Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 5 to 9.
Although I left university with a good degree, I suddenly found that it was
actually quite hard to find a job. After being unemployed for a few months, I
realized I had to take the first thing that came along or I'd be in serious financial
difficulties. And so, for six very long months, I became a market research telephone interviewer.
I knew it wasn't the best company in the world when they told me that I'd have
to undergo three days of training before starting work, and that I wouldn't get
paid for any of it. Still, I knew that the hourly rate when I actually did start full
time would be a lot better than unemployment benefit, and I could work up to
twelve hours a day, seven days a week if I wanted. So, I thought of the money
I'd earn and put up with three days of unpaid training. Whatever those three
days taught me - and I can't really remember anything about them today - I
wasn't prepared for the way I would be treated by the supervisors.
It was worse than being at school. There were about twenty interviewers like
myself, each sitting in a small, dark booth with an ancient computer and a dirty
telephone. The booths were around the walls of the fifth floor of a concrete
office block, and the supervisors sat in the middle of the room, listening in to all
of our telephone interviews. We weren't allowed to talk to each other, and if we
took more than about two seconds from ending one phone call and starting
another, they would shout at us to hurry up and get on with our jobs. We even
had to ask for permission to go to the toilet. I was amazed how slowly the day
went. Our first break of the day came at eleven o'clock, two hours after we
started. I'll always remember that feeling of despair when I would look at my
watch thinking, 'It must be nearly time for the break', only to find that it was M i ọ thắc m c

quarter to ten and that there was another hour and a quarter to go. My next
thought was always, 'I can't believe I'm going to be here until nine o'clock tonight.'
The most frightening aspect of the job was that I was actually quite good at it. 'Oh, no!' I thought.
‘Maybe I'm destined to be a market researcher for the rest of my life.' My boss
certainly seemed to think so. One day - during a break, of course - she ordered
me into her office. 'Simon,' she said, 'I'm promoting you. From tomorrow, you're
off telecoms and onto credit card complaints. I'm sure you can handle it. There's
no extra pay, but it is a very responsible position.'
Three weeks later, I quit. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
