 Tom Robinson’s parents were poor, so Tom had to go to work when he was still a boy. It wasn’t easy to find work that he could do: Tom was small and thin. At last he got a place in an office where the work wasn’t too hard, though there was much of it. Tom was paid only six shillings a week for his work. He wasn’t satisfied with the low pay. But for a long time he was afraid to ask for a rise. At last he decided to go to Mr. Marton’s office and ask for a rise. He decided that he would not leave the room until Mr. Marton had promised to give him four shillings more a week.
He slowly opened the door and asked: “May I speak to you, sir?” Tom’s voice sounded much smaller and thinner, as he told him that he wanted a rise of four shillings.
“You are an honest boy and not afraid of work,” Mr. Marton said. “But don’t you think that ten shillings is too much for such a small boy?”
“No, I don’t,” Tom answered. “I am older than I look. To tell you the truth, since I have worked here, I have been so busy that I haven’t had time to grow.”

Technology has allowed more and more people to work from the place where they live. Using a modem on a telephone line connected to their computer, everyone can be linked to the company computer. In this way, they don’t waste so much time because they don’t have to go to the office every day. It also means less pollution in the atmosphere caused by transport.

Caroline Delon
“I’ve worked for about twelve years now, since I left university. I went to university and studied languages – English and Spanish – and business administration. When I left I had no idea what I wanted to do, but I knew the jobs I didn’t want. I never wanted a boring job in an office. I wanted to meet people, travel, use my languages. I took lots of temporary jobs, just to earn some money. I was a waitress, I served behind a barand, I worked as a guide for a travel company. Then I got a job as a secretary with an advertising agency. One of the clients of the advertising agency was the film company, called Talking Pictures, and I started working for them. I stayed there for quite a long time – about 5 years – as the Personal Assistant to the Managing Director.”

Eugenie Blanco
“I left Venezuela after High School and went to the States and did a two-year business course. Then I worked in an oil company for about four years. My first job was as a receptionist, but then they asked me to replace a senior secretary. Then I moved to London and worked for Marks & Spencer.
When I came to France, I got an ordinary secretarial job at the Venezuelan Embassy. But two weeks later they asked me to be a secretary to the Ambassador! I did that for four years here in Paris. Then I decided I would like to work at the airport for Venezuelan Airlines. I started the job and soon after they told me to go and work as a senior secretary in the Head Office. After that I joined the Herald Tribune – it’s been nine years now. They wanted someone with Spanish mother tongue, good English and knowledge of French. I love the job.”

“My name is Milan Havel and I’m an assistant manager at the Hotel Ambassador in London. There are two assistant managers, and one of us is always on duty at busy times. The general manager has overall responsibility, of course, and we report directly to her. We are responsible for the day-to-day running of the hotel. We plan the work schedules, manage the accounts, and deal with any problems to do with staff or guests.
We have a staff of about 100 people. Basically, there are four departments, each with its own manager. Firstly, there’s front of the house – that’s receptionists, the people who deal with our guests on a daily basis. Then there’s housekeeping – all the services to do with the rooms. Then the banqueting and conference manager who organizes all the events that take place in the hotel. And finally, there’s the food and beverage manager.”
