May: How's your assistant? Is he a good worker? John: He's fine. It's been only 3 weeks since he's started working at the company so I guess we should wait and see a little longer. May: Sure£¬ but are you glad to have him? I remember you said that you needed a capable worker. John: We did£¬ because we were really in a tight spot. We lost a couple of big customers last month and I needed more persons to make it up. Right now£¬ the new person's making cold calls using the telephone book and that's saving a lot of time for the others. May: You mean£¬ he's calling potential customers? John: Yes. Usually£¬ when you first start to work for a company like mine£¬ that's what you are asked to do. May: That sounds like a tough job. John: There's nothing easy in life. | |
