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.
