Making and Receiving a Job Offer

Salima: Hello. 

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 coverage¹, and vision coverage is optional. 

Salima: I see. And vacation time? 

Jake: Vacation days, personal leave, and sick leave accrue² one day per month in your first year, and then increase with your tenure³ 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.
