Now Your Turn
SAMPLE DIALOG
A: What can I do for you?
B: I’m looking for a public relations manager at our advertising¹ company.
A: Do you have any specific requirement for such a manager?
B: Well, first of all, she must be a good leader, who know to be strong, yet knows how to allow people freedom. Only in this way can she give full play to the employees’ enthusiasm.
A: Oh, that’s essential for leader in many companies. What other qualities do you expect of the manager?
B: She must be skilled in interpersonal communications. You see, without such skill, one can hardly get a job well done.
A: I can’t agree more. Is that all?
B: Not yet. If she happens to have a wide network of business connections, it’ll be a great assert² to the company.
A: I see. We’ll try our best to find one who meets your requirements.
B: Do you think you can pin one down quickly?
A: Probably. You see, a number of firms have been downsizing. So it’s a good time for head-hunting.
B: Good. That’s why they call you headhunters.
