生活英語情景口語100主題 62. The Career ladder 晉升階梯
Dialogue 1:
Hi, Col, what can I do for you?
If you have a few minutes, I would like to talk to you about the future of this company.
Sure, have a seat.
Thanks.
Let me just grab your file. How long have you worked for us just now?
I've worked here as a sales representative for about a year now.
1 year already, it's amazing how time flies like that. Are you enjoying your job?
Yes, but I'd like to have a chance of job advance.
I see. What job did you have in mind?
Well, I've noticed that there is a position available as a sales manager.
Do you understand what duties that job would in tell ?
Yes, I'll be directly responsible for all the sales representatives in my department. I assume there be more meetings, paper working and other responsibilies too.
That's right. Do you have any experience in management?
Yes, in fact if you look at my resume you can see that I was a manager before I started this job.
Well, I think you'd be the perfect candidate for the position. According to company policy, you still have to go through the formal application procedures, so fill this application form in and I'll call you for an interview next week.
Ok, thanks for your support.
Dialogue 2:
Are you ready for the meeting?
Yes, come on in. How is your new job going?
It's challenging, but I'm enjoying it quite a bit.
That's great. I knew you do a good job as a manager.
Thanks a lot.
How is your assistant manager getting on?
Well, that's part of the problem. His probation period is off tomorrow, but I don't think he is ready to pass.
What seems to be the problem?
Well, he was supposed to be able to learn his job in 30 days, but he just doesn't seem to know what he is doing.
If you give him another 30 days, do you think he could figure out by then?
To be honest, he has no authority. He is a hard worker but no one listens to him.
I see, not everyone is cut out to work in management.
I know, it would be great if we could transfer him to a department where he doesn't have to work with people.
There is an opening in the creative design department it involves working with computers.
That's perfect, I'll let him know tomorrow. Thanks.
