听力题 M: Good morning. W: Good morning. Please come in and have a seat. M: Thank you. W: I have been looking through your application. You seem to have many of the qualifications needed for this position. That''s one of the reasons why you''ve been short-listed. M: Thank you. As a matter of fact, I have been in computer programming for three years. W: Yes, I see. Were you satisfied with your last position? M: Generally, yes. But to be honest, not entirely. I was with a small, family-owned company, and chances for advancement were very limited. W: The letter of reference from the president praises your work highly. M: Mr. Brown gave me a lot of responsibility and I learned a great deal about company operations. W: Well, we ask for loyalty and, hard work from our employees. But we pay well, and opportunities for promotion depend on merit, not just age or seniority. M: I am very interested in working for your firm. W: I see. Well, have you got any questions? M: Yes, well, I wonder if you could tell me what the salary would be. W: Of course. We''d be offering a starting salary of $600 a week, that''s for 40 hours. M: Do you mean that it might be increased at a later time? W: Yes, we usually give our staff a month''s trial and then, if everything is satisfactory, we raise the salary by 20 percent. Any more questions? M: No. I think that''s all. W: Well, thank you very much for coming in. I have a few more short-listed candidates to interview today for this position. But at the moment, your chances look very good. We will be in touch with you soon. M: Thank you very much for your time.
