For her first evening's work at the bar, Sarah dressed up. She wore a black skirt and
white blouse, as she had been told to look smart. However, when she turned up, she
found out that the manager had been less than honest with her about the job. She had
to serve the customers and also work in the kitchen. Still, she decided to go on
working at the bar for the time being. After all, she was getting on well in the job.
Three months later, she saw an advertisement in the paper for a sales assistant at a
department store. She thought it over carefully, and decided to apply for it. 'But I
won't tell anyone until I've got the new job!' she thought. The prospect of doing
something different cheered her up considerably.
