Task 1

Jane Houseman considers herself a happy woman. Based in London, she works as a project manager for Arbol Oil, a South American oil company which expands rapidly, especially in the Far East. Jane loves travelling; at the moment she works on a project in China, which is meaning she flies out to Beijing about once a month. She already speaks fluent Spanish, and she learns Chinese. She does not meet the two other project managers in her department very often, because they are finishing a project in Saudi Arabia, but they all get on very well and talk two or three time a week by telephone. Jane also follows a MBA course; she submits coursework by email and attends three intensive weeks per year in London. Financially Jane feels very lucky; right now she earns twice what most of her friends from university brings home, and the company plays for her MBA. In many ways, Jane believes she has the perfect job.
