Woman: Hello, West Bay Hotel. Can I help you?
Man: Oh, good morning. I'm writing about your advertisement in the Evening Gazette.
Woman: Is that the one for temporary staff?
Man: That's right.
Woman: Yes. I'm afraid the person who's dealing with isn't in today, but I can give you the main details if you like.
Man: Yes please. Could you tell me what kind of staff you are looking for?
Woman: We're looking for waiters at the moment. There was one post for a cook, but that's already been taken.
Man: Oh right. Erm, what are the hours of work?
Woman: There are two different shifts, there's a day shift from 7 to 2 and a late shift from 4 till 11.
Man: And can people choose which one they want to do?
Woman: Not normally, because everyone would choose the day shift I suppose. You alternate from one week to another.
Man: Okay. I'm just writing all this down. What about time off?
Woman: You get one day off and I think you can negotiate which one you want, it's more or less up to you. But it has to be the same one every week.
Man: Do you know what the rates of pay are?
Woman: Yes, I've got them here. You get 5.50 pounds an hour, and that includes a break.
Man: Do I have to go home to eat or?
Woman: You don't have to. You can get a meal in the hotel if you want to, and there's no charge for it so you might as well.
Man: Oh good. Yes, so let's see. I'd get er, 221 pounds, no, 231 pounds a week?
