In a couple of years, Elaine’s dream of creating furniture will come true. Yesterday, she got a letter from a furniture manufacturer where she had worked last summer as a(n) (A) (Praktikantin), saying that they would be happy to have her as a(n) (B) (Lehrling) from January next year. A cousin of hers, who is a(n)

(C) (Möbelschreiner), is currently working there as a(n)

(D) (Zeitarbeiter).

And Fiona, who used to live next door when they were children, has been a(n)

(E) (Auszubildende) in the marketing department for almost a year now, since having finished her studies.

Elaine has just looked at the manufacturer’s website to learn more about the people she will meet. Barbara Fowler, the

(F) (Chefdesignerin), has been awarded Designer of the Year recently. Philip Baker, the (G)

(Schreinermeister), was her (H)

(direkter Vorgesetzter) when she did her internship. Sue Harper is Barbara Fowler’s

(I) (Assistentin), who showed her around on her first visit. Paul Jones, who was responsible for quality management last summer, is now

(J) (Produktionsleiter).

After she has finished her apprenticeship, she would like to go to the School of Furniture Design — and some day to create her own furniture!
