地道美语听力练习:接到电话要求去上班

Jake:Hi, this is Jake Nagano at Fixit Corp.

How are you today?

Salima:Oh, hi, Jake. I'm fine. How are you?

Jake:Good.The reason I'm calling is that we'd like to offer you the position you interviewed for last week.

Salima:Oh, that's great. I was really impressed with Fixit.

Jake:I'm glad to hear it. We're prepared to offer you a starting salary of 55,000.

You will get full medical and dental coverage, and vision coverage is optional.

Salima:I see. And vacation time?

Jake:Vacation days, personal leave,and sick leave accrue one day per month in your first year,and then increase with your tenure with the company.

Salima:What would be my job title?

Jake:You'd be a junior specialist and you'd be working under Monique Stansfield, the department manager.

Salima:Is the salary negotiable at all?

Jake:Well, we would consider any counteroffers, but this is a typical compensation package for new hires in these positions.

Salima:I see.

Jake:Why don't you think about it?

I'll need to hear back from you by Wednesday. Will that work?

Salima:Sure, no problem. Just one more thing:

I heard that the company has a box at the stadium...

Jake:Let me stop you right there.

I hope that's not a deal-breaker because it's taken me...

I mean...it takes years for employees to get invited.

Salima:No, not a deal-breaker at all.

I'm just a fan.

Jake:In that case, it would be a pleasure to welcome you aboard.
