[speaker001:] Come in, please.
[speaker002:] Good morning, Mrs Smith.
[speaker001:] Good morning. You are Mr. Sun, aren't you? Take a seat, please.
[speaker002:] Yes, thank you.
[speaker001:] I've noticed from your resume that you majored in accounting at Peking University. Will you please tell me something about your related courses?
[speaker002:] In the first academic year we learned Principles of Accounting, and in the following years we learned Cost Accounting, Commercial Accounting, Industrial Accounting, and Management Accounting.
[speaker001:] Have you taken Accounting for Decision-Making and Control?
[speaker002:] No, we haven't taken such a course, but we have taken a more specialized course for decision making, by the name of Forecasting and Decision-Making.
[speaker001:] From your school report card, I can see you did well in every course. But our advertisement says we need an accountant with practical work experience.
[speaker002:] I forgot to include my experience as an accountant in my resume. In fact, I took a part-time job as an accountant at the Atlantic Trading Company during my second and third school year. I worked three evenings a week there and I did quite well. Here is the recommendation.
[speaker001:] You can speak English fluently but I wonder if you can deal with bookkeeping and accounting in English.
[speaker002:] No problem. The professional English course is just English for Accounting. Moreover, as you know, the Atlantic Trading Company is a Sino-Australian joint venture. When I served part-time there, I became well acquainted with accounting operated in English.
[speaker001:] That sounds fine. Why did you choose to apply to our company?
[speaker002:] I have a relative working as a manager in your manufacturing department. Her name is Lilling. She told me a lot about your company and I became quite interested. I believe I can have a promising career with the development of this company.
[speaker001:] Do you know something about the payment we give to our employees?
[speaker002:] No, can you tell me about it?
[speaker001:] Of course. As for an entry-level accountant, we pay ¥ 1,500 a month in the first half year. We have a grading system to evaluate your work. If you have made progress, we will certainly raise your salary. For beginners with a CPA certificate, they can earn at least ¥ 2, 000 a month.
[speaker002:] I have passed the five courses required by the Chinese CPA Association, but the certificate won't come to hand until next month. How about that?
[speaker001:] I hope you can show me your CPA certificate before we reach a decision by the end of July.
[speaker002:] Thank you, Mrs Smith. It is really a pleasure talking with you.
[speaker001:] The same for me. We'll keep in touch with you.
[speaker002:] Thank you. Good-bye.
