4. The speaker arrived in San Francisco last Saturday
    with many other Oscar nominees in her category. They
    spent the week doing a road trip round all the major
    animation studios. She felt happy that she met the head
    of DreamWorks and Nick Park. She definitely sees the
    avenues to success opening up for her with the big
    studios not because there's a job offer, but because
    they're all interested and want to meet up again.

    nominee and the possible job goes ahead waiting for
    her.
5. If your boss happens to be difficult or abusive, you can
    appeal to a higher authority. But before you take this
