Eliz: Hello, I’m Elizabeth Moore. Welcome to Functioning in Business!
MUSIC
Larry: Functioning in Business is an international level business English course with a focus on American business practices and culture. Today’s unit is “Introductions, Part 6.” This program focuses on personal questions.
Interview: Shirley Graham.
Larry: Interview.
Eliz: Our guest today is Ms. Shirley Graham. Ms. Graham is Senior Vice President at Advanced Technologies. Good evening, Ms. Graham. Thank you for joining us.
Graham: My pleasure.
Eliz: We have already met Mike Epstein, who is a Senior Systems Engineer at your company. He explained to us how he met Charles Blake in China at a trade show. Mr. Epstein was interested in purchasing industrial robots from Mr. Blake’s company for one of your factories.
Graham: Yes, that’s right. Mr. Epstein felt that the industrial robots would increase productivity at our new factory.
Eliz: And you were also involved in the negotiations about the robots? Graham: Yes, I was. Both Mr. Epstein and I met with Mr. Blake when he visited our company.
Eliz: We’ll be talking more about those meetings in the coming weeks. Let’s tell our listeners a little about your work at Advanced Technologies. As Vice President, what are your main responsibilities?
Graham: One thing I do is oversee our manufacturing plants and facilities. Last year we built a new factory, and of course we’re always modernizing our existing facilities.
Eliz: I see. And what are your main concerns in the construction of a new factory?
Graham: That’s a very complex question. Of course, one concern is keeping costs within limits. We also have to be concerned with a design that will help improve our productivity and provide flexibility for the future.
Eliz: How many people work for you?
Graham: Well, I have five senior engineers who report directly to me, including Mike Epstein. I also have my own support staff.
Eliz: Before coming to Advanced Technologies, what did you do?
Graham: I worked for Boston Electronics for five years.
Eliz: And what did you do there?
Graham: I was in charge of marketing.
Eliz: Why did you leave?
Graham: I felt I could handle more responsibility, and the company wasn’t growing at that time. So I began looking for a new position.
Eliz: Did you work with an executive recruiter?
Graham: Yes, I did. She was very helpful. She told me that there was a position opening up at Advanced Technologies.
Eliz: What attracted you to Advanced Technologies?
Graham: The opportunities for growth and for greater responsibility.
Eliz: I see. Do you feel that you made a good choice?
Graham: Oh, definitely. My work is challenging and I’m well rewarded.
Eliz: That’s all very interesting.
