1Hello, West Bay Hotel. Can I help you?
2Oh, good morning.
3I'm ringing about your advertisement in the Evening Gazette.
4Is that the one for temporary staff?
5That's right.
6Yes.
7I'm afraid the person who's dealing with that isn't in today,
8but I can give you the main details if you like.
9Yes, please.
10Could you tell me what kind of staff you are looking for?
11We're looking for waiters at the moment.
12There was one post for a cook, but that's already been taken.
13Oh right.
14What are the hours of work?
15There are two different shifts -
16there's a day shift from 7 to 2
17and a late shift from 4 till 11.
18And can people choose which one they want to do?
19Not normally, because everyone would choose the day shift I suppose.
20You alternate from one week to another.
21Okay. I'm just writing all this down.
22What about time off?
23You get one day off
24and I think you can negotiate which one you want,
25it's more or less up to you.
26But it has to be the same one every week.
27Do you know what the rates of pay are?
28Yes, I've got them here.
29You get £5.50 an hour,
30and that includes a break.
31Do I have to go home to eat or...
32You don't have to.
33You can get a meal in the hotel if you want to,
34and there's no charge for it so you might as well.
35Oh good.
36Yes, so let's see.
37I'd get er..., 221, no, no, £231 a week?
38You'd also get tips.
39Our guests tend to be quite generous.
40Erm, is there a uniform?
41What about clothes?
42Yes, I forgot to mention that.
43You need to wear a white shirt, just a plain one,
44and dark trousers.
45You know, not green or anything like that.
46And we don't supply those.
47That's okay, I've got trousers,
48I'd just have to buy a couple of shirts.
49What about anything else?
50Do I need a waistcoat or anything?
51You have to wear a jacket, but the hotel lends you that.
52I see.
53One last thing - I don't know what the starting date is.
54Just a minute, I think it's sometime around the end of June.
55Yes, the 28th, in time for the summer.
56That's great. I'm available from the 10th.
57Oh good.
58Well, if you can call again you need to speak to the Service Manager.
59Her name's Jane Urwin,
60that's URWIN,
61and she'll probably arrange to meet you.
62Okay.
63And when's the best time to ring?
64Could you call tomorrow?
65She usually starts checking the rooms at midday,
66so before then if you can, so she'll have more time to chat.
67I'll just give you her number because she's got a direct line.
68Thanks.
69It's 832009.
70823009?
71832.
72Oh, okay.
73Yes, I'll do that.
74And by the way, she will ask you for a reference,
75so you might like to be thinking about that.
76You know, just someone who knows you and can vouch for you.
77Yes, no problem.
78Well, thanks very much for your help.
79You're welcome.
80Bye.
81Bye.
