“Sure thing boss”

“So Jo, have you managed to find somewhere to live, I understand you’ve moved here from London?”

“Yeah, I’ve been there for a while, but my parents still live here, I managed to find a temporary apartment just off Sunset, till I can find something more permanent.”

“Your parents not have any room for you.”

“Oh yeah, I just couldn’t stand to live with them for more than a couple of weeks.  Don’t get me wrong I love them dearly, but they drive me crazy after a couple of days.”

“Ha, ha, I know what you mean.  So lets get down to business.  Larry and Michaela have told me all about you and I have seen some of your work. So I was more than happy for them to make the decision to hire you.  So can you tell me a bit about your most recent work?”

“Sure, well I have done a lot of freelance work the last couple of years, working on a lot of British films, most recently on Nowhere Boy with Sam Taylor-Wood and before that Sherlock Holmes with Guy Ritchie.”

“Impressive, I’ve heard of Nowhere Boy, and loved Sherlock Holmes, what was that like working with Guy Ritchie?”

“It was a lot of fun, Guy is pretty easy to work with and was happy to leave me and the team to get on with things.  He would make a suggestion every now and again, but was happy with the work we did.”

“Well, I guess you are ready to get to work then?”

“Of course I can’t wait”

Tina spent the next couple of hours talking about the movies that they had in production at the moment and what she would like Jo to start on.  She had given her a tour of the office and introduced her to the rest of the Editing team.  Jo had been taken on as Senior Editor so everyone would be reporting to her.  They all were pleased with the choice, apparently they had all done a little researching of their own on their new boss and found that she was good at what she did and had a good reputation of treating her staff well.
