Sealing the Deal

哇，蒂芬妮順利錄取成為社會新鮮人了，真是恭喜！但是薪資該怎麼提才好呢？為了即將進入職場或是苦於跟老闆談薪的你，我們將【談「薪」技巧大公開】！如此實用的內容絕對不能錯過囉！

Daniel: Well Tiffany, we would like to offer you a job here at our company. Do you have any questions for us?

Tiffany: Yes, I have one. How much does the job pay?

Daniel: How much salary do you expect?

Tiffany: What salary will you offer me?

Daniel: OK then. Our basic proposition is NT$ 30,000 every month. We decided on this salary based on your experience.

Tiffany: Does that include all national holidays?

Daniel: Yes, but not all of Chinese New Year. You will have to work some to make up for that week.

Tiffany: I appreciate the offer, but from my perspective, NT$ 30,000 is not enough for someone who had two great internships in college, like I did.

Daniel: How much do you have in mind?

Tiffany: Well, because of my past experience, I would like NT$ 38,000 per month. I will be one of the best employees at your company with my knowledge and experience, so I feel it’s a fair salary.

Daniel: That’s a little high. May we offer a compromise? How about NT$ 35,000?

Tiffany: OK, I think that will work for me.

Daniel: Great, I believe we have an agreement. It’s our pleasure to have you aboard, Tiffany.

Tiffany: Thank you Daniel for the opportunity, and I look forward to starting work soon.

中文翻議

丹尼爾：嗯…蒂芬妮，我們想要請妳到我們的公司上班。妳有什麼問題要問嗎？

蒂芬妮：有，我有一個問題。這份工作的薪水是多少？

丹尼爾：妳期望的薪水為何？

蒂芬妮：你們能提供的待遇是多少呢？

丹尼爾：好的，我們初步的提議是月薪新台幣三萬元。我們是根據妳的經驗所做出的決定。

蒂芬妮：這有包括所有的國定假日嗎？

丹尼爾：有，但是並不包含農曆新年。妳需要多上幾天班來補足那一週。

蒂芬妮：感謝您的提議。但是，就我看來，月薪三萬元對於像我一樣在大學時期有兩個超棒實習經驗的人來說，是不夠的。

丹尼爾：那妳希望的待遇是…？

蒂芬妮：根據過去的經驗，我希望每個月是三萬八千元。利用我的知識和經驗，我將會是貴公司最棒的員工之一，所以我覺得這個薪水很合理。

丹尼爾：這個數字有點高。我能否提出一個折衷辦法？三萬五千元可以嗎？

蒂芬妮：可以，我覺得這個數字可以接受。

丹尼爾：好，我相信我們達成協議了。蒂芬妮，我們很榮幸有妳加入。

蒂芬妮：丹尼爾，謝謝您給我這個機會。我期待盡快開始工作。
