Module five Section two: Listening


Journalist : I understand you are a product manager at Thomas Cook Holidays, Mrs
Perks. When did you join them?
Mrs Perks : I joined the company as a product executive in 1993, a month after
graduation. Now I am a product manager for South Africa. Journalist: Can you tell
us what your job consists in ?
Mrs Perks : I'm looking after the Cities and Short Breaks programme. I check out
destinations, find hotels, contract them, then I come back and brochure the product.
Journalist : Do you have any special qualifications?
Mrs Perks : I left school at 16 after GCSEs and went to a College of Further
Education for two years after which I obtained a National Diploma in Business
Studies with tourism. At 18, I went to Cardiff University to do a four-year course in
the same field.
Journalist : Do you speak any foreign languages?
Mrs Perks : While at College 1 did a bi-lingual secretarial course in French and
German. I also speak Greek and Portugese.
Journalist: I suppose you have a lot of benefits, don't you?
Mrs Perks : Apart from getting very good wages, I travel a lot around the world. I
love meeting people and visiting places.
Journalist : What is a typical day for you ?
Mrs Perks : There's no such thing. Most days start at 7.30am and I'm not home until
8pm and each day is unpredictable.
Journalist: Doesn't this affect your family life?
Mrs Perks : My husband works long hours so he copes well with my working
pattern. And it's nice having days off during the week when the shops are quiet.
Journalist: Have you ever thought of doing another job?
Mrs Perks : No, never! While working in Africa, doing a safari on foot surrounded
by animals I remember thinking: "And this is supposed to be work!". Magic !
