M: Right. I'll graduate from college next June.

W: Have you ever done any work in this field?

M: No, never. We did some practice work in class.

W: You seem to be doing well at college. What kind of pay do you hope to get?

M: From what I've read, it seems that the pay at the beginning would, be around $12,000 a year.

W: Here we would start at $10,500 for the first year of training. Then you would get $15,000. After that it would depend on how well you work.

M: That sounds fair enough. What about other things, like vacation?

W: Those are all explained in this paper. You can take it along and look at it at home.

M: Do you really think I can get a job here? I really hope that I can work here. But I guess I'll just have to go home and wait.

W: Well, I'm talking to three people today and four tomorrow. The company will be hiring two people. You'll hear sometime next month. Good luck and thanks for coming today.
