ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Phone Interview: Talking About Salary Expectations

Hi, is this Daniel? It's Rachel from Brightline Recruitment.

Yes, speaking! Thanks for calling on time.

Is now still a good time for a quick chat?

Absolutely! I've been looking forward to it.

Great. The hiring manager loved your portfolio, by the way.

Oh, really? That's lovely to hear.

So, what made you apply for this role?

Well, I've been doing marketing for four years,

and I'm ready to lead a small team.

That fits perfectly. They need someone to hit the ground running.

That sounds like exactly what I'm after.

Okay, I have to ask about your salary expectations.

Um, right... that's always the tricky one.

Don't worry, just give me a rough range.

Well, I'm currently on forty-two thousand.

So I'd be looking for around fifty to fifty-five.

Hmm, fifty-five might be a stretch for this budget.

I see. What's the range they've approved?

They're thinking forty-eight, possibly fifty.

Oh... that's a bit lower than I'd hoped.

I understand. But the benefits package is very generous.

Could you tell me a bit more about that?

Sure! Two remote days a week and a yearly bonus.

Okay, that does make a real difference.

Well, would they consider fifty if I take on extra duties?

That's a fair question. I'll put it to them today.

And the good news? They want to see you on Thursday!

Wow, Thursday? That's fantastic news!

I'll email you the details this afternoon.

Thank you so much, Rachel. You've been really helpful.

My pleasure. Good luck, Daniel!
