| [0-1:59.750] | Hey Dan. How did the appraisal go? |
| [00:03.960] | Oh, it was pretty good thanks. |
| [00:05.440] | Carol, she's my line manager, Carol， |
| [00:08.200] | seemed to know me better than I knew myself, |
| [00:10.770] | and she really helped me to identify strengths and weaknesses I didn't know I had. |
| [00:16.900] | I'd thought we were just going to talk about practical things, |
| [00:20.830] | like what my prospects are for promotion, |
| [00:23.590] | rather than my psychology. |
| [00:25.580] | Do you want a promotion? |
| [00:26.930] | I thought you'd chosen to go down a grade when you took this job. |
| [00:30.770] | That's right. I used to manage a sales team. |
| [00:34.980] | It meant working long hours, |
| [00:37.230] | and it could be pretty difficult at times, |
| [00:39.720] | though on the whole I enjoyed the challenge. |
| [00:42.180] | But it kept me at a distance from customers |
| [00:45.370] | and I wanted to go back to that. |
| [00:46.980] | So here I am, a sales rep again. |
| [00:49.930] | I'd be interested in promotion |
| [00:52.220] | if it didn't stop me doing the fun parts of the job. |
| [00:55.540] | How have people reacted to your taking a step down? |
| [00:59.420] | Most of the people in my last company found it strange, |
| [01:02.900] | but in fact a couple of them thought about changing to this company too, |
| [01:07.120] | though it didn't come to anything. |
| [01:09.290] | These seems to be a rumour going around |
| [01:11.890] | that I'll be looking for something better soon, |
| [01:14.280] | but actually I'm pretty happy here. |
