Hey! Have you heard ? There are vacancies on the new project.
Oh yeah ?
I really want to apply !
Seriously ?
Why not ?
In your situation ?
Oh, that's nice of you ! Hang on, I've got the skills!
Yes ! You have got the skillset however, the thing is, with your family, your children, I imagine well that…
My husband and I are organised ! We manage !
So, personally, I think it's more a job for Alex, he's highly available.
Alex ? Are you kidding me ? He's just become a dad, with a baby !
So what? Doesn't his wife look after it ?
Maybe, but he's very hands-on.
Ah, here he is! Alex, we were talking about vacancies on the new project.
Oh yeah ? Well, I've got a four-month assignment.
oh ? The post's been filled !
Only four months ?
Yeah, I'll set up the project, and when my wife goes back to work, I'll be taking parental leave.
In fact, we need people to take over.
Ahhh… I don't think you'll be looking for long.
You ? Hey, that'd be great but... it's a heavy project and I'm not sure if with your kids...
Now, my experience tells me not to predict how available people are.
… and to enquire first, and not make any assumptions …
Yes, mind those stereotypes. Being a parent shouldn't slow down your career.
Yeah, and I should know that, right? Now it's your go !
Yeah, Ha-ha!
Okay…
