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.

I do help people at work regularly. Sometimes I help them to fix their computers. Sometimes I give them comments to their task. I help to do their word when they need to take a day off. But there are times when I don't want to help because people are lazy.

Sometimes I like to help people with their homework, even more if it is a language task. I mostly do my french friend's Spanish assigments and teach her the basis of this language.

I Always try to be helpfull for the others collegues and for this reason I always try to help the others people at work and also outside. About the collegues I do every type of work that could help them to finish faster their jobs, for example I create contracts, manage the SAP platform and revise them works before them goes to the manager.
