HOW TO USE

Speak as Devin
Speak as Amy
Devin: How is the new job going?

Amy: Terrible. I am in over my head. I have no idea how to do a lot of the work.

Devin: Really? I thought you were prepared to be a marketing manager.

Amy: I thought I was ready. However, there are a lot of things about being a marketing manager that I didn't know about.

Devin: I'm sure that every new marketing manager goes through this. You just need to work extra hard during the first year, and it will get easier for you.

Amy: You're right. What do you think about asking the other marketing managers for help?

Devin: Don't be afraid to ask the more senior marketing managers for advice. It is a great way to learn.

Amy: Thanks for listening and helping. I've got to go now, but I'll call you later.

Devin: Okay. Talk to you later.
