* Could you help me explain the meaning of these jobs:
- A Bell Captain.
- A Desk Clerk.
- A Bellman Receptionist.
* Could you explain the meaning and usage of these questions:
- " What difference does it make?"
- "Are you on the phone?"
Thank you for your help.
Have a nice day.

Default Re: Jobs

Bell captain- supervises bellhops (people who carry luggage etc)
Desk clerk- receptionist
Bellman receptionist- a bellman carries luggage and does errands (little jobs the guests want doing)

What difference does it make?- This can either mean what it says or can be a rhetorical question implying that something will not be very different or important.
Are you on the phone?- Do you have a phone?/ can you be contacted by phone?
