My job
1. Marry, retail buyer
I work for a supermarket chain. My job involves buying prepared salads and vegetables from local and national suppliers. I also take part in different logistics projects. For example, at the moment we're working with an external consultant. He's looking at ways to get our salads and vegetables to the supermarket shelves more quickly.
2. John, public relations officer
I work for the police, but I'm not a policeman. A lot of my work consists of answering questions from journalists when the police are in the news. I'm also involved in a new project to attract new people to the police force. For this, I'm working with senior police officers and with outside employment agencies.
3. Alison, occupational psychologist
I'm self-employed. Basically, I deal with problems of relations between staff. At the moment, for example, I'm doing a study on virtual teamwork for one of my industrial customers. They work with many sub-contractors all over the world, and their managers want to communicate better with their colleagues abroad. I work a lot with training organizations which provide the courses my customers need.
