Abstract
It is 8.10 a.m. on a Tuesday morning in November. The phone rings. As Susan is expecting a call, she quickly picks up. It’s Lissie, her assignment coordinator at the Olsten Stockholm office. Lissie has found a new assignment for Susan. Is she interested? The assignment is with a telecommunications company located about ten kilometres outside of Stockholm, in Kista. According to the job description given by the client, the assignment seems to fit Susan’s profile and skill level. The length of the assignment also seems to fit her availability. And Lissie also thinks Susan would fit in well overall, judging from what she knows about the company generally. What does Susan say?
