Update Saturday 14 September 2013 Dear Tutor Our marketing manager informs me that many people are using social media to connect on line, often preferring Facebook and Twitter to emails. With this in mind, the agency is taking a new leap forward in its communication systems: offers of new work will now appear on Facebook as well as being sent to tutors by email. Don’t worry if you don’t do Facebook, not everybody is interested in what their friends had for tea, but if you are a Facebook follower, and wish to receive notifications of new work via that means, log onto facebook/a1tutors and click the ‘like’ button. Then select the option to receive notification of posts. You will then be alerted to all new work the second it appears. “What if I don’t have a Facebook account but would like one?” (Talking to myself again.) Log onto facebook and select the option that invites you to sign up. Survival in today’s tough market place means being prepared to embrace change even if it does seem alien to those of us who remember the ‘good old days.’ We might paint a rosy picture of those times but you don’t have to think too hard to remember that you could sit on the phone for hours waiting for someone to answer at a mainline station to get train times; cars couldn’t locate first gear unless they were stationary, and started rusting after a couple of years. Flying was the domain of the rich because airlines had no competition and BT was the only telephone supplier in the country. It was their way or no way. The chord was welded in to the network; there was no facility to unplug it, attach an extension lead or switch the ringer off. Mobile phones didn’t exist but you could have a car phone if you didn’t mind being on a waiting list for five years and paying several thousand for the privilege. Car phones were among the James Bond software as part of the spy glamour. The ‘good old days’ weren’t really so brilliant. I’d rather live in today’s world and put up with my post office occasionally closing because ‘the computer has gone down and the tills won’t work.’ Andy
