29.72]WOMAN:Now, you might also be interested in the job at the City Road branch.
[05:34.55]That's for a junior chef, so again a position of responsibility.
[05:38.82]MAN:I might prefer that, actually.
[05:41.03]WOMAN:Right, well obviously this role would involve supporting the sous chef and other senior staff.
[05:47.92]And you'd be responsible for making there's enough stock each week — and sorting out all the deliveries.
[05:54.45]MAN:I've never done that before, but I imagine it's fairly straightforward, once you get the hang of it.
[06:00.28]WOMAN:Yes, and you'd be working alongside more experienced staff to begin with, so I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.
[06:07.43]The salary's slightly higher here.
[06:09.66]It's an annual salary of £23,000.
[06:13.28]MAN:Right.
[06:14.30]WOMAN:I know that if they like you, it's likely you'll be promoted quite quickly. So that's worth thinking about.
[06:20.67]MAN:Yes. It does sound interesting. What are the hours like?
[06:24.83]WOMAN:The usual, I think. There's a lot of evening and weekend work, but they're closed on Mondays.
[06:31.39]But you do get one Sunday off every four weeks.
[06:35.11]So would you like me to send off your ...
