Preparation

Transcript

Susanne: Hi, Mario. Can you help me prepare some things for the next month?

Mario: OK, sure. What can I help you with?

Susanne: I need to visit the customer in Germany. It's important.

Mario: What can I do to help?

Susanne: Can you send an email to the customer? Ask them when I can visit them next week. Please do this first. It's a priority and very urgent.

Mario: Right. I'll do it today.

Susanne: Thanks. This next task is also important. Can you invite everyone to the next team meeting?

Mario: Yes, I will.

Susanne: But first you need to book a meeting room. After that, please send everyone an email about it.

Mario: Yes, of course.

Susanne: And finally, can you write a short report about our new project? I have to give a presentation to our managers next month. Please do it when you have time – sometime in the next two or three weeks. It's not too urgent.

Mario: Sure, no problem. I can do it this week.

Susanne: There's no hurry. Take your time.

Yes, I did. I usually help other people with using some application like word, excel, PowerPoint,... They had a problem with it and I checked for them. If I know how to fix it, I will fix it for them. If I don't, I will search in google and try to fix.

Yes, I usually help people at my work when they have issues using the IT equipment, generally they have doubts using the printers or sending emails or when they work with audio equipment when they're in virtual meetings. Sometimes I need to go to their offices but most of the times I can fix the problem o give assistance remotely.

Thanks for the lesson.
Great site!
