A: welcome to ABC electronics. First, let me go over what we do in the department during a typical workday.
B; ok. I understand that we basically work form 8:30 to 5:30 with an hour-long lunch break from 12 to 1, right?
A: that's right, although we do expect you to do a little overtime if there's something important to do. The lunch break is flexible. You can go a little earlier or a little later if you prefer.
B: that's fine. Is it OK to have a coffee break during the working day?
A: of course. The main thing is that all our work must be completed on schedule. We even allow our employee to go home early if they finish their work early.
B: how often do you have meetings?
A: you should attend a department meeting every Monday morning. There are other meetings for people working together on certain projects. Department heads also attend an interdepartmental meeting each week.
B; I've met some of my colleagues already. I'm sure we'll get on well together.
A: you are entitled to a company car. Have you seen it yet?
B; I was told to take a look at it this afternoon and take care of all the paperwork.
A; ok. This is your cubicle. At first, you'll be responsible to me. Later, you'll be working more independently.
B; that's fine. I need to learn how you do things here first. Salaries are paid directly in to our bank account, aren't they?
A; that's right. Make sure you give the accounts department all your bank account details as soon as possible.
