Description

What makes the perfect secretary? Anne Hailes is a young secretary at UTV and we talk to some othern women who do the job. Telling lies is part of the job it appears. This is an interesting exploration of the life of a working woman. Keeping confidences, laughing at the boss’s jokes and how to ask for a raise are all covered here. There are other things to think of; how to dress, do wives get jealous and the dangers of office parties and the ‘office wolf’. 

Is it as glamorous as it appears on TV? Funny enough, no. 

Credits

An Ulster Television Production.
