Hey! Have you heard ? There are vacancies on the new project.

00:00:02.821 --> 00:00:03.402
Oh yeah ?

00:00:03.402 --> 00:00:04.676
I really want to apply !

00:00:04.836 --> 00:00:06.074
Seriously ?

00:00:06.074 --> 00:00:06.842
Why not ?

00:00:06.842 --> 00:00:08.110
In your situation ?

00:00:08.110 --> 00:00:10.560
Oh, that's nice of you ! Hang on, I've got the skills!

00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:15.370
Yes ! You have got the skillset however, the thing is, with your family, your children, I imagine well that…

00:00:15.370 --> 00:00:17.492
My husband and I are organised ! We manage !

00:00:17.492 --> 00:00:21.185
So, personally, I think it's more a job for Alex, he's highly available.

00:00:21.185 --> 00:00:24.746
Alex ? Are you kidding me ? He's just become a dad, with a baby !

00:00:24.746 --> 00:00:26.766
So what? Doesn't his wife look after it ?

00:00:26.766 --> 00:00:28.696
Maybe, but he's very hands-on.

00:00:28.696 --> 00:00:32.591
Ah, here he is! Alex, we were talking about vacancies on the new project.

00:00:32.591 --> 00:00:34.658
Oh yeah ? Well, I've got a four-month assignment.

00:00:34.658 --> 00:00:36.508
oh ? The post's been filled !

00:00:36.508 --> 00:00:37.466
Only four months ?

00:00:37.466 --> 00:00:41.671
Yeah, I'll set up the project, and when my wife goes back to work, I'll be taking parental leave.

00:00:41.671 --> 00:00:43.831
In fact, we need people to take over.

00:00:43.831 --> 00:00:46.370
Ahhh… I don't think you'll be looking for long.

00:00:46.370 --> 00:00:51.848
You ? Hey, that'd be great but... it's a heavy project and I'm not sure if with your kids...

00:00:51.848 --> 00:00:56.593
Now, my experience tells me not to predict how available people are.

00:00:56.593 --> 00:01:00.574
… and to enquire first, and not make any assumptions …

00:01:00.574 --> 00:01:04.376
Yes, mind those stereotypes. Being a parent shouldn't slow down your career.

00:01:04.376 --> 00:01:06.933
Yeah, and I should know that, right? Now it's your go !

00:01:06.933 --> 00:01:07.573
Yeah, Ha-ha!

00:01:07.573 --> 00:01:08.233
Okay…
